Adorable!
As an avid animal lover (I have kitties - they won't let me get a puppy dog - sigh.... maybe one day!) I loved reading about the latest addition to your furry family and seeing the photos.
How wonderful to know that you are so well protected and looked after!
Got a good laugh about the paper towels. I too am familiar with that game - one of my kitties shreds them to his hearts delight - what a mess but it is pure joy that I can rarely derail.
Happy painting and playing with puppies (no matter their age)!
