She had a large house and believed that she could keep the two dogs apart. However, as she was drifting off to sleep she heard awful howling and
moaning sounds.
She rushed downstairs and found the dogs locked together in obvious pain
and unable to disengage, as so frequently happens when dogs mate. Unable
to separate them, and perplexed as to what to do next, although it was
late, she called the vet, who answered in a very grumpy voice. After she explained the problem to him, the vet said,
"Hang up the phone and place it down alongside the dogs. I will then call
you back and the noise of the ringing will make the male lose his erection
and he will be able to withdraw."
" Do you think that will work ? " she asked.
