    Dog hates Bogart

    My niece, Christina the veterinary technician, stopped by today with her Tibetan Spaniel, Patron, and she mentioned while watching a movie on TV that one of her favorite films is "Casablanca."
    It's one of my favorites, too, so I immediately launched into my vocal impression of Humphrey Bogart with one of his classic lines from the film.
    Gendarme: "Why did you come here to Casablanca?"
    Bogie: "I came for the water."
    Gendarme: "There is no water here. You are in a desert."
    Bogie: "I was misinformed."
    Patron bared his teeth when I uttered those lines; he didn't like it when I changed my voice to resemble Bogart's. I switched back to normal and he immediately retracted his teeth. I switched the Bogie back on and he snarled once again.
    I don't know what that dog has against Humphrey Bogart, but it's a good thing I didn't do my impression of Jabba the Hut!
