Boot Camp for Baron

Hi All,

Denise, Baron's newest personal trainer, recommended sending Baron to her home for a few days of remedial work. What could she be thinking? Just because Baron has managed to demolish not one but two pairs of prescription reading glasses in one week is not call for alarm. I am thinking of investing in the stock of companies that manufacture lenses. Does anybody have any recommendations?

I hate to admit it but I have a drawer of broken items that need to be taken in for repair. This includes: pottery from Peru, ceramic cookie jar (not wanting to bother me, Baron tried to help himself), tiny Brazilian figurines, and a Swavorski crystal poodle (Baron thought this was a relative and greeted her enthusiastically). Fortunately, the recently repaired intricately carved ivory tusk which was my mother-in-law's, is placed out of his reach. For details on that fiasco see the entry entitled "Poodle Place in Shambles" (April 10).

So fellow poodle lovers, do you think Baron should be sent to Boot Camp? What if he comes back perfectly behaved - what will I ever have to write about? Think of it, entry after entry of accolades about our regal poodle. Wouldn't that be boring? On the other hand, it might be nice to find out.

With a kick,
Botswain

PS
By the way, Denise doesn't even know about the glasses. I won't tell her if you don't!
