The Tail Is Not Even Wagging

Today at the library, I was looking at books while Isaac lay quietly at my feet.

All of a sudden, this woman near us gasped and said "I didn't even realize there was a dog there!"

And, now that she realized there was a dog, there, she began baby-talking to him. Isaac just lay there quietly, ignoring her.

Finally she said, "Well. The tail is not even wagging."

I sighed and said "That's because he is working. He's not supposed to socialize when he's working."

She said "Oh. Oh. well, I guess I will stop talking to him then."

Duh.
