Murphy loves to eat things off the ground outside. ~ his favorite things are sticks and pine cones.
He tries to smuggle in sticks/pinecones when he comes in. On occasion he has been successful in bringing in old leaves.
I am trying to teach him not to pick things off the ground to eat; but he is being stubborn and now has a 'chase me' game on the ready for when I see he has something in his mouth!
