You will all think I have lost my mind, but here is my Friday tale. Completely true, I assure you.
Our neighbors own a very cute, but strange Schipperke male dog named Kodiak. Ever since they moved in, he has come over and wee-wee’d all over our yard. Fritz accepts this as he is Kodiak’s best friend and adheres to the my tree is your tree mode of thinking. Life is just the two boys romping around our back yard.
Now, Arnie has been watching Kodiak for some time. He hasn’t much cared for him since Kodiak nipped at him and Anneliese when they were about 12 weeks old. He watches and he waits and when Kodiak comes to call he barks like mad!
He also alerts me when Kodiak lifts his leg.
This morning Kodiak came to call. Arnie told me and I let Fritz outside to play with him. I could see Arnie sitting by the door, unhappily. He wanted to get out, he wanted to chase Kodiak away.
I smiled, but got on with my housework not thinking any more of it. By mid afternoon, Kodiak had gone home and Hubby suggested that we take the puppies out for some exercise, so we got their toy balls and out we all went. The dogs played and played and then I spotted Arnie. He was a little apart from Greta, Fritz and Anneliese.
I watched and watched and soon, what should he do? He went over to the corner of the cement basement and …
He lifted his leg and wee-wee’d right on the spot where Kodiak had gone that morning!!!
I mean he lifted that short little leg so high, I thought he might topple over, but he didn’t.
Hubby and I were so proud and we praised him over and over, while Hubby grabbed the hose and rinsed the corner off.
I guess our little boy is growing up!
Good boy, Arnie!!!
Way to go Arnie! 😀 Wolfie does the same thing!
Was it the first time ?? then congratulations ! He surely wanted to show you, what this dog can I can do too ! We had a female dog so I am not so updated on boys as cats don’t lift their legs, lol ! There I should celebrate when little Rosie digs a hole outside for the first time.
This is such a funny read to me and remember I’m a Norwegian so these names are not that familiar to me. So constantly I have to remind myself that it is dogs and puppies you are talking about LoL
Never the less: Arnie (Arne in Norwegian:-) is a good boy!
Btw: Thanks for faming me – your on my list of course:-)
How cute, he is such a great little one!
