Our Dogs the Perverts

What is it about the bathroom that causes our 2 dogs such interest? I would have to say that at least 95% of the time I have at least one, and often both of them in there with me while I'm using the toilet. It's uncomfortable, really. I look down, and there's these EYES looking at me. Why? What fascination can they possibly gain from it? One might say, "Well, shut the door." It has no effect. Honey has learned some Houdini trick and opens the door and parades on in anyway. It's quite embarrassing to have friends over and have her invade their privacy. In the mornings, when I first get up, Honey, Willie and I generally have what I fondly refer to as "toilet time." I stagger on in there and they run on in, bumping their head against my legs, looking up at me adoringly, wagging their tails like crazy, waiting for me to pet them, which I normally will do. Then the three of us will just huddle in the bathroom while I'm on the toilet. Both of them oblivous to whatever else that I might be doing.

Besides my time on the toilet, it's also inevitable that I am visited when I am in the bathroom brushing my hair, teeth or whatever else one does while in there.

Now that I think of it, it's just Willie that's the pervert. Honey just sort of meanders in to make sure that nothing exciting is going on that she might be missing, but with Willie it's a duty and an obsession. Of course, this is the same dog that insists on licking the floor, barking in the middle of the night for no reason and that is strangely drawn to the smell of my black pants.
