Here goes.

Step 1. Ask Shaun to meet you at a discrete, dog-friendly location. Preferably in Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur.

Step 2. Ask Shaun to bring Leo and Russell (The Sheves' two dogs)

Shaun might resist, so Step 0 should be buy a bowl "Jojo's Lat Jiu Pan Mee minus the meat, minus the shrimp chilli, minus the anchovies" and use it to bribe Shaun. (Because we're vegetarian)

Step 3. Give Shaun the bribe-worthy food. Shaun will go back to get the dogs.

Step 4. Exchange the pan mee for the dogs. Make sure you return them.

Step 5. Look Russell deep in the eyes. If he's comfortable, he will sit comfortably on your lap.

Step 6. Order a dog treat for Russell.

Step 7. Put Russell on the floor to enjoy his treat. Forget about him, he's forgetful.

Step 8. Get Leo and give him a treat too so that he will stop scratching at you and begging to go down

Step 9. Check if Shaun has finished his pan mee. You may need to get him a fruit beverage if he's done. Warning: he eats very fast.

Step 10. When Leo is done with his treat, whisper in his ear, "What's Mommy contact" and watch for his reaction.

Step 11. Realize that dogs don't talk.

Step 12. Realize that Shaun thinks you're a complete nutter.

Step 13. Realize you actually like the dogs

Step 14. Realize you don't know what you're reading.

Step 15. Realize Evelyn made you spend 3 minutes of your time reading and she's had her fun and you can find her email just about anywhere.

But if you're not the resourceful type,

And yes, Evelyn had to choose the most dopey photo of her dogs. Just for kicks.
