I enjoyed playing “Pick Up Sticks” when I was young. I was pretty good at it, too! :0)
This is our 10-month-old yellow lab, Amber’s, collection of sticks this morning. Every day she makes a collection. Today I watched her while she put each stick where she wanted it, having some design in her head. She would stop, walk around a bit, go to the woods in front of the house, bringing another to add to the collection, then move one from one side of the yard to the other. When she was satisfied, she came to the door and barked.
We let her in and gave her a treat, but I think she was quietly disappointed that we didn’t admire her latest stick collection profusely.
This may also be a plot to get me to MOVE more, since I go out and ‘ruin’ the collection sometime during the day….
