My Four Dogs
Author: siggyI have four dogs and I have a special relationship with each one and I know I have written about all of them but bear with me. There is “Pax”, a Rottweiler mix, who I have known for over eight years. He came with my wife. He lumbers down the yard and has his favorite corner where he will bark at anyone who has the temerity to pass by. He is the most vocal of the four. He looks at me with a bemused expression and loves bread. He is a bagel thief. Leave one nearby and if you are not careful he will slip it away and gobble it down before you know it. I like teasing him by pulling his tail. He will bark at me in retaliation but I do it anyway. He does not move too quickly any more and I have stepped on him accidentally too many times. He now instinctively moves out of the way when I walk nearby. He is a scary looking dog but has never bitten anyone.
There is my favorite — “Tilla”. This morning he came into my bedroom and jumped on the bed to greet me. He is the smartest dog I have and also the most athletic one: we had to build our large wooden picket fence higher for he was the only one that could jump over it. He has gotten into the most trouble. We did have one visit from the local dog warden after he got out once and harassed the neighbor ‘s dog. He is a midsized black dog with a barrel chest. He usually does not take his eyes off of me. He is the only one I have taken walks with. I will write about the other two later.
