To celebrate the autumnal equinox, White Dog invented a game with the leaves that have begun falling from the big tree in the yard.

She sits under the tree, waiting...watching with rapt concentration. When a leaf flutters loose she leaps and spins in an attempt to catch it midair. Failing that, she pounces when the leaf lands and runs around the yard with the prize in her teeth.

Finally, White Dog returns to sit under the tree awaiting her next "victim."



*Aside: White Dog is nine months old today!
