So you know how in the movies the mail man drops mail through the front door? That's totally a real thing! No walking to the mailbox here! The mailman comes everyday and drops the mail through the slot in the front door.
The slot is just big enough to slide the mail through and has like a guard inside to prevent someone from getting their hand through.
When the mail comes through you can hear the metal flap clank, and the mail just hangs from the door. This morning when it came through Murphy started barking and ran downstairs. He doesn't normally do this when the mailman comes, so I went downstairs to check. I saw him propped up on the door sniffing the mail, so I pointed to it.
The mailman came by twice today, so we got to practice our new trick! When I pointed to the mail, Murphy took it out of the slot and began walking away! I am sure his intent was not to bring it upstairs to me, but when I saw him grab it I figured it would be easy enough to teach him!
He followed me upstairs with the mail in his mouth the entire time.
When we got to the living room he didn't necessarily want to spit it out.
With a little convincing I was able to take it from him without any damage done to the mail. How cool to have puppy who can actually bring you the mail!! Yay Murphs!!!
