OK, what's wrong with these pictures? Has Jack lost weight? Is it a trick teeter??? The answer to both is no!

Who can tell me how this happened?

sweetr72 · 10-11-2007, 01:17 PM

That is funny!! Do you know why this happened or is it a mystery to you also?

labrown · 10-11-2007, 01:18 PM

Well, it is hard to see in the picture, but it looks like the fulcrum of the board is too close to the side on the ground. If it isn't exactly in the middle of the board it won't tip. It is so dang cute!!!

Good theory, but WRONG! The teeter was functioning perfectly yesterday afternoon.

And, yes, I do know what happened.

Oh, you give up so easily! Any more guesses before I spill the beans?

Hint: The overnight low temperature was 19 degrees.

sweetr72 · 10-11-2007, 01:39 PM

Haha...it was frozen to the ground...clever!! I would have been guessing all night without that hint...forgot you were in Alaska hehe..

LOL, there was ice locking it??? maybe???

alaskayorkie · 10-11-2007, 01:44 PM

Yes, yes! Excellent deductions. I had to scratch my head for a second too. I guess there was just enough moisture in the air to freeze it in place.

Of course, as soon as 9-pound Eddie joined him, it was enough to break the ice. Too funny.

This is what my theory was going to be before you gave the hint:

It was left in that position and you had a "down pour" of rain like we get here in the great northwest of CA. There was so much rain and it puddled in the area where the teeter totter was touching the ground and the board absorbed lots of water and weighted that end down!

Ha, I like the way you think. My new theory is that Jack had a hand in it. Knowing that cold weather means moose in the backyard, he deliberately peed on the hinge so that it would freeze in place and he could climb up high enough to properly fight the mean moose.
