Good day.
Yes – I am still on my blog-cation but my human just sent me a text –
actually the text was for Frodo. It
seems my human has entered Frodo in some kind of dog show – doing something
called “Rally Excellent.” Not “Rally
Mediocre” – that would be more my speed.
No. Frodo gets to try for
something called “excellent.” And now my human is beginning to panic since we
have done no “official” training in months.
Now THIS should be entertaining.
I envision LOTS of treats for Frodo when she gets home. Pax and I will just watch.
Good thing this rally thing doesn’t involve
walking on a leash on a trail. Or
demonstrating any kind of Lassie-like behavior.
What do I mean? Well you know –
Lassie was a famous collie – who could do anything and was especially good at
saving people if they were in trouble.
Us PONs? Not so good at
channeling inner Lassie. For example,
last week while my human was walking Frodo and I on the trail one morning, she
tripped and fell FLAT on her face on the trail.
She spontaneously let go of our leashes.
She lay there for a second and surmised that that were no SHARP pains –
like the time she fell and broke her wrist.
So she slowly got up. All the
time Frodo and I were happily traveling along on the trail. We didn’t give her a second look. She mumbled that we had no Lassie-like instincts
in our DNA. But she was wrong. We knew she was OK. So why make a big deal of it? Kind of like when a kid trips and falls. If the parents get all stressed and “oooooo
and awwwww” – the kid cries more. But if
the parents check them out and determine everything is OK, and they don’t get
all upset, the kid is quickly better.
That’s what Frodo and I did. We
knew she was fine. If she HAD been
injured, one of us would have stayed with her, while the other one ran for
help. Suuuuuuure we would…..
OK.
That’s the update for today. It’s
HOT here. Very hot. But we’re enjoying
our time with the sitter. And still
eyeing the screen door…
Have a good one!
