Our 2 darling grand puppies

This is my darlingest shot of Pepper, taken when she was about 6 months old. How can you resist that face? A lovable bundle of fur, she is a real doll. Pepper loves Caitlin very much and is a very good big sister; lying near the playgym on the ground, watching her, but not disturbing her toys. She climbed up on my lap yesterday while Caitlin was on it too (we were reading Snow White), and sat there patiently, while Caitlin exercised her motion skills of reaching out and tugging at her fur. Caitlin loves her to bits and keeps calling for her. The affinity between child and pet is very evident.

And not to be outdone - Dolce has also worked her way into our hearts with her big eyes and sad face. She sits next to Grandpa with her well-practised Tom Dooley look. This little minx of brown fur is saying "Sorry, Grandpa". Grandpa, as of this morning, went to work wearing shoes with no laces. He had just one last lace that had not yet been chewed by Dolce, and as he tied the knot, it came loose in his hands. And - she did not get rid of the evidence!
