Polly

[den]

My big, brave blue cattle dog has a mortal fear of the toaster. I always wondered why she didn't like coming inside in the mornings and, when she did, she hid under the computer in the office.

Polly will guard the house and attack any monster that invades, but the soft "ka-chunk" of toast popping leaves her a shivering wreck.

Feed her some buttered toast afterward and see what she does *then*:D.
And whatever you do, don't show her *this*:

Dr Penfield, I smell burnt toast!

It's not the 'ka-chunk!', it's the aura of burnt toast that's giving your dog fits.

that explains a lot ... Polly's really canadian!


I wonder if she'd laugh at the "thanks showcase" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntbpkEGul_U) ads as well ?

Sit her up in front of the monitor and see. *grin*

Oh my god! Someone who remembers the burnt toast ad!

The ad was more of a refresher. Both my parents work at the Montreal Neurological Institute (and Royal Vic and McGill).

Oh. But, it's a _part of our heritage_!

Fair enough; that's a good reason to know about it. :)
