Prompt:Rost was out for a morning walk when he saw it. A tall pine tree had fallen across his usual path. It must have been knocked down by the winds the other day that had had him constantly shaking dust and grit out of his ears and fur. The tallest gap closer to the stump
was big enough for him to go under, but Rost wanted to go another way. He wanted to go over. He could also have picked a shorter spot, but he wanted to go over the tallest part.
His first jump sent him back to the ground after a rather unceremonious smack into the trunk. His second ended about the same. Over and over he threw himself at the tree, but kept falling short. He came back the next day, and the next. Once he got so close her had to scramble to try and get over the top, but his claws couldn't grip well enough and he fell once again. A lesser hound (and maybe a more intelligent one) would have turned back, or gone under, but Rost was not backing down.
It was close to a week when finally,
finally he found himself sailing over the top, only to have his rear foot catch on the trunk and send him head-over-heels towards the ground on the other side. He may have a headache now, but he'd done it! He barked and howled excitedly and he went back and forth under the tree. With another jump, he managed to land himself on top of the trunk and continued his noise making. The tree may be tall, but now he was taller.
