Flash is having a grand
Dave and I brought Flash in to work because there's a house inspection at
our place later on today. Emily and I were watering one of the lab PI's flowers
because he's out of town when we spied our favorite stuffed buffalo sitting
in a corner of his office. This being a laboratory for scientific research,
it was only natural for us to ask ourselves "what would happen if Flash saw
the buffalo". We took it down to my office and opened the baby gate so Flash
could get out if she wanted to. She was very leery at first and started approaching
very slowly (and sideways for some reason; I guess she wanted to maximize
the range of vision of her one eye). I gave the buffalo a nudge every once
in a while to make it seem like it was alive. After a few stops and starts,
Flash inched her way out of the door and around the buffalo. Can you guess
what she did next? Why, she made a beeline to sniff the buffalo's butt of
course. Dogs will be dogs. We were all highly amused. I never knew science
could be so entertaining...
