Hansel and Gretel.
Walking in the woods.
Marked their path.
With bread crumbs.
My brother Bruce lives next door. He went away for a week’s vacation. My mom and I promised to care for his dog Rufus while Bruce was away. With great joy, we always welcome Rufus into our home.
As much as Rufus enjoys our company, he loves his home next door. Each morning, my mom would let him out. He would walk to his home and rest there for the day. Each evening, I would go down to bring him up to our home. Each evening, Rufus would mark our path.
Rufus and Kim.
Walking on the farm.
Rufus marked their path.
With pee every 20 feet or so.
In exactly the same locations each night.
For four days straight.
Morale of the story: It never hurts to mark the path to travel home safely.
