This dog is so smart he can walk himself!

4. So cute and sweet.

Also, Retrievers just like holding things in their mouths.

Last night my Lab was impatient while waiting for "mom" to get ready to walk. Dad had already put her collar and leash on, so instead of dragging it around the house, Missy girl picked it up and carried it around in her mouth until I was ready to leave. I asked her to "hand" it over. She did.

Next time, I'll see if she'll keep it in her mouth on our walk. I know her brother wouldn't stay on course unless he were leashed. He's a wild old man. Now I'm curious about how she'd behave just carrying her leash. I'm betting she would.
