So, I had a clandestine phone call from my friend this afternoon. She called me from her freezing garage in whispered tones.
My friend's family is entertaining a new young man friend of one of their daughters. It's a male friend whose expressed some interest in their daughter. Though they've never met in person, they have spent a lot of time together via electronic means.
So the young man enters their home and niceties are exchanged as this is the first time everyone is meeting each other. They sit down.
Their humongous dog takes a leak on the young man's pants. In his nervousness he acts like he doesn't notice. They act like they don't notice. But as soon as he leaves the room they clean up the pee from the floor in a secretive way so that no one is the wiser.
Well, what would you do? How would you have handled that?
As for me, I'm waiting by my phone for the next clandestine phone call from the garage.

I would've yelled at the dog "STOP THAT .. you're supposed to pee on the SOFA, not the GUESTS!"
Might as well have some fun with it.
OH MY!!!! Reminds me of when my brother's dog got, um, shall we say "affectionate" with my homecoming date's leg. I was TOTALLY not a happy Southern Belle camper at that point.
So what would I have done? Definitely not pretended like I didn't see it happening...but then I tend to be a bit hyper so I'm sure I would have been screaming at the dog and then letting my very sweet husband clean it up!
Hmmmm...can't wait to hear "said person's" account! LOL!
BTW, I'm "said person's" friend from Mississippi who misses her SO bad and envies you getting to be her friend in live and in person.

Well... Actually... it turns out that the dog did NOT pee on Fly Boy. Benny used to piddle on people when he was little and hasn't done it in awhile but when Fly Boy walked in and was standing there petting him I noticed A LOT of wet around his feet. I got the dog and shoved him outside and everyone acted as if nothing had happened. I seriously thought Benny got so excited he peed on him. My husband got some paper towels and cleaned up the mess but he said he smelled the paper towels and it didn't smell like it so he thinks that Chris must have tracked in a bunch of snow.
Hmmmmmm... there's a possibility of a nickname for my husband... Pee Sniffer. I don't think he'll go for it.
Anyway, everything went okay. Oh! Fly Boy dumped half a bottle of dressing on his salad and my husband had to get him a new plate.
He told our daughter after we got home that he wants to see her again. Oy.
Don't you hate it when you read a comment and you've screwed it all up?
I revealed Fly Boy's name by accident.
By when we got home... I mean after we got home from dropping him off at the base. We did not allow our daughter to pick him up in her car.
I have no idea what I would do but I love the thought! This is why we have mini dachshunds - when they lift their leg to pee, they can't REACH your leg!!
