It was around 11:00 PM on a stormy night when Dr. Edberg, the local vet,
got a phone call.

Answering the phone, he found a panicky old lady at the other end who
shrieked, "Doc, I can't get my two doggies apart. They've gone crazy.
One is trying to get on top of the other. What do I do?"

"Try hitting them with a stick," the good doctor replied.

"But, I did that, they just carried on," the old woman cried.

"Well, why don't you pour some cold water on 'em. That should surely
cool them," the Doctor tried again.

"I tried that too, they simply shuffled away under the bed and carried
on. Please, doc, tell me what to do!" the woman wailed.

"Well (sigh!), put the phone down and take it to them. I'll call them
up and we'll see if that separates them," the vet suggested.

"Do you think that'll work?" the woman asked, obviously perplexed.

"Well, it sure did in my case," the vet replied.
