Wendell on the warpath

This is Wendell. Big Brother Mugsy has been busy working on a top-secret project, so he asked me to fill you in on my training efforts. In addition to my studies, I've been working out with the Armed Revolutionary Forces (ARF). Mugsy says it's unlikely that I'll see any combat, but he felt I could use the discipline -- much like Prince Harry over in England. So I've been getting lots of exercise and learning various canine combat techniques. Just this morning, I learned that a human male can be incapacitated for several seconds with a sharp and unexpected bite to the nipple.

My favorite training exercise involves hunting a tennis ball. I could literally do this all day, but the trainers always seem to tire of it before I do.

Here's a photographic guide to a recent hunt:


The ayatollah, peace be upon him except when I am biting his tail, was there to supervise.


I spotted a tennis ball and was off like a lightning bolt. I can reach any spot in the back yard in 0.3 seconds or less.


I was close enough to taste its felty goodness.


I moved in ...


... and then, in an oddly catlike manner, I pounced.


With my prey helpless to escape, it was time for a victory lap.




And then it was time to rest.


Don't I make a fearsome soldier?


Well, don't I?!?

Wendell...I've got it!

Maybe your long, graceful legs are the result of an "Island of Dr. Moreau" style hybrid of Pug and Panther...?

dude - that last picture is priceless!

Awesome work Wendell, you are graceful and lethal like a ninja.

Wendell...you do, indeed, make a fearsome soldier! Thanks for the tip on incapacitating a human male. I'll add that to my arsenal of self-defense techniques.

Oh my gosh, Wendell is SO FREAKIN CUTE. And skinny for a pug. What gives?

Ayatollah Mugsy said...

I cannot comment on any top-secret research projects, Nevis. I'm sure you understand.

Thank you, Ree, Lucy and Sarah S. And you are most welcome for the self-defense tip, Sarah S.

More Wendell, Z?!? After all those photos? Am I being pushed aside from my own blog by the new teen heartthrob? I feel like fellow evangelist Kirk Cameron must have felt when a young Leonardo DiCaprio began to steal his limelight on "Growing Pains" ...

Thank you, AnimalLover. We agree. I assure you that Wendell's slender build is not the result of underfeeding. He has actually begun to fill out in recent months.

Nevis said...

Yes, indeed...more Wendell!

Nevis said...

Of course, more pictures of Mugsy, too! How about some group shots?

I agree - we need more Wendell or 'w' as we like to call him in the harem. Aine

Sarah said...

Wendell is nearly as fearsome as he is adorable.

Which makes him the perfect right-paw pup for the Ayatollah.

Wendell,
You are very cleaver to immolate great hunters,like cats. I hope you give the ball a good "dog" shake after you capture it. You are a cutie.

I meant emulate, not immolate. Sorry.

Hello. I just want to say that you’re doing good in your blog. I know a site where you can learn more about training dogs. It is called clicker training. I assure you that this one is superb. This was also recommended by dog trainers and veterinarians.

Ayatollah Mugsy said...

Thank you, JC. Your praise means the world to me.

Of course, Anonymous One. We would never immolate a cat, even if they do sometimes hiss at us.

Is it too early (or too late) to arrange a marriage for Wendell?

My young pug Viola, who is already the grateful recipient of your wonderful blessing, has taken quite a shine to Wendell. One wife is clearly too few for you, Ayatollah, but maybe Wendell would be willing to settle down?

Viola has a DogBook page, if Wendell would like to see a picture:

I want Wendell to finish his studies before he settles down and takes wives, Joe. But if the dowry is sufficient, he will certainly keep the fetching Viola in mind.
