Stair-climbing

Nothing is more fascinating than a puppy at play, especially when the puppy is a genetically engineered government prototype capable of understanding several languages and programmed with math and science skills that I can only imagine.

Of course, right now he is trapped in a body that has been on earth only for a few days, and it's understandable that physical tasks--like climbing up our stairs--can be a challenge, despite his obvious mental agility. Just for fun, I thought I'd give him a chance to try it on his own, though I stupidly neglected to remove the rug first, causing him to slip and slide and lose his footing and then cuss at me in what I believe was Hindi.
