The Bench
Ever since Dave brought home the bench that sits in our front window, the dogs have taken it over as their own. The bench is perfect height for them to look out our front window and survey everything going on in their territory. It also has two comfy cushions, one for each of them. Everything was right with the world...until Carter decided he wanted to climb up on the bench and claim it for himself. This happened last week and the dogs are still trying to understand when the power shifted in our family.
Carter has mastered the "bench climb" and LOVES to get up there every chance he can get. He's taken a couple spills off of it, but has quickly learned about gravity. Now he can sit up there for hours and play with toys or just look out the window. This is all much to the dogs' dismay. Shady especially gets quite annoyed with Carter when he butts into her area, she jumps down and hides under the dining room table to pout.

Working hard...
Almost there... 
Ta da!
He would sit up there for hours if we would let him.
Here are the dogs trying to cope with their new neighbor...neither seem ecstatic. Maisy has lost her cushion completely.
Carter is eyeing Shady and her content position...
He decides he wants that cushion instead.
Playing nice...some of the time.

We're anxious to see our little climber at his FIRST birthday party this Saturday! It's great Shady and Maisy are letting Carter be the "Big Dog" and share their bench with him.
Hugs to all the Bench Sitters,
Grandpa Bob and Grandma Phyllis
This is the cutest post ever!! Poor Maisy has no cushion anymore. Maybe Grandma B. will make her one? : )
