The Household Canine's New, More Aristocratic Name
Having watched the Household Canine jump as he barks at squirrels, I have decided he needs a new, more aristocratic name. Henceforth, Maximus Barker shall be known as Maximus Barker-Leaper, or in Latin, Maximus Latrator-Desultor.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
Maximum Barker Leaper is bored, being an intelligent personage he finds being confined dull, and yearns to break free and exercise his robust limbs. He wishes to prance and dig and then afterwards, find a spot by the fire and curl up. But he must run and play and be with his person, whom he probably adores.
ReplyDeleteThe fascinating thing is that when we take him for a run by the river or out to the lake he never barks. He runs, checks for 'markings' and marks his own territory. The problem he has on his lead in the yard is that the squirrels and rabbits know exactly how far he can go. They actually tease him! There's a squirrel in the maple tree that shows in some of the pictures who will hang on the back of the tree, poke his head round to get Max to bark, and then duck back until the barking stops. The repeat, ad infinitum until I take Max inside.
