Playing in the leaves

Posted by Francesca

Who doesn’t love playing in a big pile of dry and fluffy leaves?  It’s so much fun and I feel sorry for dogs who live where no leaves fall.  Sharkey and I discovered some really big piles the other day and jumped right in.  One thing’s for sure – while playing, it’s really important to pay attention to what’s going on around you.

1 Look Sharkey - it's one of those things they call a leaf blower. That can only mean one thing at this time of year - fluffy, dry leaves!

2 See? What did I tell you? Let's go leaf diving!

3 Oh, this is so much doggone fun!

4 Sharkey, if you're trying to hide, you need to do a much better than that - you're sticking out like one big Q-tip!

5 Not good enough - I can still see you Sharkey!

6 What's up, Sharkey? Is everything OK? Why do you look so concerned?

7 OMG!! A giant leaf sucker! We need to get out of here FAST!!!

8 Phew! Shaun to the rescue!

9 Why Shaun - Is there still time to play?

10 Good thing we were so gallantly rescued. We might have been sucked right up with all those leaves!

Thirsty

Recently, on a bright and sunny day, Francesca and I were frolicking outdoors when we suddenly realized that we were very thirsty. We didn’t want to go all the way back to the house for a drink so, I came up with a plan. I remembered how Shaun, the gardener was using a hose to water the plants and how that hose was attached to a standpipe. It just so happened that there was a similar standpipe where we were playing and I decided to check it out.

1 So Franny - I think this thing is called a spigot. I'm going to turn it and see what happens.

2 Well Sharkey, it looks like water.

3 I think it is water.

4 It smells like water.

5 You're right - it is water!

6 Sharkey, you had a really good idea. This is quenching.
