Even my dog cracks me up!

Last night we went on our evening walk. Winny LOVES her walks and is such a spaz. She also loves sticks. Toys she could care less about, we can't get her to carry a toy or retrieve a toy out on a walk. But throw her a stick and she will chase it for hours, or at least until it falls apart. If you stop throwing it she will carry it and prance like she is in a dog show.

So we were out walking last night and let Winny off to run in the field near our house. She chases rabbits and just generally stretches her legs. AB and I are noting that they must be building or doing something in the field as there survey markers throughout the field. I ponder if they are going to build a trail from the new nursing home around the field, down to the stream and up to the walking trail. AB doesn't know.

We look down and start talking to Leif who is yapping away. Look up and see our dog bounding towards us... in her mouth is a stick! To be more precise... a wooden survey marker with pink tape and writing on one end! She pulled the stick right out of the ground. I am sure she thought they put it there JUST for her!

AB finally got it away from her and propped it up on a fence where the surveyors might see it and find it... 50 yards from where it was... covered in teeth marks.

That'll teach them to consider building in Winny's field!
