this time it is not about Switzerland but...

...about a Swiss dog when he fell in love.

Another day I was walking my landlord's dog since she was in a retired people meeting over some castle around here. The dog brought me (yes indeed he did that, I never walked a dog and I didn't know they could do that) to the house of another person I completely didn't know. Just for you to have an idea he is a Tibetan Spaniel , a breed of assertive, small, intelligent dogs, originating in the Himalayan mountains of Tibet and he shouts a lot when sg is not Ok. They are kind og guard dogs. He is nice!
I really couldn't move or remove him, he became a stone sitting there on the floor and not leaving the place. I said in all the languages I could: KAKUI, (nice name, no?) come now! And he would't move his little buttocks from there.

After some minutes the owner of the house, a very sympathetic old lady came to see what is this "fight" right in front of her gate.
I tried to tell her in my not-yet developed French that this is the first time I was walking the dog and I don't understand, he doesn't want to move on. And she said she had never seen him and went back inside her nice house.

After this, I swear I thought of acquiring a dog. After 10 min of fighting a nice female dog came from the garden, they started playing with the gate between them. Again the owner appeared. She said how nice my little dog he is, asked if I live around here and what's up with him... So I managed to explain her this is the first time I walk that dog, that I just moved to this nice "little" commune and that Kakui won't leave the place until they talked.

Then she explained that her poor female dog happens to be veeeery old and is almost blind. She even mentioned that she just finished having her last fertility bleed (heat?) 3 weeks ago and that she might die this week since she is really old. I was amazed, old Kakui remembered his lover (the lady said he has never been there) by the smell and came to pay his respects. Aren't animals amazing sometimes?
I tried to tell his owner that her dog is amoureux but I think she didn't really care...poor little dog...his girl won't survive to produce the seed of their love...
