He looked at it; sniffed it; put one toe on it briefly; and absolutely refused to walk on it. Every time they came to it, he would walk around it. So, dear Auntie Gail, please be more understanding of these occasional quirks that cause us wirey lads to seem a bit obstinate, I bet there are at least one or two things that you refuse to do, "just because." But know that we love you anyhow, anyway!!! And if we had to carry you across, of course we would!!!<br /><br />Wirey woof.<br /><br />Just Harry Jake of Floridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460837412289201219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-80985071658912524142014-02-17T19:07:47.128+00:002014-02-17T19:07:47.128+00:00Totally works for us.

Perhaps I'm having a bad influence on you? :)<br /><br />Alright, I just thought of a new joke. How do you keep intelligent cows from wandering too far from the herd? I guess you need a smart grid! <br /><br />Seriously... does it work? Let me know, so I can ask Pog to tweet it. (Pog is an imaginary character who lives with us and has her/his own Twitter account.
