A Compulsion to Retrieve


Look: I have the soul of a Chow Chow - plus the attitude and the spotted tongue to prove it. I like to swim just about as much as my homey "Lion" does:



However, I am also part Golden Retriever. I regard this stream of my genetic inheritance in much the same way as Spock regards his partial 'humanity.' And this part of me sometimes over-rides my good Chow Chow common sense and compels me to leap into lakes after sticks. So here I am, wrestling with my true nature, retrieving a stick from the waters.

Sigh,

Hallie
