Cowboy

This photo is one of Fargo's favorites. And this is why he got the nickname "Cowboy." My Human took Fargo to get his picture taken around Halloween (Howloween?) in 2001. He got this picture taken the same weekend that he tested for and got his Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Fargo is a good dog in public, but he has a really ornery side in private. If I'm in my box and my Human tries to go get some attention from Lex, the ever vigilant Fargo will sneak up on her and bite her butt. Not enough to hurt, but enough to startle her.

Fargo the Comedian

Fargo is the comedian amongst all of us. Whenever we're feeling down, we can count on Fargo to tell us some joke or do an imitation. You should hear his political routine! One of my favorite thinks is when he does his dead on imitation of my Human.

He wanted to tell you a little about himself so hhheeerrreeesss FFFaaarrrgggooo!!!

Aaaarrrrrooooo!!!!!!! Fargo, here! My human has said (in my presence, no less) that I am her best behaved dog in public, but a crazy dog at home. Yeah? So what! Isn't that the way it's supposed to be? In public I am Mr. Calm, Cool, & Collected. I am very obedient. But at home, I need to be the center of attention. If I'm ignored, I'll yell "Ha!" in that person/dog's ear. Or maybe I'll grab a hind leg or a hand. Maybe even a butt. WATCH OUT!!!!

I have something that no one else in my house has. I have earned my Canine Good Citizen certificate. My Human and I also tried to get the Therapy Dog International certificate, but they pulled a fast one on me. Some nice woman threw these treats on the floor in front of me as we walked by. I figured, "Hey, free food." So I grabbed one. For some reason my Human didn't get one, too. They disqualified me for that!

I hate being ignored. Once when we were out for a walk, some guy didn't even look at me! Can you believe that? So I just stopped walking and turned and tried to stare him down.

When I was still in school, we canines were in a 5 minute down/stay. It was very boring, so I tried to entice the other dogs into breaking their stay. I remained in a down/stay, but I whisper barked, "Ha!" in their direction.

Fargo North Dogkota, CGC

Fargo is my best friend. He went to school and became a "Canine Good Citizen." He is also fluent in that weird human language that they are always squalking in.

(Fargo here. I have to interrupt this blog to point out that I like Tubey, but he doesn't always know when to quit. Take that whole Lex thing. We've all told Tubey that he needs to knock it off. He's annoying not only Lex, but all of us. And about him wanting to be an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist: I'm not quite the willing patient as he would lead you to believe.)
