Walk #29: The Stick Game

Walk Duration: 60 minutes.

I'm told that dogs were domesticated some 12,000 years ago. They came from Wolves who (then as now) were looking for scraps and bones to gnaw on. They became enslaved because they wanted "Fast Food". Sound familiar?

But it has been a happy arrangement for both dog and human. At least I'm happy with the arrangement. Angel and I have a ritual. At least once on our walk, she must wrestle my walking stick away from me:

Then she proudly runs off with the stick:


And then drops it, waiting for me to wrestle it back from her. She is much more amused by this game than I am.
