   One of my favorite old-timey cliches. Throwing a coat over a puddle only ever happened in plays lampooning the rich. Anytime someone tells me that chivalry is dead, I always say, “And women killed it. Now quit complaining grandma, you only have another half mile before your stop.” 🙂

   I think throwing a jacket over the head of an enraged poodle could be a new extreme sport. Or at least a new segment in the next ‘Jackass’ movie.

     Actually, speaking from personal experience, that could be what SAVES your tush! BUT…. (or “BUTT”, hehe) the jacket has to successfully cover the dogs head, not be caught in the dogs mouth. It may give you an extra moment to get out of reach. And, your jacket would be a goner, of course! (Empty those pockets 🙂 )

     Oh, and a standard poodle is SMART! Not the best breed to try and outwit.

     So, there you go! Just make sure EVERYTHING IS PERFECT, and it’ll work fiiiiine. Easy peasy.
