The thought of the lank-haired crone with the cattle-prod collar - too, too much!!<BR/>I so understand the hope embodied in the words on the hair dye box...not from personal experience, but from having been the instrument of my sister's transformation from blond-with-roots to Debbie Harry-channels-Phylis Diller wild haired horror. Yet she continues to beg me to do 'just a few highlights' for her.<BR/>We never learn - proof positive of the amazing resilience of the human spirit.

Besides if you really want to frighten her - and thereby kill two birds at a stone - you could buy a wig. The dog would be disoriented and so would everyone else, especially if you wore it back to front. Your neighbours might even be more sympathetic ---'poor dear, such a terrible thing, alopecia.' Lost all her hair. Given all her beautiful hairbrushes away. They came from her grandmother, you know.<BR/><BR/>Then they would understand and mutter - 'so devoted they are -'er and 'er dog.' And even Lolly would then need to find a new sense of purpose for fear of a similar dreadful metamorphosis.Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561630962952236138.post-38828686558968365582008-07-31T13:50:00.000+01:002008-07-31T13:50:00.000+01:00Love the labels to this post Milla...

He strapped the collar to the mutt, fired up the Handycam, sent the dog into the field to worry a sheep, then pressed the button. 'Yip!' the dog leapt bodily a full three feet into the air. He'd started the power off at 10, not 1. Oops. I'm dying to see that clip.

Am v tempted by thought of zapping collar, v expensive though they are, and you have to kind of be sure they're going to do the trick to part with such dosh. Even more tempted since I was supposed to be interviewing someone on a mobile phone in Spain last week when Brown Dog chose his moment to launch himself bodily on our tall and singularly clattery Brabantia bin, which rolled round and round the kitchen noisily while I tried to pretend nothing at all was happening. Have now to make up contents of interview and hope against hope not to be sued for misrepresentation. Do you think the collar might work for such an eventuality?
