I am continually amazed by Lucy. Maybe it’s just because she’s my first dog, but I dunno…

Over the weekend I was cleaning up the bedroom. Lucy found a small box, picked it up in her mouth and walked out of the room with it. Since that was exactly the sort of thing I was trying to collect and throw away, I griped, “Aww, Lucy, bring that back here.“

She put the box down and came back to where I was.

Intrigued,  I went for broke. “No, go get that box and bring it back here.“

She DID.

Massive hugs and praise ensued.

I know border collies are notorious for this kind of thing, but it’s amazing to see it in action.
