Dinner time. Just as the roast pork emerges from the oven Sophie appears in the kitchen. She's clearly very pleased with herself as she's doing that soft shoe shuffle PONs do when they're having a 'joy' overload. She's tripping over her paws with happiness.
The source of this 'joy' is soon apparent. She drops a dead rodent on the kitchen floor . She then takes a step back and stares at it, longingly. The treasure has been carefully carried from the barn, through the orchard, across the courtyard and into the house. 'The Fonts' cheerful 'What have you got there Sophie?' segues into silence. Angus has a little black plastic bag in his pocket. This is immediately put to use and the deceased animal transported quickly and efficiently outside.
Dinner is delayed while the Lutheran side of the family mops the floor . Sophie, is of course beside herself with happiness. She has made a real contribution to her herds welfare.
Life with dogs is never dull.

Not only is it not dull... there is never a risk of being anything less than fully entertained - albeit occasionally on the "Scandi Noir" side of things!!! YAM xx
Good on you Sophie. You must be turning into a cat.
Yes, I've had cats bring me such presents, but never a dog. With a dog, it's usually just straight down the gullet. I really do think Sophie has paid you and the Font a great honor.
Well done Sophie. What a girl!
I trust you were duly rewarded with some pork crackling?
Toodle pip!
Bertie.
Sophie, what a thoughtful gift. That was a real contribution to the feast - even though your humans may have been less than impressed.
Yes, I agree with Lisa! Our old orange cat brought us a squirrel and banged the front screen door for me to come and get it. I thanked him and told him he could have it, but he left it on the door mat——a present——for us. Our dogs, on the other hand, have "enjoyed" any unfortunate squirrels.
I have to agree you usually hear of this in C-A-T-S, such a good girl honoring you by sharing. And a retriever too.
Loving this!
Thank you so much for the wonderful information. I appreciate it very much.
