“Look at this, Little One; it looks like Dad and his leaf sucker were at work.”
“I can’t believe how leaf free the turf is now.”
“Well, there are a couple still left.”
“But notice there are none stuck to your paws.”
“Very true. You know that is a real pain when it happens.”
“I wonder where Dad take all those leaves?”
“Humm. I was going to have a quick answer then discovered I really don’t know.”
“Is this another life mystery that we have to solve?”
“I hope not. There are so many other mysteries that seem a little more important.”
“Like what?”
Let me see. Ah here’s one. Where do squirrels sleep at night?”
“That is a good one. I never thought about that before.”
“How about this? Were do tuggy toys come from.”
“Mom always gives us tuggy toys.”
“Where does she get them”
“You are starting to make my brain hurt. Let’s change the subject.”
“Okay. How far am I from you right now?”
“You think dogs know anything about distance? How should I know?”
“You wanted me to change the subject.”
“I’m beginning to think we need some reference material. Maybe a Google account.”
