I necro this thread to share an adorable story about an adorable pug.
We live in an area that's near a lot of wildlife. Most of it is fairly terrifying--snakes, scorpions, tarantulas, that sort of thing--but there are also quite a few wild rabbits, and some mornings, we'll see two or three eating the grass in our yard.
Mollie, our girl pug, is about two years old, and ever since she learned the bunnies existed, she has made it her life's goal to befriend one. She has tried everything. She's walked out quietly and sedately, minding her own business. She's wandered over casually. She's bounded toward them, doing her best imitation of the bouncing way they move. Every time she tries, those skittish little things jump through the fence, leaving poor Mollie sad and confused.
Well, she has quite a few toys, and her favorite is a colorful set of plastic keys. Sometimes, she'll bring a toy over to one of us, just to show us how cool it is. This morning, she stood at the back door, keys in her mouth, asking to be let out so she could share her favorite toy with the three bunnies in the yard.
