Throwing the bird in the dark

Last night as I was throwing Kirby his beloved (and well-chewed) plastic pheasant, I wondering what he thought about playing in the dark everyday. Dogs in Alaska must be used to it…and so is Kirby. My son asked me if Kirby had good eyesight, like cats do, in the dark. I don’t know if he does, but I know his nose works pretty well. Two nights ago when we were throwing the bird, Kirby kept refusing a certain path. Yesterday, in the brief moments of daylight between 3 and 4pm, I saw a virtual landmine of dog deposits in the area he had refused to run in. Good nose! Picking up frozen dog deposits was a fun experience…

LOL! I thought about that one when I was writing the header. I guess I could have written “Tossing the bird.”
