Stick to It!

If there’s one thing that separates us dogs from the lesser pets, it’s the way we commit. There’s a reason why people say “dogged determination” and not “catted” — it’s because when dogs start a task, we see it through. Like when my human told me to fetch the stick. Did I stand there questioning why he wanted it? No, sir, I did not. All that mattered was that I had my job and I was honor-bound to do it. And just three hours and a wheelbarrow full of dirt later, I had.

    Friday’s Thoughts of Dog calendar page:

    i found a stick. that is twice as long as my body. but i have found its center of mass. and we’re bringing it home

    Not sure which is more impressive, big stick or small tree complete with root ball.

    Doggo takes the job very seriously. And adorably. And messily.

    What a face and what a fetch!! It’s either the greatest so proud or f… you moment for the dog. Just glad I don’t have to clean it up.

    Still prefer this over the bloody headless ‘gifts’ that I used to receive.

    Labs are the best dogs, but sometimes they do stuff like this.
