Tug of War

 We've been keeping 2 of my DD's doggies for the past 12 days because they went on a cruise. This is the youngest Kane who is about 5 months old and very playful. He loves playing with the knotted rope in the bottom photo. It's kind of distorted because he's in the trampoline with the boys. He'll play tug of war and he also loves to play keep away with it. LOL

To a very special

The greatest of gifts
That life can bring."
