Our older dog has a rock fetish.
She takes one out of drive and brings them to people.
One day we were rocking on porch. Each time we said “rock” she went and got one. Had quite a pile.
On day neighbors came over and she brought them leaf...Neighbor said “what no rock” she looked at both of them and then picked up TWO small rocks and brought to them.
She usually brings one in when she comes in.....hurts to step on them.
When I lived in Washington State, we had a deck with rocks underneath. After my daughter’s wedding, a lot of friends and family who were there from out of town gathered back at our house and sat around talking the night away. My dog kept bringing them rocks, and they would pitch the rocks out into the woods. Terra would run into the woods (pitch black) and bring the same rock back. She did this until the people got tired of throwing rocks — about 2 AM.
