The lost rings

Bogie's new favorite toy is 3 interlocking rubber rings.  He likes to fetch them.  He swings them from side to side, hitting himself on the shoulders like a ninja with nunchunks. 

This morning we played with them for a while. He stopped to rest and I went inside the house for a moment. I came back outside and we couldn't find the rings. He helped me look for the rings outside and in the house.  

Finally I remembered I had heard him getting a drink of water from the outside bucket. 

He'd gotten a drink and dropped the rings in the bucket. 

And forgot. 

He seemed just as surprised as I was to see them.
