More Paxisms
More Paxisms. I know I have talked before about how Jaws has a number of behaviors that are very reminiscent of Paxton - but I can't help notice that there are even more. The latest? The food bowl thing. Paxton had this habit of finishing his meal and racing off with his metal food dish - to savor any last licks in privacy under the dining room table. And Jaws has decided to do the same. He LOVES carrying around the bowl, and he also throws in a quick game of bowl hockey on the tile floor when he is done. Frodo has been known to push the bowl around, but neither of us will actually carry it around. The dent marks are still evident from Pax - and now Jaws is adding his own dental signature.
Another weird one. We have this ancient cupboard in the dining room. It's like over 150 years old - like my human. Anyway, because it's old, one of the doors doesn't stay closed very well. So my human puts a tiny piece of cardboard or folded paper at the top of the door - to keep it closed. Frodo and I know the paper is there, and we couldn't care less. But JUST like Paxton, Jaws has noticed it, and like to pull it out. I'm not even sure how he first found it - but like Pax, he is a paper magnet. Search and destroy. His motto.
And lastly, is my human's FAVORITE behavior. After having a huge drink, he MUST go and wipe his wet face in my human's pants. Heck - her clothing in general. It's not so bad if it's the ugly dog sweat pants, but the behavior is not exactly appreciated if she is ready for work.
It is EXTREMELY difficult to get a photo of the three of us. You will note in the above photo that he is again holding a stick. It's the ONLY way to keep him still for 3.6 seconds. Notice also the SIZE difference from our previous shots with him. His counter surfing skills are a joy to behold.
Well it's Saturday - so that means LOTS of walks and play time. We deserve it after our hard week of "working."
Have a good one!
