Jakey, Jakey...

I just went up stairs to get a glass of water and noticed this sight...

That is the baby Meyer Spruce sapling that I described in the post from two days ago. I had brought the trees indoors for the night because of the cold weather (although I don't know if that is necessary or not...they are trees after all!) and apparently Jake thought it looked like a fun thing to carry around in his mouth so he pulled it out of the pot and carried it around in his mouth.  Poor tree!  I have replaced it in the pot so hopefully it will be fine. 

Why would a dog want to carry a tree with needles around in their mouth?!  It was kind of strange...Andrea has plants all over the house and he ignores them.
