Aware of the attention he was beginning to attract, Jim decided perhaps a walk along the beach was in order, and once Poochy was safely belted into the passenger seat he made the short journey to the coast.....Poochy by this time was getting fed up.....she couldn't see anything except the interior of the car......normally she liked to put her little paws on the dash and look for the Malibu 'talent'.......pedigree Mutts being walked by pedigee mutts she thought to herself.....
Once the car came to a halt Jim grabbed the papoose and strapped it to his chest.......This would surely impress all the bikini clad babes........
And, as expected a couple of girls, giggling hysterically, and shoving each other, as if to throw one another into the lions den, sauntered over...
A few awkward moments passed until Jim broke the ice with 'how you doing' and a smile.....
One of the girls immediately began waxing lyrical about loving his work etc but the other just stood transfixed..........
'That baby has awfully hairy legs' she exclaimed.........Poochy wasn't amused, 100 degree temperatures , her face flat up against Jims sweating body and now someone was laughing at her!...
Jim chuckled.......and turned so she could see the grumpy little mutt...
'oh how cute' she gushed...........a little dog....with plaster casts on it's legs......Both girls melted into the baby talk reserved for all baby creatures..........
A hand went in to pat Poochy..........'Grrrr' Poochy thought....i'm roasting,grumpy, hungry and i need a pee..........'leave me alone'.....
Jim was quite taken with their attention towards his little friend.....'do you want to hold her' he said to the primary 'gusher'......'wow , yes please'.....and into her open arms a sweaty grumpy dog was placed....
Holding Poochy the girl began dancing aroung, swinging from hight to low, round and round...........'awe jeez, put me down.....i feel terrible' the dog thought.........
'hey you're really good with Poochy, a real natural, i bet you're good with kids...right?'....Jim said hopefully......'why don't you give me your number , perhaps we can go out sometime'.........At this point the girl went crazy with Poochy, trying to impress Jim........round and round they whirled.............'slow down' said her friend, i'm not sure the dog likes it.........'awe, you're just jealous she called out' ...... As Jim placed his hand on the girls shoulder there was a sudden and high pitched squeal from her throat ....
"Maaaaaan... I"M GOOD!!!!!!'

....Jim thought to himself....' no problems babe we can ...........
"oh my god, your bloody dog has just peed down my Versace kaftan'.........sure enough Poochy had chosen that moment to 'go'........
At that point the girl took her hand sharply down over Poochys face stunning her.......she started to whimper..........
Grabbing the papoose and little dog, Jim turned to the girl and said 'no, i don't want the number of anyone who can be mean to a little animal, especially when it's hurt.'......clearly, the girl was vain and shallow despite her beauty.......
Pulling Poochy from the papoose he cradled her like a baby and stroked her head........
The little dog snuggled into his safe arms........'Poochy , poochy , poochy.......what am i going to do with you?' he chuckled softly to himself........................His little friend began to snore........
