Henry the Sled Stealing Dog 🐕🛷
This month’s episode is about my parents’ black lab Henry, who we discovered takes an unusual and vast delight in stealing and returning sleds. Not just any sleds, however, only those that he believes are not sleds at all...but actually giant frisbees that it is his very serious responsibility to catch and return to us...even if we’re the ones sitting on them!
Let’s find out how we discovered his amusing habit, and enjoy a wintery trip to the past.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
