A balancing act

Each time Sweetie brings us to the park to play, there seems to be a mad rush to get to the big rock. Many of the boys have an odd ritual that I haven't fully understood. They run up alongside the rock, throw one leg high in the air, then pee... a little. This continues as they follow each other around the rock, trying to mimic the boy in front of them. I'm not sure but I believe there may be a contest to see how high they can stretch their leg.

One day while playing with Layla in the backyard, my mind drifted to the boys at the rock. I decided to see how high I could lift my leg. It wasn't easy! I eventually found a small tree that I could lean up against to help me maintain my balance. I peed a little to see what all that fuss was about, but still, the act was lost on me. I figured that peeing must help me keep equilibrium as part of the balancing act.

I turned to see Sweetie and Babe watching; their smiles beaming from ear to ear. It was as if they were proud that I could stand on three legs. That was it! The boys did it to impress their pets! Sweetie and Babe cheered me on as I pranced around the yard, practicing my three-legged stance at difference trees. I even tried to do it near the garden. Babe didn't like that. Not sure why. Eventually, I had no pee left to help me balance, so I headed up the stairs to be greeted by two very proud fans.

I've recently started working on balancing on two legs (without peeing). I even tried using Babe to lean on when I practice but he didn't like that. (I think it's because he's jealous that I'm almost as tall as him.) But I'll keep trying when he's not looking.
I want Sweetie and Babe to be proud, so I've decided to practice while leaning on the counter tops in the kitchen. I've been amazed at all the good stuff up there! Ooooh... Bread! They must have forgotten to tell me......
