There is one member of the Peter family pack that I haven't mentioned, mainly because I haven't really figured out yet what it is....
I don't think it's a human, because it's small and it doesn't use words, but it's definitely not a dog because it has no fur.
They call it "baby" and it's really into bungee jumping! Hour after hour up and down it goes.. and happy... this creature gives happy a new meaning...
As I've been studying it, I have noticed that it uses a lot of the same tactics as us dogs to get what it wants. Cute faces, whining and some sort of screeching which I think is it's attempt to bark. Everyone loves "baby" even though it doesn't seem to have any useful skills....Which just goes to show that you don't need to be a super achiever to be a part of a pack...
I don't know if I'll ever understand "baby" because it's really different than the rest of us dogs, but I am fascinated. I wonder if a lot of pack members feel this same confusion, not knowing how to respond to the pack members who are really different? Part of me wants "baby" to be just like the rest of us dogs, and part of me enjoys having such an interesting pack member... I wonder if it's the same in Duane and Tamara's people pack? I'll have to ask them when they get back ....
Well good by for now, I'm off to take my turn on the bungee jumper... I think "baby" is starting to rub off on me...weehee!
