Other dogs...and a Vik-Advisor

Do you know that besides Frodo, Paxton and yours truly – we have other dogs in our house? Dozens.  All shapes and sizes.  Our human is a collector of all things dog.  Old things. There are a china dogs and plaster dogs and a bunch of carved wooden dogs.  One of which SHE carved when she was a girl.  It even has some teeth marks in it from a previous canine kid.  After THAT episode, all the wooden dogs are kept in a glass case – for their own safety!

For Christmas, some friends bought her another carved dog for her collection.  So went she went to put the new addition in the case with the other carved dogs – she looked at one in particular – and it made her smile.

This dog is extra special, because it was carved by my human’s father – many, many years ago.  Her father is now at the Rainbow Bridge – throwing balls for  my human’s dogs – and her parents’ dogs who went there years ago.  But when my human looked at this dog, she started thinking how interesting life is.   Her father carved this dog for her years and years ago.  LONG before she ever even THOUGHT about getting a PON.  Yet this dog bears a strong resemblance to a PON… how cool is that?

The other dogs in our household – are all VERY well behaved.  You tell them to “stay” and they do.  And they don’t eat much either!  And grooming is a snap – you just need a dust cloth.

Speaking of grooming – my human is HOOKED on a product that she used on Frodo and me when we had our Christmas baths – a Detangle conditioning spray by Isle of Dogs.  Catchy name.  Sounds Scottish. https://www.iodogs.com/default.aspx    It’s actually a US company – but the products started from some formulas used by a chemist in the UK.  Anyway, it’s kinda pricey stuff– but boy, oh boy – it keeps our coats fresh and from getting matty.  My coat is different from Frodo’s – I’m the easy kid to groom.  With Frodo – all you have to do is look at him and you can see mats forming.  But since we started using this product – well the torture of grooming is MUCH more bearable.  And neither of us has as many mats!!!! I give this product 4.5 PAWS.   

So…while we’re not as well-behaved as the other dogs in our house – and our grooming requires a BIT more time –  we ARE so much more entertaining.  And really, none of those other dogs has his own blog!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.  I will!
