Kids and Pups

Miriam is peeking through their crate slots.

She calls them "Samwise Gamgee Ellis" and

"Frodo Baggins Ellis" when they are in trouble.

We had a Lord of the Rings marathon after Christmas.

The names suit them perfectly.

Given their walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

or Mordor, it works.

Jared wrestling with Frodo and Sam

He has been a wonderful help taking some

shifts when I was to tired to carry on.

When Same was in hospital Frodo wrestled

Jared's hair. Jared slept with his head in the crate

to keep him company.

Arlene extremely pleased to have the

puppies asleep on her dress.

She mauls them the most.

We can't stand the dog smell.

Poor dogs. They get bathed more than usual.
