I Couldn't Get the Camera Fast Enough!

While writing a conversation between an angry military man and a missionary, I was deep in thought....with both eyes closed.  Just as with toddlers, when puppies are too quiet, it usually spells trouble....and it did!

I write about the dogs a lot because they are a source a constant amusement and a reminder to not take myself too seriously.  As I was pondering how a missionary who was briefly given permission to speak...would speak, Nico's nose was buried deep into a flower pot of newly planted morning glory sprouts. 

As I opened my eyes, he put his front paws on my knees and rubbed his muddy nose on my pants...but not before looking straight into my eyes and showing me a baby morning glory hanging out of the corner of his mouth.



You can almost see the mud on his whiskers and the sprout in his teeth! Guess which one is Nico!

 Now I know I am supposed to be upset and correct him....but all I could do was laugh, and try to grab the camera. Then I put him outside, cleaned up and got back to the conversation at hand grateful to know that silence is not always golden with puppies or a missionary.
