So many ways to become embarrassed

It has occurred to me today that there are lots of ways to become embarrassed. Some are obvious (walking out of the bathroom with toilet paper on your shoe, for example), and some are more subtle, but once they hit you they come with some force.

Picture, for instance, that you have a puppy. For the sake of argument, you've called her Lucy. This 'Lucy' is very fond of the ol' belly rub. She gets on her back and squirms around to give you full access to her belly for a nice, good rub. You may say it's one of her favorite things. So one belly rubbing session about a week ago (let's say), as she's all sprawled out for rubbing, you notice a little blister on her bits. You think it is strange but doesn't seem to bother her so you decide to give it some time to heal before having it checked out. A week goes by, and it's still there and perhaps even a little bigger, so you phone the vet. You take her in for it to get checked out, and the vet asks what the problem is. You say there is a blister on her bits, she starts talking to Lucy and examining her, and she says to Lucy that she has a 'very thorough mom (dad, if you, reader, are male).' For a moment you a proud of yourself for being thorough, and you smile politely. The moment passes and you realize with horror that she does not know HOW you discovered the blister, that it had nothing to do with meticulous inspection of her bits for whatever reason, but was instead casually noticed during an innocent belly rub. You see, it's not easy for the vet to see the blister because Lucy is excited and not laying down, and certainly not laying down on her back. The vet has to hold her up by her front paws and bend down to see it, and even then it's not the obvious because her legs are together. But alas, it is too late to explain yourself, and the more seconds that pass without you correcting her 'thoroughness' comment, the odder it would be to bring it up or explain it away. So you're left there, looking guilty and feeling like a doggie pervert.
