It's Dog Awareness Week

[Im_not_Robbie_Blake]

That's what it says on the top of an envelope I received today.

I can confirm that I am aware of dogs.

Aye and the **** their stupid owners are more than happy to leave lying around or, just as bad, tied up in a little bag which is then left hanging from the nearest hedge or fence. *****.

Nice one. Incidentally my dog Charlie the Staffy makes me aware of him every time I walk in the house or go downstairs in the morning. A friendly fellow but launching himself off the settee into my arms gets a bit tiring given that he is 4.5 stone of pure muscle. My favourite bit though was about a year ago when he accidentally caught my wife behind the knees as she was walking down stairs , making her bounce down the last four steps on her arse. I laughed like a drain (after she had left the room).

We all understand this problem

Or train it to drop it

I mentioned it to my dog Stanley, and he wasn't aware of it.
