Goose. Goose. Duck.

So.  Life goes on.  It is a different life for us right now.  But still a life of wonder and surprises.  Like yesterday morning.  It was a COLD morning -which was OK because we got to go for a walk on the trail because the ground was frozen.  Otherwise we wouldn't have attempted it - it would have been WAY too muddy after a rainy weekend. Frodo and mud puddles do NOT go together.  It's like walking a 40 lb bag of potatoes.  

As we were walking, just after dawn, we were approaching a pond. My human always calls it Harper's pond.  Harper was a Bernese I never knew.  Apparently Harper would stop at the pond and listen for the frogs.  Then he would let out a HUGE bark.  Every day.  As if to say hello. 

And as we were approaching the pond - my human spotted - and heard something.  Two geese.  On the pond.  Frodo and I couldn't see them at first - there was a hill blocking our view.  But when we spotted them - holy moly - we were mesmerized.  Those are BIG birds.  Bigger than the birds we have been chasing from the feeder the past few days.  WAY bigger.  And I wanted those geese. Frodo QUICKLY figured out that to get those geese, one would have to get wet.  So his interest disintegrated.  On the other hand, it took me longer to figure that out.  Mind you, I was also on a leash so there was virtually no chance I could get them.  My human had that leash in a death grip. And then do you know what happened?  A duck arrived.  By himself.  Two geese and a duck. Kind of like two PONs and a Berner.  The duck wasn't with the geese, but he kind of was.  I think it was another sign from you know who....And they all then floated quietly on the water. While two PONs were dragged along the path...

My human had to work yesterday.  But as she was leaving, she rambled on about maybe taking us to work one day.  Which sounds like fun.  BUT she also said something about GROOMING first.   So apparently one has to be presentable to go to work.  I think I'll pass.  

We are being well behaved.  And I must tell you - it is hard work.  It is just not in my nature.  But I'm trying...Mind you we DID have a little "incident" yesterday- I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.

Have a good day...
