Pax, The Bemused Elder, In Our Pack Of Dogs
Author: siggyPax is a Rottweiler mix, one scary ninety pound dog. He is twelve and most of the time has this bemused expression in his face. Tilla, his son, loves to tease him. He will have a bone in his mouth and run alongside him cheek to cheek eliciting warning barks from him. Tilla know how far to tease him. I really got mad at Pax the other day. I bought our favorite crusty rye bread and broke off a piece. I was not paying close attention for a second or two, temporarily laid it on the ground and Pax swiped it. I was going to grab it out of his mouth but my other dissuaded me from doing that. I was pissed. He did it again. He is a great bagel thief too. Don’t lay one nearby: he will grab it so quickly you will never see him do it. He is getting a little crotchety. He has his favorite spot in the yard–in one corner and will bark at anyone who has the temerity to pass nearby. He is not really mean. He just looks the part. He is one dog I never want to get loose.
