She has discovered a new game that she uncovered last night. Yesterday was laundry day and there was a pile to get through. As I kept dumping warm clothes from the dryer on the bed, Pippi would find ways to tunnel through them. Folding the towels and blankets would often find a kitty claw snagged on one end. I told her once that she wasn’t helping, but she just looked at me with her lazy eye and blinked as if to say; “No mom, you are wrong. I help you a lot!”

There was an empty laundry basket at my feet and her ping pong ball was on the bed. She swatted it and it landed in the basket. She dove after it and spent the remaining hour leaping in and out of the basket playing catch the ball. I managed to fold the rest of the clothes without her “help” and get them put away.

Every day she faces, we both gain a better understanding of each other and what is possible with a little faith. Corrie Ten Boom once said; “Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable and receives the impossible.” This morning as I watch her take up the game again, I wonder if she is really sick- and I find my smile again.

Michael swears that while he was in the doctor’s office and puppy was in the truck alone- puppy was well-behaved and didn’t chew anything! I think Mike needs new glasses!
