OH dear.....yep I had one of "those" nights last night. Not a binge-drinking one or stuffing my face with cake and ice cream while crying and watching chick flicks alone in the dark...no. I had one of those "DUH" moments and then acted on it which made it into a "super DUH" moment...
Ready?
I went out to meet my friends with our dogs on the lake last night and there's a new person there with a very tall dog that looks like a whippet but a bit thicker.
He wore a coat and a reflective vest and was very fast and handsome!
I introduced myself and asked what kind of dog he was.
"A police dog" she said.
"Ohhh cool. What are you training him to do?" -me
"To run in the fields".
I was thinking "What would be the point of that?!"
So I just simply nodded and said "Ahhh."
Later on, as we hiked in the woods surrounding the lake, I thought I'd be friendly again and asked her, "So are you a police officer or just his trainer?"
She looks at me and says, "I don't understand?"
So I repeated my question...and she looked so terribly confused.
Then I asked, "You said earlier he was a police dog right? Like he'll learn to sniff for drugs or chase down bad guys - right?"
(And here's the punch line you've all been waiting for...)
"Oh no! I'm not police! He is a POLISH HOUND DOG. I got him imported from Poland and he's a hunting dog breed."
Holy cow did I feel like an idiot.
Someone should just buy me a big box of blonde hair dye soon....
