What makes you laugh about your pet?

[Betty Boop]

We had a springer called Aramis. When we moved house we'd been told the place was haunted. Whenever Aramis sat in a certain place beside the fire he would yelp and run off.
Certain people became convinced that the dog was being pinched by a ghost . I never did admit to the fact that whilst doing the housework one day I discovered a huge tack sticking up in the exact spot the dog liked to sit, obviously I removed it.
I never told anyone though, although I did say I had 'cleansed the room of all spirits' they still think there was a pinching ghost
