After our agility class, which we both really enjoyed, we stopped at Three Dog Bakery. She hopped out of the Escape carrying a fuzzy duck. In the store she peered in the display windows and eagerly set her feet on the counter to get a free cookie from the clerk. After I selected a large Pupcake for her and three Peamutt Butter cookies for everyone, they were wrapped and put in a paper sack and handed over.
Devon looked at me as if to say, "Those are mine!" I folded the sack over so she could get a good hold and asked her to carry it. Sure enough, just as I knew she would, she gathered the top of the sack in her mouth and with a smiling glance over her shoulder at the clerk, we headed for the door. Outside, she looked both ways on the sidewalk, clearly wishing to talk about her birthday treats in her bag. Unfortunately there was no one around, but she happily trotted to the car. She hopped back in and after giving up her bag for later, curled in her crate for the ride home. What a good girlie!
Here Devon is showing great restraint before her "Pupcake" and then the grab for the food upon her release!

Yeh for Pupcakes! Did she find the icing to be kind of sticky? Rhys thought it was like peanut butter and it stuck to the roof of his mouth! ;) Happy Birthday Devin! Boy, you made her do work on her birthday? That's harsh! First agility class, then she had to carry her own birthday cake? ;)
Well, I can't comment on the icing, because that's the first thing Devon ate. It wasn't around long enough to notice it being sticky! Yeah, this girl was born to work. She was thrilled! Tired (yippee), but thrilled!
That's the cutest story about her carrying the bag.
Happy Birthday Devon!
