Ever since she was a puppy, Trix has been a helpful dog. She has done this thing for a while now where she takes the clean dry clothes out of the dryer (sometimes, sometimes not). It started when we washed some of her stuffed animals (they do become rather crusty, ya know). She was very concerned with what had happened to them, and I think she was so relieved to see they were ok, that she started picking them out of the dryer.
We have since been encouraging her to “help” with the laundry by having her pick socks and other small items out and giving them to us.
To her, it is a game which results in much praise. To us, it’s just really cute!
