Sometimes the best form of assistance is to make someone giggle:

Mac being a doofus--one of the things he is best at!

Sundin "I'll let you pet me if you smile, lady.First I have to finish chewing this ball up though" Sundin is a chewer, always has something in his mouth. (Sundin had some breakthroughs that I haven't posted about either, I'll do that soon too.)

"Sing with me, lady, it's fun!"

Goofy Franklin..."A good game of bark & chase will take your mind of everything, Mom."

Such good little helpers!
