a pail of puppies

The pups are oh so helpful when I clean the floor. They grab a corner of the mop or the fresh newspaper and try to run away with it. With them confined in the bucket, my chores go smoothly.

Having the freedom to move and explore they like to look through the gate to see their mommy. Several new kong toys replaced the nylabones that Lizzy stole, but they still would rather chew on each other.

Axel and Lucy are amazed by the washing machine.

Kristen and Mike: the cake still tastes great!
