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?
