she's strong, but she's exhausted.

"No! I CAN DO IT MY OWN SELF!" Lily shrieked. The poor pup worked herself to exhaustion trying to make some roller blades so she could skate with the other dogs. Unfortunately, she was a dog, had no tools, and had no opposable thumbs. And "the other dogs" she wanted to skate with were kids from the neighborhood whose parents put the childrens' rollerblades on for them.
Yes, I could have gotten Lily skates and put them on her, but she isn't allowed outside of the backyard, so it would have really just been cruel, wouldn't it? Besides, if I had done that, she wouldn't have given up on the skates and built that helicopter instead.
