The Other Day

I was playing with Lemon and Inky. Inky was running around with a stick in his mouth, trying to get Lemon to play. Well, Lemon decided that he did want to have the stick after all, and started chasing Inky. Poor Lemon! He was never a fast dog, and Inky, is, well, Inky. Inky was running circles around Lemon, avoiding the rabbit pen in the middle (we use it in summer for our two rabbits), and Lemon suddenly had this burst of inspiration! While Inky was going around the pen, he could just go through and catch him on the other side! He ran and jumped over the fence, slowed down, and found he was stuck in the middle! With not enough room to gain speed, he wouldn't be able to jump over the other side and so, he had to just stand there, looking pathetic. Inky, meanwhile, was running victory laps around the outside of the pen, looking for all the world as if it had been his idea all along. Of course, I couldn't let Lemon just stay there, so I had to get him out. Lifting a full-grown retriever isn't easy, especially if you're not exactly fit!
