A PONderson Cooper interview...


Hi everyone.  It’s PONderson Cooper from PNN (PON News Network) and today I will interview my “other brother” – Paxton, the Bernese Mountain Dog.

Viktor:  Hello Paxton, how are you today.

Paxton:  Frodo told me that I will get extra biscuits if I do this interview.  Is that correct?  And DON’T call yourself PONderson Cooper.

Viktor:  Yeah. Yeah.  Now please just answer my questions…

Paxton:  Fire away bro.

Viktor:  So what is it like to be a Bernese Mountain Dog?

Paxton:  What an interesting question….Well, I’ve never been a Chihuahua or a PON – so it’s not like I can make a comparison.  Mind you I LIVE with you two PONs so I guess I DO have something to compare.  Being in the minority in this house is QUITE a unique experience…

Viktor:  Just tell me what Bernese Mountain Dogs are like, OK?  Can you do that?

Paxton:  Chill bro.  OK, it’s GREAT to be a Bernese Mountain Dog.  We are big, we like people and other dogs, we like to eat – all kinds of things – we like drafting…

Viktor:  Drafting?  Does that have something to do with beer?

Paxton:  No bro.  Drafting is pulling a cart.

Viktor:  Cool!   And why do you draft?

Paxton:  We were originally farm dogs.  We would pull carts to the market.  And we would guard our farms and drive cattle.

Viktor:  YOU have a drivers license??!!!!  What kind of car do you have?!!!!  Can you take me to the mall later?

Paxton:  Not THAT kind of driving bro.  Driving as in moving cattle around.

Viktor:  You move cattle?!  I move sheep!  I probably could move cattle – actually ANYTHING that sees ME coming would move.   Away.  Fast. 

Paxton:  I thought this interview was supposed to be about ME.

Viktor:  Oh right. So.  You like to go in the lake.  Why do you do that?

Paxton:  That’s a simple one.  To get away from you and Frodo.   You guys don’t like the water.  So I walk out a short distance in the water and sit on a big rock.  And you two stand on the shore, watching me.  And you won’t come out there.  It’s my Zen place.

Viktor:  OK.  So.  What’s it like to live with two PONs? 

Paxton:  Seriously?  You want to know?  Well let’s just put it this way – it’s a good thing I have a SUPER temperament.  When Frodo came along, I was quite happy – he’s a quiet, low key kind of guy.  Life was good.  And then….you came along….and life has never been the same…

Viktor:  So I am a life-changer!

Paxton: That’s one way of putting it…But I have managed to train you to help me shred things – and we DID have that day that we destroyed the dog bed.  You started it and I helped.

Viktor:  No.  I think YOU started it and I helped.

Paxton:  Whatever.  Good times…

Viktor:  Can I lick your face now?

Paxton:  No.  Just pass the biscuits.
