Following the Trail

I visited my sister today, and this is a common scene at her home… a trail of stuffed animals in various stages of fluff reduction.  The culprits are the family dogs Louie and Gracie.  These two goofballs spend a good bit of their days joyfully tugging, pulling, tossing, and blissfully mangling their toys.  The depleted shells are sent to the “infirmary” on a regular basis.  There, my niece restores the filling, sews them up, and returns them to service.  In their minds, it’s a good working relationship.
