Tempting Royal Fate

Roscoe loves tempting royal fate by challenging the older Little Prince to a race around the yard.

In the this-is-hard-to-believe department, His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey is approaching his tenth birthday (and ninth gotcha day at Chez Herd) this winter. The dog who used to have an eight-foot vertical leap and could out twist and turn rabbits in an open field is a wee bit slower on the paw now. His bestest buddy Roscoe P. knows this too. Roscoe’s favorite game is a drive-by taunting that entices a jaw-snapping pursuit. Little siblings everywhere appreciate the ultimate tempting royal fate.

    The Little Prince says that she is just a number and I can still run when I want!

    Roscoe is so good for Typhoon. He’s keeping him young.

    Typhoon looks great for his age. He can send my Ruby a little if he has some to spare!!

    It looks like the Little Prince Typhoon Phooey can keep up with his younger brother Roscoe P pretty well. Good job there Typhoon!!

A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.
