then today we went to visit some friends up the street. tyco was actually ok off leash in their backyard. but apparently he wanted to help some with recycling there too. we looked over and tyco let out a whimper and started running around the patio with the green recycling bucket attached to his collar. tyco was scared to tears and we dissolved into laughter as all the plastic bottles from the earlier birthday party spilled all over the patio. so nice of him to offer to help. they rewarded him with a leftover hamburger from the party. nice guy.
here's a recent touched up photo of tyco looking 'blue' on the deck. i have no recycling ones yet but i'm sure i'll get the chance for some soon.
