Puppy!!

We have a puppy that comes to visit sometimes. And sometimes he brings a friend or two. They're very good puppies because they know the rule - only nice puppies are allowed in the house. Any puppy that's too noisy, or growling, or playing too rough has to go outside, and they REALLY don't want to go outside. A typical conversation in our home goes something like this...
  "Aww you're such a good puppy! I love you puppy!   Archer, work on your homework, please. Shelly, go clean up your room. No licking the walls puppy!"

My friendly little puppy follows me around as I work in the kitchen, then the bedroom, he tries to entice Archer and Shelly to play but sometimes... Well, "I don't want to play puppy right now E." He steadfastly continues on, no care for sore knees or crumbs from the floor sticking to his hands. He loves the little pats and cuddles he gets from me, so the game goes on.
