    Supervising is boring....

    I spent most of the day doing a major cleaning in Raven's pen--cleaning that included a chainsaw and resulted in a very large pile of stuff to be burned! I had three little supervisors helping out, three bored supervisors.
    Deuce:

    "Are you going to do anything else besides rake?"
    Antare:

    "I'm having a nap. Wake me up if something exciting happens?"
    Raven:

    "Are we going to do something fun soon?"

    They did get more involved when I moved their doghouses. One of them is now part of the burn pile, much to Deuce's dismay.

    "what do you mean this dog house is no good anymore? Who needs a roof??"

    Raven retreated to the "Husky Barn". Like I could move that thing even if I did want to!

    Pacer watched from the roof of his dog house, one pen over!

    I get about that much "help" when "we" all go out to do yard work.

    Just where is Duce doing his supervising from?
    Looks like he's on the second floor porch of a Tree House.

    Now you'd think that with all their talent for digging and pulling, the least they could do is lend you a paw! Pacer looks very happy- maybe he's happy you were in the next pen over and not messing up his house!

    Deuce is on the top step of the play tower:

    He's always on the tower! Gives him a good view of his territory.

    They're all in training to be what Bostonians refer to as "city workers."

    My dogs are jealous, they have to share the big wood swing set with the kids to get a "play tower". What lucky dogs to have so much room just for them!

    Yes, It appears that your dogs are just getting bored with the weather!!!

    They would rather see lots of SNOW, indeed!!!!

    But, I have to agree , They are soooo lucky to have you and Stuart as their owners. Small wonder that they bark and howl when you get out their sled gear!!!

    Well yes, supervision is a tough job, but someone's got to do it!

    I wish my bosses at work were half as laid back.
