One Man's Tool Is Another Dog's Pleasure

It was windy today, but warm, so we were outside taking down the remaining Christmas decorations.
One of Rooty's favorite toys is the shovel. I don't know why. He plays with it vigorously. He digs in its blade. He spins it around. He turns it over and over with his nose. He chews on its handle. He runs with it in his mouth, somehow always grabbing it at its center of gravity.
