Hi, everyone! We are trying to get the little ones to learn a lot of things while they are still young, so, sometimes, I might have them write a line or two. After all, I wrote a book when I was about 6 months old, and THAT takes a lot of work!

I talked it over with my Dad and we decided that the little ones needed to have a lot of stimulation for their little brains, so we came up with a Puppy Playground for them to play in during the daytime. They will also be using it to sleep in this weekend because Little Bear is coming down for the weekend, and Grammy is SOOOO HAPPY! He wasn’t allowed to stay here during the time we didn’t have running water. I don’t know why… Must be a people thing!

Anyway, Dad got two big boxes and put them together, then cut a puppy-sized door between them (so that they could learn about doggy doors. I don’t think they were to impressed when they first started to check it out…

Next, he put in steps for climbing, and made the big step into a short tunnel. (Oh, Dad says to apologize that it sounds like Darth Vader takes these pictures, but he thought you might like to hear the puppy sounds) They thought it was a bit more interesting, but still whined about not having enough to play on…

Then, their GrandPaw thought about trying to put in a Teeter-Totter. They thought that was interesting, but it was a bit short and didn’t work right. They had fun playing with it for a little bit, though.

Next, Dad put in bedding, a tent, and a swinging squirrel… never to young to learn to attack squirrels, after all! He also added a water bowl and food dish in the “Bedroom” side, and a couple of disks (for mirrors) in the playground side.

There is more, but this has to be short as Grammy has to get ready to leave to go on the long drive to pick up Little Bear, and I keep having to stop to break up Puppy fights… That Neelix and his A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E! He has gotten into fights with all three of his siblings during the time I’ve been trying to write this, and brought them to screams, except Grace who just got ticked and got in a BIG fight until he decided to leave HER alone. Good grief! Grammy finally put him in a time out in MY chair, which is my refuge from the little “land pirrahnas…” (said lovingly... sort of...)

Mercy ran to Grammy to be picked up and “saved.” She gave her totally enthusiastic kisses all over her face for saving her. Had Grammy totally giggling and sniffing up puppy breath by the lung fulls! She says she has to get in a lot of extra sniffs in for all her friends, who are lacking puppies… WHATEVER…

Either me or Mama OC will post the rest of the playground later. Have a great weekend!
