January 30.
Oh the irony. According to the
crazy calendar – there are several “holidays” today – and BOTH of them have
significance with relation to yesterday’s birthday boy. Today is National Escape Day AND Yodel for
Your Neighbors Day. BOTH of these
“holidays” should have fallen on the 29th to coincide with PONdini’s
birthday.
Frodo can escape from ANYTHING. I kid you not. There are loads of tales of the great Escape
Artist. For example, when he was a
puppy, and he was left in a HUGE, HEAVY X-pen, he figured out how to move the
whole pen across the room, close to the sofa – so he could climb out, onto the
sofa – and FREEDOM. There are tales of
him chewing through 10 bungee cords to escape from a run made of chain
link. Leaving behind me and Paxton – who
couldn’t fit through the small opening in the gate. You know how mice can fit through even the
TINIEST of openings? Well Frodo, the
Professor, must be part mouse. I wish he
would teach me his tricks – but he refuses to show me. Besides, I’m just not as limber as he
is. I know he is older – but that guy is
like Gumby – he can move any which way.
And as for yodeling – we already KNOW he
masters THIS skill as well. And not JUST
for the direct neighbors – but anyone within a 5 mile radius. He thinks we enjoy his “singing.” And we DO try to imitate him – but he wins –
his vocal range is MUCH better than ours.
My human has no idea about the yodeling
that goes on when she is not here. And
speaking of that – she just saw the trailer for a movie that it is coming out
this summer. She’s not a HUGE animated
movie person – but this is one movie she definitely wants to see! Check out this trailer:
Well I think it’s time to go and stare at
my human – because it IS the weekend!
She actually got home from work a BIT early yesterday – because we were
having another “snow event.” We were so
excited to see her – we had been waiting patiently at the door from the moment
she left in the morning. (Not
really. We were actually sound asleep –
but don’t let HER know.) No matter what
– we’re thrilled for another 3 day weekend!
Have a great Saturday. I know we will!
