One busy week down, another begins of two that have more going on than usual. Life continues to have moments of excitement in a house with a puppy. Friends came over for lunch today so I put all dogs in the yard and Cookie found a box to chew on the the garage that is full of those cornstarch packing peanuts. I looked out to see where she was and she popped out of the dog door in the garage with a chunk of cardboard and a peanut in her mouth. I rearranged the dog houses in there to block her from reaching the boxes any more. [sigh] The friends enjoyed meeting her, and saw the chaos that ensues when Zeke and Pepper are fetching and Cookie is let loose in the yard. Everything gets nuts.

The house got an adequate cleaning before today's event, but I still need to take apart my vacuum and clean out all of the filters, or take it over to the local repair place and let him do it. It works, just not as powerfully as it used to.
