Funny Story

This morning, Gir and I had (for me) a funny encounter. As we were going on our morning walk, a little white and black bird flew ahead of us on the path and started walking around. Gir went crazy! I had him on a leash so that he could not just run after the bird, but he sure tried. He pulled me right along the path and the bird kept walking up the path far enough that we couldn't get to it, but close enough to tease Gir. What a mean bird! Gir was panting and trying so hard to get that bird and I kept trying to calm him down and not be completely dragged by Gir. When we finally got close to the end of the trail, the bird flew off and we thought the teasing was over. Gir relaxed a bit, and we were able to have a nice pace again. Then, on our way back down, the bird struck again. Our trail is near a water treatment plant that has a chain-link fence facing our path with a concrete structure behind it. On our way back down the path, we could see the bird sitting on the concrete structure where Gir could see him. The bird was teasing us again!! When the path came close to the fence, the bird started walking along the concrete structure at the same pace that Gir and I were walking along the path. Poor Gir. He wanted to get that bird so bad, but now there was a fence blocking his path and the bird seemed to know it! Gir was much better this time and only stared at the bird walking with us while we were going. I was happy when we finally couldn't see it anymore and Gir wasn't being teased. Well, if nothing else, it was a good laugh for me and a good workout for Gir!
