We love visitors. Really.


How to open the jaws of a PON who has just discovered some unsavory tidbit on the roadside…  My human’s friend had this problem the other day….



My human's friend, and our buddy, is still visiting for a few more weeks and we have trained him very well.  He gets us treats on command, takes us out when we want (even though we don’t REALLY need to go out) and we have convinced him it is FINE for us to go on the furniture.  All of course when our human is NOT home.



The other day he decided to take Frodo and I for a quick walk up the road.  It seems there had been some workmen doing some paving work, just before we took our walk.  And one of them must have been a litterbug – someone threw out a candy bar.  Which of COURSE I spotted.  And grabbed.



My human’s friend tried desperately to pry my mouth open.  He blew on my nose. Tugged at the tiny piece of paper that was hanging out the side of my mouth and BEGGED me to open up.  I didn’t even move a muscle – my jaw was CLENCHED shut.  After what seemed like minutes – but was probably more like 20 seconds, he tickled my nose and I dropped the treasure.  He grabbed it and in a moment of relief tossed the bar into the woods.  In the meantime, Frodo began to sniff the ground and I IMMEDIATELY bounced on him – this was MY bounty.  In a FLASH, Frodo pinned me on my back and yelled at me.  The wrestling match was over before it began.  I quickly conceded defeat.



My human’s friend was exhausted by the time we got back home.  I think it was fine – he needed the exercise and the adrenaline rush.  It’s good for him. 



I think he is counting the days until he goes home. But I DO think he will miss us.  How could he not?  Where else can you get this kind of entertainment on a daily basis?
