Dorji Sonnenberg's Story

My name is Dorji, actually Valhalla's Dances in the Wind, a little pretentious don't you think?  I moved to Moody Pond from West Virginia in December 2019 and, I have to say, it is like heaven here on the pond.  I love to bark at chipmunks, red squirrels, deer, crows and airplanes but I especially love to bark at runners and bicyclists, though I am quite friendly when they stop to say hi.  My adoptive parents are worried about the future of the pond and so am I.  I worry that if that Eurasian Milfoil (I'm Icelandic but not invasive) gets worse and the pond becomes a stinking mess every summer, the runners and bicyclists will stay away and I will get very bored and fat.
Please help the Friends of Moody Pond tackle this weedy problem while there is still time.
Oh, my challenge (it's a tough one): I am going to try to bark only at every other runner and bicyclist.  I think that's worth something!
