Truman - Half of Ambroa's Dynamic Duo
December 02

That's Truman on the right
LOCAL MOLES ARE TERRIFIED BY THIS DYNAMIC DUO

TAKING A "TIME OUT" FROM PLAYING TAG AND WRESTLING


The odds are against ever being able to take a picture of Truman by himself. Whenever he and Frodo are together they're inseparable. And they're usually moving around pretty fast.

Truman belongs to the local church sexton and his wife. The elderly couple live down the road a couple of hundred yards, next to Ambroa's church. They feed Truman and give him a place to sleep, but Truman comes to our place for entertainment.

We used to let Frodo out of the yard and into the fields when Truman came to visit. But the two would disappear for hours and Frodo would eventually come home so pooped out that he'd rather lie down than have dinner. So now we let Truman into the yard instead. He and Frodo chase each other and wrestle for a while, then they rest for a while before resuming their games. When Frodo can't take it anymore, he comes into the house and we feed Truman and then send him home with a couple of dog treats.

We asked Truman's owners about the name they gave him. Yep, he's named after the former president. We're not sure whether it was intended as a compliment or something else.
