Frodo is my full brother – we have the same parents – but he
is 2 years older than me. I must
confess, I am sometimes a bit jealous of him – he is just so….good! When Paxton and I get it in our heads to go
“exploring” – Frodo will race to the edge of the woods and he then turns back to
stay with my human. She and Frodo have this
weird physic connection – he knows what she is thinking before she even makes a
move to do something. And he is incredibly easy to train – unless he gets
bored. Then he says, that’s quite enough
– and goes on to do something else. Like
retrieving for example. He will bring back
a fetch toy about 10 times and then he says “really, what is the point in
this,” and he heads for the door to go back in the house. He waits when he is told to wait and he
follows commands very well. He LOVES to
show off in Rally. I like to call him "the Professor."
Now while he is pretty close to being the “perfect” dog – he
does have his vices. He is a barker
extraordinaire – and he has actually taught this skill to me and Paxton! He also is a drama king when it comes to
grooming. I’ve said it before – he could
win an award portraying a dog that is being tortured. He is also a weird guy when it comes to his
feet. He does not appreciate you
touching them. So pedicure time is
always GREAT fun.
But he is smart – and pretty good looking – as he has proven
in the show rings. He also, thankfully
has been a very healthy boy – probably because he doesn’t eat inedible objects
– like Paxton does. Although he WAS
interested the other day in…well you remember.
EVERY now and then, Frodo and I will get into a “skirmish”
about something. It doesn’t happen often
– it’s a sibling rivalry thing. And of
course, I usually start it – being the youngest in the house. But Frodo will have none of my nonsense and
he quickly puts me in my place. He’s
like a world champion wrestler – he pins me – EVERY time – and the skirmish is
over. DONE.
And I concede defeat.
So Happy Birthday to my human’s first PON. He is a super role model – and if it weren’t
for him – I wouldn’t be here! My human
thought she was getting a clone of Frodo when she got me. WRONGO.
But let’s face it – life SHOULD be interesting – and I definitely fill
that bill! Cheers to ANOTHER PONtastic trip
around the sun big bro!
