The other weekend, I took her outside with the sole purpose of making a leaf pile and seeing what she would do. She didn’t try and “help” undo the pile as I was making it, thankfully. The first time I threw a bunch up in the air she watched them fall down and wanted to play with them. She did run through the pile a little bit and when I got my dad to bury me in leaves she had fun finding me. She did swallow a few leaf pieces, which made her throw up when we came inside though so it wasn’t all that bad. Her fur is quite curly so she when she plays in the leaves small pieces end up stuck to her fur, while whole leaves find a new home in her tail.
It was getting pretty hard to see where she did her business in her penned area, so we raked the leaves and swept the porch there too. Poor Finley, she was so confused and wondering why we were getting rid of her playmates. The leaves got thrown right on the other side of the fencing and when she went out in her yard, she tried to get some of the leaves back into her pen. She reached her paw through the fence and was trying to bring back leaves in...she didn’t succeed but it was cute to see.
