I kept hearing bumping and banging while I was on the computer...

...so I figured I'd better take her outside before she tears up the house. First off she decided to help with the leaves:

Then she took a look at the cement tortoise shoe scraper to make sure it was ok:

Some of the tortoises had knocked off a few potted plants and broke the pots, so I was re-potting them and Misty had to check to make sure I wasn't tossing anything important:

And while I was busy with that, she took the baster that I use to water seedlings and gave it a good once-over:

"I wonder if I can catch that gold fish..."

I got about 8 or 10 of these:

Before I was finally able to figure out the click on the camera and get this:

Going into the Aldabra pen to see if there was any poop to pick up.


Now she's quietly laying at my feet, amidst all the chewed up cardboard from earlier today, dreaming about what kind of mischief she can get into:

Gotta love the way they help. Always keeping us on our toes, making sure our minds and bodies stay sharp and does not get to rest to long:) They are so darn cute and the problem is they know it:D

Tom, I was just about to say that! One of the hardest things about working at a petstore is trying to convince people that the only way they are going to be able to stop their puppy chewing up their house when they are away is to crate... most either say "I've heard this bitter spray really works" and something along the lines of "but I don't want to crate my BABY!" So frustrating :p

Misty is very cute though... obviously very helpful as well. Not much of a puppy anymore, though!!!

My helpers, Olive and PUCK, are mostly Labrador rescues ... they always have lots of advice on my driving.

Mostly though, they snooze on the couch.

Olive sometimes wonders if Darwin, my redfoot, would be tasty ... PUCK does not.

Olive's sometimes a little Chewie ... [emoji23]
