My crazy human

Great.  She’s at it again.  It never fails – my human sees someone doing something with their dog, and she wants to try it…

The other day, she went to something called a Tattoo.  No – she didn’t GET a tattoo – a Tattoo is a military “performance” which involves military bands and marching.  There is a BIG one here in Nova Scotia – and it includes lots of bagpipes.  My human isn’t quite sure WHAT we would do if we heard a bagpipe.  Chances are, our resident soloist, Frodo would join in with some singing  - while Pax and I would probably run.  It would be interesting.  But I digress.

So my human went to see the big Tattoo the other day – which had ALL kinds of performances (not just marching bands) from countries all around the world. I hear it is quite the spectacle.  Anyway, during intermission, there was a demonstration by a local K9 Police dog and his handler.  It SEEMS this dog can differentiate colors – and he demonstrated that he could.   So you guessed it – my human thinks I should try to do this. And she came home with this “great idea.”  I think someone needs to remind her about those crazy expensive interactive dog toys that she bought at Christmas.  The ones that Paxton tried to eat, and Frodo tried to claw apart.  I was the interactive dog toy superstar – relatively speaking.  But we never quite mastered the first toy – so the other two are collecting dust in the closet.  Does she SERIOUSLY think she can train any of us to differentiate colors? 

Honestly, I love her – but this woman comes up with the craziest ideas sometimes.  Next thing you know, she’ll want to start writing her own blog!
