![]() Hello All. Another dog day of summer and it is still raining. What is a girl to do? I have been thinking of my brothers Stoney Wall, and Frodo. Here is a great picture of Stoney Wall my brother. He was also known as Wizzer. Frodo my brother is a short haired grey striped Siamese tiger-cat, Here is his baby "kitty" photo. He has a whole story of his own about life in the "cow barn". I will tell it to you sometime. Over the years we have learned many things from each other. Now, some folks do not believe in inter-species learning. But if you ask me, I say, of course. But, I am after all only a dog and compared to some experts, what do I know? Well, you would be surprised! So let me tell you my story. My brother Merlie, the collie, will dance at the back door and chortle when NEED compels him. This is how the old folks know he NEEDS TO GO OUT. For the doxies in the house Mama placed a hanging bell on the door knob to that same back door. She then tried to teach us how to "RING THE BELL" whenever we needed to go pee. Or you know, the other stuff too. Now my brother Stoney Wall, his response was like, BLEAH, ARE YOU KIDDING? BUT FOR ME , I LOVE RINGING THAT BELL AND HEAR IT ECHO THOUGH OUT THE WHOLE HOUSE! It means for me that I GET TO GO OUT THE DOOR INTO THE UNIVERSE under the BIG BLUE SKY where I could hear THE CHIRPING BIRDS AND I GOT TO RUN!!. So I ring the bell, and Mama takes me to the little doggie pen in the back yard. It is a great system I think. Anyway, one day I am sleeping on the couch with brother Stoney Wall and THE BELL is RINGING!! I'm thinking, Whoo Hoo!! Stoney Wall has finally learned how to RING THE BELL. How cool is that? Totally forgetting of course that he was just laying on the couch next to me. So I am immediately flying off the couch, running toward the sun room, WINGS A FLYING!! (Here's a picture of Stoney Wall and me on the couch). ![]() Into the sun room I run and Mama and Papa are standing there. They are looking very funny with their jaws hanging low. And they keep looking back and forth at each other. I am of course still thinking, WAY TO GO STONEY WALL. I make the corner at top speed and there is FRODO our family cat. HE IS THE ONE WHO IS RINGING THE BELL! I am totally confused AS IS FRODO because he looks at the old folks and RINGS THE BELL AGAIN and is like, WAITING. YOU COULD SEE IT IN HIS EYES. COME ON FOLKS LET ME OUT!! I guess he thought that if this was the key to the door opening FOR MERLIE AND ME THEN WHY NOT HIM? Why not indeed? I am very proud because HE LEARNED IT FROM ME! And so, every once in a while he will STILL RING THE BELL. And when he does I JUST SMILE! And yes, dogs do smile.
