Poodle pretends to faint to protest mahjong playing owner

This is a news story from China. I don’t usually pay much attention to news stories from China because, well…they’re news stories from China and not always...shall we say, reliable.

Not to mention that The Poodle (and dog) blog is banned in China.

Again.

But I can just imagine this happening:

A woman in Dalian, Liaoning province, became addicted to playing mahjong after she retired in October and found that whenever she started playing, her Poodle would suddenly faint. Her friends finally discovered that the dog was only pretending to faint on cue whenever she started playing to protest the lack of attention.

She did decide to play mahjong less often and to walk the Poodle more.

Poodles can be very resourceful when they aren’t getting what they consider to be their full measure of attention.

Haha, smart poodle! Wonder if the dog fainted when she failed to play attention at other times? Or was her level of absorption in the game unique?

Banned in China? WHY?! How do you know you are banned?

Well, they are missed lots, then,

yes, one very clever poodle.... often a poodle's brilliance is misinterpreted as poodle-crazy, but even brilliant people are often considered crazy, so it's not that surprising!

That is HI-larious!

(how do you find out if you're banned in China?)

Now that's a smart dog!

I wonder if dog blogs are banned in China because they eat dogs and don't want people to begin thinking differently about their food?

Yes, my site is not shown there either.

Brilliant! I hope Georgia doesn't get wind of this trick!

That'll teach her not to ignore her smart poodle!

BTW The BLOG failed all 5 sectors. It is NOT accessible from within mainland China which is something I don't understand. My posts are always so accommodating to the ChiCom government ;-)

Dexter is so desperate for belly rubs..he will run out in front of people going to get mail at office..and throw himself in front of them and lay on his back with belly in the air..and will repeat and follow you all the way to the office..much to the amusement of the people watching but a pain in the ass if your that person trying to walk.
