Varmints

Mary found a snail on the shoreline. Maybe this was the first time that she has ever been to a river. 

She tried playing with it and tried to see if it was alive or not.

She listened intensely for some response. My guess was that the snail was still alive.

Since Miniature Pinschers were bred to catch rats and other small varmints on German farms more than a hundred years ago, it's nice to see her display some of her natural instincts.
