This column is:for all you
"Pepper" fans, who have
been' asking when our
springer spaniel is going to
write ai}other column. Well,
believe me, I've been begging
him to write a column - I've
been so busy lately I sure
could use the help. But he
refuses - says his contract
clearly states he only writes
two columns •a year, on his
birthday and at\Christmas.
Pepper told me that, you
ask f Yes, it's true, Pepper
does talk. We haven't said too
much about his abilityto
carry on a conversation - we
don't want the crew from
"That's�Incredible'barging in-
to our home, and ail the
publicity that would surround
such a talented dog. But if you
promise not to tell the camera
crews, I'll share the story of
Pepper's language skills with
you.
• We learned he could talk a
few months back when lily
husband, Victor, started call-
ing him P.R; instead of Pep-
per. You see, Pepper had
undergone minor operation
to curb his desire for late
.night dates with area lady
dogs.
Well, after his visit to the
'animal hospital, we were con-
cerned about the damage to
his male ego. Pepper, we
decided, was a rather
frivolous name for a full
grown dog. P.R. on the other
hand, has a, macho sound to it
- it brings to mind J.R. - of
Dallas fame. Thus. P.R.. was
"adopted as his initials and a
nickname. •
Then one day. I wondered
out loud what the R in P.K.
stood for. Clearly . and
distinctly, Pepper answered,
"Ralph." Ever since then he
has officially been Pepper
Ralph Alderson.' better
known around the house as
P.R. •
Well, when we heard him •
speak so eloquently, we plied..
him with questions just to
hear his amazing responses.
In case you have any doubts
about our canine friend's
linguistic abilities, here a few
examples: •
The 'other 'day, P.it. and I
were outside playing Frisbee
when I tossed it high into the
air and it disappeared.
Where'd it go?" I asked.
"Roof" replied Pepper. And
sure enough. there was the
F'r'isbee. stuck • on th'e
shingles. •
Then ;last. weekend we.
noticed what looked like so-
meone's dock .floating down
the river. Pepper was sitting
out on the river bank, so I ask-
ed him what was floating hy.
"Raft" he answered, quite
succinctly.
Just last Saturday night, we
came home to find him stret
ched out on the living roon
floor in front of a speaker
listening to the stereo.
"What's you favourite radio

"WRIF" he responded, hav-
ing
aving made up his mind quickly.
And then one day. I noticed
he was very ijuiet. His eyes
were droo he 'even more
than usual, and his tail was
dragging'behind him. "'How
do you feel?" I asked him.
"Rough" he said,•heading to
bed for a nap. I gave him a
Rolaid, and soon he was bet-
ter -.must have been the piz-,
za for lunch.
As - you can tell, his
vocabulary is growing. by
leaps and bounds. Drop by
sometime. and have a chat
with him. He can forth a pret-
ty good argument in a debate,
but you must remember that
his bark is much worse than
.his bite.
I think he's starting to work
on his. Christmas column but •
he's not showing me any of
the "roughs" (his • first
drafts). But I noticed him car-
rying the portable typewriter
out to his dog house the other
night. And. oh yes, he says to
