Mixed Practice

A phone call.
Owner: Help, I just got home, and my dogs are stuck!
Me: Okay, where are they stuck?
Owner: Like.. together! They're stuck together! From their bottoms!
Me: Right.. do you have a male and a female?
Owner: Yes...
Me: Sounds like they're tied...
Owner: Oh no! Is it bad?
Me: Uh... depends. It means they're mating.
Owner: No, there's no way they can be mating. That's physically impossible.
Me: Are they desexed?
Owner: Oh no no! I mean they're brother and sister!
