Shower barking

We pulled THE best joke on our human yesterday…. Well.  Frodo did.

I have written before about how we like to bark as soon as she steps into the shower.  And she never knows if the bark is about something important  - like bunnies in the yard, or about something less important – like a propane delivery truck that is destroying our driveway.

Anyway.  On Friday, my human’s friend left to go to the gym – and my human went to get in the shower before work.  All of us had nice long walks – and our breakfast before this. 

She stepped in the shower and Frodo started barking.  Woof.  Woof.  Woof.  Woof.  My human figured he was just playing around.  Woof.  Woof.  Woof.  She shouted “Frodo BE QUIET.”   As IF that would work.  Woof.  Woof.  Woof.  And then my human started thinking.  Frodo likes to be a tattletale.  Maybe he was barking about something that either Paxton or I were doing.  “Nah” she said to herself.  Woof.  Woof.  Woof.  Woofwoofwoofwoof.  Hmmm…..she thought.  This IS odd.  Woof. Woof. Woof. Frodo continued.  At which point my human began to panic.  SOMETHING MUST be wrong.  WHAT could Paxton have?  Her laptop?  Where was her cell phone?  What else could we have?  Woof.  Woof.  Woof.

Picture a human bursting out of the shower, grabbing a towel and running down the hall to see what mischief one of us had created!!!!  And guess what?  She rushed into the room.  And found two dogs half asleep – and Frodo just standing in the middle of the room.  And he just LOOKED at her.  Gotcha!

She could have strangled Frodo – but at the same time was soooooooo relieved that we had not destroyed anything. Back she went to the shower.

Good one Frodo.  Paws up.  PON 1.  Human 0.  Well done! 

As I always say – never a dull moment in OUR house!
