Dogs and traditional knives

[Will Power]

There has been a lot of "infrastructure improvement" projects in my part of town over the past 5 years, and they're still going on in various surrounding neighborhoods this spring and summer. Here's our dog Gandalf wishing he could use heavy equipment to do some of his important digging a couple of years ago when they were repaving the street at the end of the alley that runs next to our house.

But, the burning question is. "Did he jump or was he placed? " Then there's The Lamb of Damocles hanging over all.....

Gandalf has that pondering/wisdom type look on his face as if he's thinking "If only I could, but since I can't, I can only instruct, I can not force"...

Awesome pic

Thanks, Zach; Gandalf often acts as if he's some kind of Zen master.
Will, my wife took the original photo, and I think she placed Gandalf atop the tire. Even as he nears 15 years of age, he's a pretty good jumper, but he can't jump that high! I suppose if he really wanted to get himself on the tire, he could have gone up the stairs to get to the entrance to the cab, jumped onto the black fender thing to get above the tire, and then jumped down onto the top of the tire.
As for the lambsfoot, I added that after my wife sent me a copy of the photo; she was not happy that I placed it in what she considered a menacing position over his head.
