if only the camcorder had been running

So today I came home early from work, and my wife was off of work, too.

For months now, when we get home at our usual time, we have found the mail with some mysterious wrinkles and dents. We had finally figured out that the dog must be chewing on the mail (the mail guy drops it through a slot and onto the floor of the enclosed porch).

Well, today, as we were sitting int he living room, the dog gets and runs to the door, we hear the clank of the mail slot opening.........and IN RUNS Bouffer with the MAIL IN HIS MOUTH!

We never taught him or even remotely thought of teaching him this. He carried the mail right up to us and "gave" it to my wife.

Wow, and I thought it was cool that we had recently taught him to "drop the ball. drop the ball" after he had retrieved it...what a proud pappa I am.
