MOM, you're perilously close to the bottom this afternoon. Come on over to the shady spot in the yard to sip tea and watch the dogs. You can tell Amos about how pleasant it is to live with several dogs (you need more than one so they have companionship). You don't need to mention that this morning as I finished scooping poop through the yard I found that in the last five minutes of my work all three dogs made more deposits I had to go back for. I guess I gave them the idea.
