Keegan does the same thing!!! She thinks she has hit the JACKPOT when she gets a stick. I remember when she was like 9 weeks old we were at my parents house and she was running across the yard stopped grabbed a stick about 5 feet long and came flying up across the yard to my dad. She thought she had done something good. She was just a weeee little fart. And it was like 10x bigger then she was.
I try to take them from her when she does it.
No clue why she does it.
