It was a dismal¹ day, and at the local vets² surgery three dogs were discussing why they were there.

The first dog (a poodle) told the other two that he had chewed the master's favorite slippers³ once too often , and was going to be put to sleep for the deed.

The second dog (a Yorkshire terrier) told a similar story about a new suite⁴ of furniture. He too was to be put to sleep.

"What about you, what's your story?" said the poodle to the third dog, which happened to be a very large German Shepherd .

The German Shepherd proceeded to tell his story.

"My story starts when my pretty young mistress was taking a shower with the bathroom door open, and on seeing her in this state of undress, I barked very loudly. Startled, she then dropped the soap, and bent⁵ down to pick it up. Well, I don't know what came over me, but I could not control my sexual urges."

"I suppose you are going to be destroyed?" said the poodle.

"No" said the german Shepard. "I am in to have my claws clipped!"
