Day 17 26 Toys

There are 26 toys in the toy box (Mom counted...and she thinks that's about 20 toys too many!) and we always want the same one. Not that we always play with the same toy, but the three of us chase one another around because we want to the one that the other one has.  Then someone gets a new one and we all want that one.

Some days the toys look like this; mostly all in the box.  The toy box is looking a bit worse for wear, but I've had this toy box since I was a little puppy and sometimes I like to chew on the sides.  Usually when I'm frustrated because I'm not getting my way.  Mom says better my toy box than the coffee table so she lets me carry on my merry way.   Mom thinks this picture was taken when Lola was still here.  I was feeling frustrated when she was here and spent a lot of time chewing on the box.

Usually the toys look more like this...and this is just one room!  Rascal, Beebee and I are pros at dragging the toys all over the house.  Beebee has also decided that she likes the kindling sticks by the fireplace (because there aren't enough toys?).  Can you see it in the middle of the floor?  They've all been put away now.  Mom says little pieces of wood aren't good for Beebee's belly.  Plus if Beebee gets to chew on sticks then we should all get to chew on sticks and Mom says she's not cleaning up our mess.




So this is what we've been keeping busy with during the cold weather.  Also, Beebee has picked up some of the house guarding duties.  She's a really louder barker when she puts her mind to it so she's good at alerting when a stranger is near.
