puppy with a purpose

Kai is a puppy with a purpose. She feels compelled to bring sticks home from our walks. Not just any sticks. She is very selective. I have no idea what her criteria is. What I do know is once she finds one, she holds on tight and she prances with complete pride. Tail erect. Her pace quickens and she gains total focus. No more scent distractions or toilet breaks. No matter the size, she lugs her find all the way home. Without fail. It's her job.

Yesterday she scored some pine (which could have easily fallen on my head mind you). It was as long as she is. Seriously.
