Well, brother Frodo did it. Two trials and two passing scores and two BIG ribbons. He is my idol. Both judges said they had never judged a PON before. They told my human they were impressed! Go figure. I guess he is smarter than I thought. But THEN – not only did he get to compete – he got to be on “display” for a thing called “Meet the Breed.” Now when I found that out, I got really annoyed. That’s MY thing! I did that at the last show. What is Mr. UN-sociable-I-bark-at-every-neighbor doing in such an OBVIOUSLY sociable activity? I’m the social butterfly.
When he and my human got home – both of them wanted to relax for a few minutes. But not me. Come ON. I was home with Bucket Head all day – I wanted to DO something. I paced. I squeaked. I repeatedly licked and sniffed Frodo – even after my human said I should stop. My human wanted to relax for just a FEW minutes. But I got my way. She couldn’t stand the pacing. I got to do MY all time favorite thing. Retrieving.
Hey. I think we figured out why Paxton gets the soupy poops. Or I think we did. Actually, my human figured this one out. You see, when Paxton goes out on the deck, he is like a vacuum cleaner. He sucks up EVERY dried, rotting, moldy leaf that has blown on the deck – and any other inedible organic thing he can find. So now my human has to check the deck when we go out there, pick up every leaf – and make sure the thing is totally clear. Going to be GREAT fun when we are fully into fall. THIS I have to watch.
Have a good one! I better go practice some obedience so I can be in the next show. But then, I’m ALWAYS obedient – right?
