Eddie, my usually much-adored fox red Labrador, has been an absolute sodding penis for the last few days.
Our neighbours have a really cute young bitch who’s currently on heat, and Eddie has picked up her scent on the wind like some kind of sexy Bisto waft, and has been wandering around the house restless and whimpering like a 15-year-old boy who’s just realised the hottest girl in school has moved to his street.
Yesterday, they told us he’d been sneaking out of our garden and waiting by their gate.
Oh! The shame of having a sex-pest in the family!
To make matters worse, she’s much smaller than him.
It’s the same level of wrongness as The Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk shagging Cinderella.
Goodness knows what kind of canine Karma Sutra position they’d need to adopt to get their bits lined up, but traditional doggy style certainly wouldn't cut it.
However, it doesn’t seem to put him off.
This is the face I’m currently looking at:
“Mummy, seriously, if I can’t be with her just hang me, or poison my food or something, because life is simply not worth living. I can smell her, I can hear her calling to me. This is nature at work, woman. We need to make puppies and you are standing in our way. If you aren’t willing to let me fulfil my doggy destiny then kill me now, and put an end to this torture…I simply cannot live without her! I’ve never dribbled like this about bitch before…”
Seeing such passion in action reminds me of how we don’t need willpower or motivation when we’re focused on doing something (or someone!) we love.
All the energy and drive we need is right there for the right project - we simply need to identify where our passion lies and move in that direction.
If you’re feeling stuck or unmotivated right now, it could be you’re simply pointing in the wrong direction.
