Our Dog Pearl

Our Dog, Pearl, got her head stuck in the fence yesterday. Motivated, but not smart. She was in the back yard, and I was in the front mowing. Sarah comes around and motions to me to stop the mower. She then says, “your dog has her head stuck in the fence. She looks all sad like she’s in the stocks in colonial America.” Sure enough, Pearl had her head stuck between the pickets at the bottom, and presumably was just hanging out until someone freed her. She’s smart when she wants to be, but her smarts are sometimes overridden by her love for us- she just wanted to be in the front with me.

The other funny thing was that as Sarah was clearing the back yard of sticks, she was throwing them up into the leaves. Unfortunately, Pearl was bringing them back as fast as Sarah could throw them. Frustrating for Sarah, but all kinds of fun for me to watch.
