Last night, between baking cookies, playing with chalks, hopscotch, Old Maid, rainbow (princess) dust, and pasta necklaces.  Emma says to me, "Let's play Hide the Lion."  What?  Trouble is sleeping calmly because I took him around the track with Emma.  Later Emma gave up running, so its me, the rope attached to Trouble and Emma in the stroller.  Trouble is exhausted, luckily I am not. 

Hide the Lion is where, you put Trouble underneath a blanket, he goes 'hides' and will growl if you can't find him.  Now, Trouble is the size of a twin bed and is as tall as a doorway, when on his back hind legs.  As I am so tempted to witness this game-I decide against it.  I still have visions of my camera flying around my neck landing next to me in the sand, as giant chewbacca tackles me (more about the cleaning of my camera).  Many have asked me, where is Trouble during the day?  Trouble goes to 'big dog' daycare, where he has the option of running around on three plus acres.  When I pick him up, he looks directly at me and Emma, and says-Game On. 

Latest treats (but not chewed):  Barbie bus, claimed my blanket, and my suitcase.
