A wee bit of background: Drew, the reddish-blond dog, loves to go after sticks in the water. Tarben, the bulldogge, hates water but does love to gnaw on sticks. Crofton Lake has a dike running along its shore - raised well above the edge of the water.
And THIS is what we observed yesterday afternoon - a true testament to the determination, perseverance and problem-solving abilities of our canine companions. Please note, there was absolutely NO human intervention in the feat you are about to observe.
Hmmm...here's a fine looking stick
(Note its postion in the water)
Someone help me get it out of here!
See, ya gotta spin it a bit like this!
Watch those splinters, though - yuk!
A little closer...
Okay, someone wanna throw this for me????
Somebody? Anybody? Whatd'ya mean it's too big??
Looks fine to me.....just gotta get it out of this yucky wet stuff!
Maybe if I grab it with my mouth?
PULL!!!!

Maybe a little leap will help....
Or a push from this angle...
Or I'll drag it wiv my mouf
Umphf - almost got it!

Wow! I am impressed! That was a lot of work but they sure managed it!
I certainly hope you all dragged the trophy home for them,lol
and the thing was very heavy too as it was half waterlogged.
That Tarben is a determent and a very strong boy.
