Today as we were working in the sugar woods high on the hill over the farm, the mail person went by without stopping.
Now normally this would only mean that we didn't have any mail, but on our farm, it caused a whirlwind of upset.
Rye started barking and Jax ran down the hill stopping heartbroken at the edge of the driveway, his tail and ears dropping with sadness.
He stood looking dejected and hurt as Rye whined sadly, bouncing up and down, barely resisting the urge to chase down the mail car.
The reason for this reaction is that our mail person spoils the pups with dog cookies.
They recognize the car and run to greet it with wagging tails and slobbering joy.
On this day, they speed past. It was amazing to me that the dogs knew it was the mail person. The road is not that close to the house. They knew without a boubt that their cookies were in that car.
I'm sure most people leave gift cards for coffee or a few bucks for the mail person at the holidays, we left dog cookies, well, we left some people cookies too. 😏
