Fritz relaxing on the front porch this morning and a few minutes later on the front step.I went and let him out,he went to Mom,after Mom got up,he came out to the livingroom and wanted outside.I think he had his cereal and toast when I was out watering.He barked at one kid this morning wearing a hat ,a couple of kids who cut across our neighbor's lawn twice every day and kids just sitting waiting for the bus.Mom bought Fritz a new bed yesterday,hasn't tried it yet,maybe today.I found out he gets a Rosette for finishing 3rd in the contest and we get a grooming tool also.He is now in the front window laying down.He doesn't seem to play as much as he used too.i think I read it somewhere around the age of 5 they start to slow down,hard to believe with the way he goes on at the groomers every 5 weeks.Last night,I wanted him to come in,he growled at me twice but he did come in.
