Canine meeting?

Crippled Monkey would like to apologise to all Ouch readers for the fact that I find the following headline funny: Hearing Dogs Attend Seminar. Crippled Monkey would like to apologise for getting a hilarious mental image of a bunch of dogs having a meeting - because their deaf and hard of hearing owners came along too, apparently. Crippled Monkey is particularly ashamed of himself, because he's heard all the jokes from non-disabled people thinking they're oh so funny when they tell that one about assistance dogs 'talking' to each other when they meet in the street.

Shame on me. I'm so embarrassed.

Love it! Maybe they should have a different one, where assistance dogs for Bind and partially sighted owners have a seminar!!! What do you think of that! How funny would that be! I can imagine that, where they all meet up!

Katie's idea would be even funnier if David Blunkett's dog attended. I bet she's seen some things
