leaving the puppies to snooze in the house

or out on the deck, bark at motorbikes and
trucks through the fence and get dozens

of toys out - spreading them from one end

to paddle in the creek or find their

balls or just to go and see what the
ducks were doing.

Others waited for the Dogparents to

get changed and come too. A second
pair of track pants met an untimely

fate before the Dogmother cottoned
on and stopped leaving them on the
blanket box at the end of the bed so

invitingly.
