the dog is at my feet

I must be going; I have to leave now

Etymology: Old Irish saying. Purportedly from hunting dogs who are worn out, sitting on the feet of their owner to take them home. Some say Irish Setter was named because of this phrase.

Earliest known occurrence was by famous Irish author, Maria Edgeworth in her political essay, "Essay on Irish Bulls"

I've been standing here for donkey's years and the dog is at my feet, so I'm headin' home before the wife eats the heads off me.
