I've Got a Stick

A dark, windy but not rainy evening walk in Arniston. Arlo's favourite activity on walks is to retrieve sticks (when we haven't taken toys), sometimes he'll drop them in our path and postions himself to launch after it, othertimes he will lie down still holding them, like this. He'll look around as if looking out for something. If we go to take the stick from him, most times he will turn his head away to avoid that, so we just wait for him to drop it, or not. We could tell him to drop it or take it from him, but there must be a reason he doesn't want that, like just taking time out or having a breather so we walk on until he is ready. I love how one stick can be carried around and thrown for several km, we can get quite attached to them, and obviously some sticks are better than others... for me anyway, he don't really care. And that's as much as I can say about sticks...
