He waits for his minions to clear the way before he enters a room, or goes through a door. He stands very patiently until Fleur jumps into the motorhome, goes to the water bowl to drink her fill. After Fleur drinks, she moves back to the doorway to encourage Power to "hurry". Of course Power is not going to jump into the motorhome until Fleur is out of his way, so he continues to wait patiently.
Is the way clear? |
About the time that the doorway had been clear for a few seconds, it is suddenly occupied by Chica, Power's paramour! Chica has come to the door to check on her boyfriend! Chica and Power gaze lovingly at each other for a few more seconds, and finally she walks away from the doorway. Power has to implement the next part of his royal protocol, and that entails checking to see if his royal footman(me) is holding the door in an extremely secure manner. He remembers very well the incident in which the wind blew the door and cut his hip open, requiring two surgeries! He has not entered a doorway since then without ascertaining his safety.
I acted brave, but I was really feeling bad! |
Since then, Power has used his senses to stay safe! He is extremely careful about the motorhome door, so listens for any squeak from the hinges. If it is squeaking, he won't move, no matter what.
I'm listening for trouble! |
He noses into situations, sniffing and exploring to check for interesting tidbits to eat, or any rabbits to chase!
My nose |
My orders are very clear, get all troublemakers out of the way! |
And Last, I believe that his highness has been reading some of the other dog blogs, because he wants to lie on his throne until late morning (Bunny, you have set this example). He seems to have no need to pee or poo! Unbelievable!
Yep, It sounds like Power is definitely king, or at least the females of the family are letting him think he is:)
ReplyDeleteI wonder which it is!
DeleteEvery home needs a King. I have 3 needy boys and 1 independent girl. I don't think anyone claims King but Google and Dimitri are definitely the pushy ones. Power enjoy your royalness :)
ReplyDeletePushy, keep pushing!

ReplyDeletePower, I am glad to see that you're upholding the family traditions! Sleeping in is one of life's great pleasures.
ReplyDeleteYou're wise to wait at the door, too! A Greyhound friend of ours got her tail scalped in the door, all the skin was peeled right off of it and she had to have her tail amputated. She looked like a tiny black Doberman and I can't imagine how bad it must have hurt! I'd be careful at that door, as well!
