So yesterday
morning, I knew it was my human's last day at work so I was sure to get her up
early. At 4:30. She was not overly impressed, but got dressed and took Einstein
and I out for our morning walk. In the dark. Really dark. My
human was sporting her headlamp as she trudged up the driveway. With
us in the lead. And luckily, despite the fact that she was still
half asleep, she had a good hold of our leashes. And suddenly,
SOMETHING ran across the driveway. It was bigger than a
squirrel. And bigger than a bunny. And bigger than a
cat. And bigger and faster than a porcupine. And we went
BONKERS. We pulled and barked and screamed. THANK GOODNESS my human
was able to hold on. Who knows WHAT it was?! IF it was a
bear, it was a small bear. But I honestly can't think of what else
it could have been. Wait – maybe a raccoon! Nah – it was bigger than that. One thing for sure, whoever it was, he wasn't
interested in a close encounter with two crazy PONs. He disappeared in the woods. After we came
home, my human took the FG out for his walk. Now keep in mind that
he was in the house when he ( and everyone in a 5km radius) heard the
PONdemonium when we saw the strange critter, so he was anxious to see what all
the fuss was about. So he stepped out the door but promptly jumped backward
growling. He spotted the empty garbage can. And he growled. And boofed.
You know what a boof is. It’s not
a bark, and it’s not a play sound. It’s
a “I’m not so sure about this thing” sound.
It’s a boof. And he can make a
big boof. Anyway, my human had to DRAG
him up the driveway past the ominous garbage can that is ALWAYS there. While he
boofed away.
So my human
officially got her work done yesterday – and she reportedly walked out of her
office singing “See you in September…” Mind you, she did say something about
one of the things on her agenda involves dogs and baths. Surely she can’t mean me…
Have a happy
Saturday! Peace and paws up!
