These days I’m hardly ever walking one of the dogs alone, because usually C’s there with the other one. So, when Mr. Charming slows down his car and yells "Put me on a leash!" to the amusement of his friends, the best I can manage is a reflexive, loud, "Ewwww."
Effective, sure, but I used to have much snappier retorts.
Hee! I’m sure “Eeeww!” got the point across, though. I mean, it works for third graders!
or you could reach down for your dog’s collar and say, “okay. come here.”
I think both our dogs are entirely too goofy for that to be effective, sadly. 🙂
I believe my ex-wife once used “Honey, you couldn’t afford my rates” with great effect. Naturally, your milage may vary.
