It's terribly important to clean up dog mess. I hate it when people don't bother. For now, Gaspard is preoccupied with a bodily function of a rather different nature. As he pants with lust, a horrified Norfolk terrier breaks the canine speed record as it scuttles into the distance. Gaspard pays no attention, possibly because he has a creeping erection.
Some guys get horny, some dogs get horny.
According to the renowned dog guru Roger Mugford, Vanessa-Mae's friends need not forgo fragrances for ever, as Gaspard will almost certainly grow out of his libidinous phase. Because shar-peis were bred as ceremonial fighting dogs, some of the males are prone to be aggressive towards other dogs. Mugford, who runs training classes in Surrey, advises owners to throw a tin can containing stones on to the ground near a misbehaving dog to distract the animal. I certainly wouldn't recommend thwacking him with a mobile phone. Squirting him with a water pistol would be preferable.
