A huge, harry, long-legged freaky thing.

Too Smart For His Own Good
So, the dog figured out the reason I’ve been throwing the ball for him in the morning. Exercise. In retaliation for being tricked, the little stinker stopped retrieving the ball. Apparently, he thought I should participate in the fun, too.
In the last week, I’ve had to go find it in the dark about 8 times. With all the leaves on the ground, not an easy task.
Me
He thinks it’s funny to chase me through the leaves and try to take me down. Again… Me
But, I’m stubborn, and we keep trying. I went out...
