If puppies are anything like kittens (or at least, if this puppy is like my kitten) running into things is half the fun. I assume that's the motive anyway. Othello tends to run into nearly everthing, sometimes twice.

Sometimes, we will hear a melifluous CLANG from the kitchen as a cat runs into the bin. To be precise, as Parsley runs into the bin. No, to be really precise, as Parsley once again forgets that his stopping distance on lino is non-zero and slides into the bin.

Aw. That's a wonderful visual.

Well, yes, the bamboo flooring in the bedroom doesn't help Othello any ;-) But it hasn't encouraged him to slow down.
