The Need to Serve
Our little Australian Shepherd/Cattle dog mix, Miles, is seriously compelled to serve and really needs a job. I'm sure that he would be much happier on a farm or ranch working non-stop but he satisfies himself with chasing all the critters that wander into our yard and sometimes herds the two older dogs around.
Miles looks forward to retrieving the local newspaper from the end of the driveway every morning but there is no paper on Mondays. This morning I forgot about that and we went out the front door to do our routine. The neighbors across the street have been away for a few days so when Miles realized there was no paper in our driveway he quickly retrieved one of the papers from the neighbor's yard. Whatever it takes, mission accomplished, job done!
What a smarty pants!
