Afraid of a Rubber Duck

Once again, a new obstacle in our daily walk.  One of the directions that I walk in is along a highway, where I pass by a boat and marine shop.  They have just put out a large inflatable pool or lake duck.  It's one of those that an adult or a couple of children can sit in and ride in.  As we approach it, Rowdy starts trying to avoid it and pulls back away from it.  I have to drag him around it in able to get by it and continue our walk.  This is across the street from the giant sign monster that scared him several years ago.  You never know what he will be frightened of next.

Frightening Farts

Rowdy has never been one to fart much.  You seldom have to endure that 'all the sudden' smell that makes you want to leave the room. Because of this, with him it is difficult to blame the dog when you want to.  However, this is one dog issue that I am happy about.

Occasionally though, he does toot.  It is not the silent killer that rises up and punched you in the nose.  You can actually hear a little spurt.  Whenever he does this, he usually jumps up and turns to look behind him, like something attacked him.  A couple of times, he has been laying on his pillow and all the sudden, it sounds like he hit the wall behind him and he'll jump off his pillow and almost run away.  The first time it happened, I wondered what was wrong with this crazy dog and I got up to look to see what attacked him.  But since then I have figured it out.  

Yesterday, he came into the bathroom and as he got close to where I was, he spurted a little short one.  That startled him and he jumped and turned around to look behind him to see what happened.  Sometimes this little doggie provides a person with so much humor, as I had a good laugh over that.
