Deerhound Phrase Book

Ang's Phrase Book of Deerhound Words.....

BATH: This is a process by which the humans drench the floor, walls and themselves. You can help by shaking vigorously and frequently. 

BICYCLES: Two-wheeled exercise machines, invented for dogs to control body fat. To get maximum aerobic benefit, you must hide behind a bush and dash out, bark loudly and run alongside for a few yards; the person then swerves and falls into the bushes, and you jog  away.  A job well done!

BUMP: The best way to get your human's attention when they are drinking a fresh cup of coffee or tea. 

DEAFNESS: This is a malady which affects Deerhounds when their person wants them in and they want to stay out. Symptoms include staring blankly at the person, then running in the opposite direction, or lying down on the sofa.

DOG BED: any large soft, clean surface, such as the white bedspread in the guest room or the newly upholstered couch in the living room. 

DROOL: Is what you do when your persons have food and you don't. To do this properly you must sit as close as you can and look sad and let the drool fall to the floor, or better yet, on their laps. 

WHEELY BIN: A container which your neighbors put out once a week to test your ingenuity. You must stand on your hind legs and try to push the lid off with your beaky nose. If you do it right you are rewarded with margarine wrappers to shred, beef bones to consume and mouldy crusts of bread. 

GOOSE BUMP: A manoeuver to use as a last resort when the Regular Bump doesn't get the attention you require.....especially effective when combined with The Sniff. See above. 

LEAN: Every good dog's response to the command "Sit !", especially if your person is dressed for an evening out. Incredibly effective before black-tie events. 

LEASH: A strap which attaches to your collar, enabling you to lead your person where you want him/her to go. 

LOVE: Is a feeling of intense affection, given freely and without restriction. The best way you can show your love is to wag your tail. If you're lucky, a human will love you in return. 

SOFAS: Are to dogs like napkins are to people. After eating it is polite to run up and down the front of the sofa and wipe your whiskers and face clean. 

SNIFF: A social custom to use when you greet other dogs. Place your nose as close as you can to the other dogs  rear end and inhale deeply, repeat several times until your person makes you stop. 

THUNDER: This is a signal that the world is coming to an end. Humans remain amazingly calm during thunderstorms, so it is necessary to warn them of the danger by trembling uncontrollably, panting, rolling your eyes wildly, and following as close as you can to their heels. 

WASTEBASKET: This is a Deerhound toy filled with paper, envelopes, and old candy wrapper. When you get bored, turn over the basket and strew the papers all over the house until your person comes home.
