Creativity and My Poor Baby Dog

Raif and Bailey have been playing pirates a lot lately. Probably due to the fact that they both like watching the new Disney show, "Jake and the Neverland Pirates." A show both of them can agree on watching together. Yesterday, Bailey asked me for some tape. I just gave it to her without asking what for. She's pretty good with stuff and knows where she can use it and where she can't. When I overheard, "hold still, Raif," curiosity got to me and I had to go and see what she was getting her little brother into. When I arrived, Raif held up his hand and said ,"Look, I Captain Hook!" The tape is securing on a salt shaker from her kitchen set. Pretty creative for a 5 year old!

Who needs a real hook when you can use a salt shaker!

Where's Lily?

My poor baby dog got an infected anal gland and had to have surgery on Wednesday (TMI, I know). She has been beside herself and is often found hiding wherever she can to escape the fact that she has a drain coming out of her bottom! If you enlarge the picture you can see she is hiding in one of the bags on the floor of our closet.

Just in case you didn't believe me, here is a close-up

I feel like she's auditioning for the part in E.T. where he hides in the middle of all the stuffed animals! Hopefully, she gets the drains out on Saturday.
