Today, we learnt some canine-related vocab because of Julian and Judith's latest addition to the family, Bonnie.

remuer la queue = wag the tail
aboyer = bark
faire pipi = to wee
faire caca = to poop
faire ses besoins = to do one's 'business' (literally attend to one's needs)
avoir l'air = to seem, e.g. elle a l'air content = she seems happy
If you trawl the websites (how sad am I?), the French are as concerned as we are about 'la crotte du chien' (doggy doo doos) in the street. For this reason, many parks have 'canisites' or 'sani chiens', which are specially designated areas for your dog to do his business.
You can be fined anything from 60 to 250€ if your dog does his 'besoins' in the wrong place!
On the Animal front Andy made a CATaclysmic remark that shocked Linda, He said that he did not particularly like cats. This to Linda was CATastrophic as she thought he did. Linda has has had to re-CATagorise Andy which has CATapulted him downwards in her estimation. This caused Andy to enter a CATalepsy state that needed a CATalyst to bring him round. It apears that his garden is a CATchment aera for them and they spend their nights CATerwauling there. The quetioning he received was of a CATechismic scale more suited to the highest CAThedral. He was given the choice:- to live in the CATacombs of despair or be Tea Monitor and CATer for the class. He promised not to repliCATe such distruption again and to plaCATe Linda.

RépondreSupprimerI'm with you Andy. I can't understand why there is all this fuss about cats - good for chasing, that's all!
