Sighting

We used to spend a LOT of time at Sea World.

We had annual passes for YEARS!

One of the things we loved there,

were the dolphins.

We learned that the dolphins

will do a jump up above the water,

then deep dive,

and then jump for whatever the trainer

is holding up for them.

They called that original jump

a sighting jump.

I have noticed that my little dog,

Roxie, hops like a rabbit.

She is FAST, but she does a lot of hopping.

I thought it was because our grass was 

desperately in need of cutting.

Last night I was walking back to the

back gate to deliver the week's eggs.

Rox was in the back of the property

and when I called her she started 

running up to meet me.

She came around the corner,

did a giant leap up into the air,

and then headed in at a dead run.

I realized she's so short, she has to do

a sighting jump to see what she is

running towards!

So maybe she's not a rabbit.

Maybe she's a dolphin????
