The Art of Determination

Last night, Mom and I took both the dogs for a walk around the neighborhood. I decided to let Mason have a break, and walk with just a leash and no harness since I know the route well. About half way through the walk, he tried to go in to the grass. I knew what he was going to do, and even though he wasnt working, I didnt want him to do it. I was trying to avoid having to carry the smelly bag for the rest of the walk. However, Mason decided that he was going to go whether I liked it or not. He made one last pull towards the grass. Once he was there, he lay down, stuck his tail up, and went. I had no idea that a dog could go in that position, but apparently he can. I guess he was trying to show me that he has enough determination to do what he wants when he chooses to do so.
