Lil’ Duck, while at Grandma’s house this weekend, loves to play with her dog (much to the dog’s dismay, although she is quite tolerant of a toddler wagging her tail, offering her pretend tea, etc). The dog had retreated under the dining room table, probably for a moment of peace, while Lil’ Duck was running his usual circles around the house - hallway, kitchen, entryway, sitting room, great room, dining room, kitchen, hallway, entryway, sitting room, great room, dining room….

Then we hear the little voice proclaiming with great surprise:

“Grandma, there’s a DOG under your table!!!”
