My mother had a dog, a cairn terrier, that she often took with her and when I went along it was my job to watch the dog. I remember one time in a department store my mother went her way and I and the dog went our way. I wasn't paying much attention to the dog, she was on a leash. I was looking at something but then when I looked down I saw that the dog had urinated on the floor; there was a yellow puddle. We made a hasty exit from the store.
I remember once when I was walking the dog and saw a large dog was approaching. I thought my mom's dog would want to fight so I stooped down to pick her up but to my amazement she met me half-way up in the air!
