So, it holds true even in dogs.
I regret ever teaching mom how to text message, for this is what I received Monday night while walking along Collins Ave. with Schwartz:
"Tessie is no longer a virgin. I think she is now Wally's wife."
Eww.
For those of you non-dog owners, when they, um, make love, somehow in the process of doing it doggie-style, they manage to turn themselves around and get stuck together. It's pretty gross to witness, but as I've had dogs all my life, and as the beloved, dear, departed Betsy was mated with my aunt and uncle's dog, I'd seen this biological phenomenon before.
My parents (don't ask why) have chosen not to spay either Tessie (left) or Stella (right).
Now, Tessie is 1 1/2 years old; Stella is 5. They both go in and out of heat. Wally is 11; that's 77 years old in human years people, which should mean he's hit Viagra time.
But nooo. Apparently, he's still going strong. Tessie (below) is in full-fledged heat.
And Wally has been going after her like Hef to a Bunny. But, here's the thing. Stella (below) too, has been in and out of heat for years now.
But Wally clearly prefers Tessie. Why? My theory? Natch, you know I have one: Even in the animal kingdom, men go after looks and youth. Perhaps it really is a biological imperative. Wally sure seems to prove this theory.
Now, prepare yourselves, for if you are not a dog person, you may not want to observe the below pictures of Wally and Tessie, ahem, caught in the act.
Wally got a little bashful/guilty around mama, while Tessie rather seemed to be enjoying the action.
