Casting the spell

I hurt my back on Friday so can't walk MP on her normal lead. I produced the 'gentle leader' and she ran away into the lounge. She absolutely hates it, but it makes her more predictable when I walk her! Once on, she stands absolutely motionless, sucks in her body to make herself look super-skinny and pathetic, then dribbles in small pools on the floor. On heading out the door, she heads straight into the bush to try and rub it off.
But don't be fooled.... as soon as it's off, she's quickly the fly wee menace again!
