My aunt and uncle have 3 dogs - Ned, Duff and Beh - 2 black labs and one yellow lab (though Tommy insisted she was white). My little boy was a true little boy runnng around with these dogs in the backyard, which he loved too, as it was all rocks.
My uncle was pretty impressed with Tommy being able to throw both lefty and righty. He also taught Tommy how to "mow the lawn" in Arizona - meaning rake the rocks. Tommy was a big help doing this, and even tried out the pooper scooper (minus the poop!) that they use for the dogs in the yard. My uncle said he was giving him a career test and determined that Tommy would make a good gardener! I sure hope that's true at least for next year when I need help in my garden out back!

| Tommy loved to laugh at the dogs in the midst of the craziness. I don't think they knew what to make of him when he did that! |
