Day 55: It's a dogs life...
Posted by Simon at July 20, 2005 02:10 PM
Housemates have failed this week's Dog Show task, and will only receive a very basic shopping budget next week...
...however the news wasn't made known to the housemates until they'd completed their Day 3 challenge, which saw all four owners and their dogs completing an obstacle course in the garden.
The dogs had to weave between some poles, pick a bone out of a dog bowl, go over a sea-saw, crawl through a tunnel of dog litter, stand on a stage, and then crawl through an arch with water jets squirting them before placing their bone in a container.
It all seemed to prove a little too much for Makosi though, who was being guided pretty badly by Derek (who seemed to think counting upwards helped "one more step, two more, three more"... yeh, great one Derek!) and wasn't being very sympathetic to Makosi, especially after she started to burst out crying when she had to climb in the dog bowl and find the bone.
The sobbing continued for the rest of her way around the obstacle course, and even after she'd finished the blubbering kept on coming, almost as if she felt she'd crawled through real dog mess or something... [video]
Needless to say that the news of them failing the task just a couple of minutes later wasn't the news housemates were really looking for.
