The Scavenger Hunt

What will he find next?
Reacher loves to spend time in the great outdoors. And since he has been trained to the Invisible Fence he enjoys having the run of the front and back yards. In addition to digging holes, he spends lots of time nosing around in the pinestraw, through the ivy and under the bushes. As a result, he's unearthed many treasures.

In the daily scavenger hunt he's found an unbelievable number of balls that were given up for lost years ago. When my two boys were younger, many balls that were used in games of catch, homerun derby, wall ball and more went astray. While quite a few were retrieved from under the ivy an even greater amount just seemed to have disappeared. That is, until Reacher came along.

He's found tennis balls, racquetballs, baseballs, T-balls, whiffle balls and golf balls in various states of decay. He has also uncovered an empty bottle of Sunny Delight and a red Lego along with two dead mice. It's unclear what condition the mice were in when he came upon them, but they were definitely dead when he showed them to me.

At this point, I can't imagine there's much more to be found. But only Reacher knows for sure.
