For those fans of the older dog “Aunt Mariposa”. Most of the time she is more like an older sibling, watching the two younger ones tumble about, looking down on them as if she is to mature, but secretly wishing she could join in the fun. Then when she finally decides to join in, they take off running, cautiously coming back out when they think the coast is clear again.I got these pictures after stepping out of the room, to retrieve the boy, who had decided that the gate looked more like a challenge course wall than a barrier. Just this morning he has learned to go over it, much faster than I can get out of my chair and pluck him down.
