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.
