The Stick Mystery
Saturday, November 29, 2008
(This happened a couple years ago, but I was just remembering fun things from my career in dog boarding, and thought I’d share it.)
I picked up the dog water bowl, filled it with water, and put it down on the floor. I looked at it a couple minutes later, and there was a stick floating in it! Hmmm… I grab my camera and take a picture…
I put the camera down, turn around, and behold—the stick is gone!!
What?!!!
I take another photo, and turn to put the camera back on the table. When I turn back, the stick is suddenly on the kitchen mat next to a tennis ball!
Jasper is sitting there looking at me, but he doesn’t move quickly… I know the culprit must be his brother, Kipper, who is lurking in the background, watching to see what I’ll do. (No photo available of that moment, unfortunately.)
This is a picture of Kipper (left), the super-fast sneaky one, and Jasper (right), whom Kipper set up to take the fall!
I know it was you, Kipper!
I love hanging out with these nutty border collie boys—things like this always happen when they’re around. They keep me on my toes.
