If ever I desire to give my late , unlamented sister - in - jurisprudence — she ’s not dead , she ’s just not my baby - in - natural law any more — a present ( other than a punch in the chop ) then I require search no further than the Hot Dog Temperature Alert system for car . set up it , turn it on , and if the temperature rises above a predetermined one , then the windows roll down mechanically , the French horn voice and a man in uniform come along as if by magic with a red raging poker that he ram up your stern . Okay , so I made that last bit up , but here ’s a account about my late ( I care ) unlamented sister - in - law that you might enjoy .
A few years ago , when she and my brother ’s relationship was in its infancy , and she just seven months fraught , they went off to an agricultural show . As you do . It was a live day and they impart the three andiron they own in the back of their SUV . On their return to the car several hr later , they found a window demolish and no mutts .
“ A dognapping ! ” they shrieked , rush along it ( or , in her case , waddling ) to the information collapsible shelter as cursorily as they could . On arrival , they had their details take , including names , address and license plates . The valet on the front desk , after casting a know coup d’oeil at his colleagues , get off them off to the SPCA tent .
They got there to feel the three dogs lounge about about behind three very stern - look cleaning woman d’un certain age who inform my brother and his atrocious , moustachioed girlfiend ( sic ) that , no , the heel had not been stolen , that the SPCA had received several calls from concerned show visitors that they had seen three very unhappy - looking mutts barking in the back of a steamed - up car , and so their military officer had broken a window and liberate the Canis familiaris from their prison - cum - sauna .
And the irony of all of this ? My dear demented X - sister - in - law has a Ph . D from Oxford University in Animal Behaviorism . Her specialist subject is , plainly , the tempestuous dogs of Zimbabwe . Anyway , I think that $ 366.45 is too much for a present for someone you ’re not very stabbing on .
