"THAT'S THE FUNNIEST DOG I'VE EVER SEEN"

It was Lyle's second birthday and we had gone to Hendry's Beach to walk and watch the sunset. Being "the Dog Beach" that it is, we always meet lots of dogs there...every breed imaginable. The most unique one this day was an obese Basset Hound. He didn't look particulary old, but he had that fat and not-very-mobile look to him that obese dogs have.

Lyle and I were walking west while the Basset Hound was waddling east towards us. He saw Lyle and got really excited and started running--well, trying to run--towards us. I don't think I'd ever seen anything so hillarious, but I was civilized enough to hold my laughter in.

At this point the Basset's owner saw Lyle and said,

"That's the funniest dog I've ever seen!"

At this point I decided I wasn't quite as civilized anymore and muttered,

"Well at least my dog can run!"

The nerve of some people!
