Head Lamps!

Are very useful devices...

Or how to remove the something that was on his head!

Gave us some giggles...:) :)

Helping

The neighbors are working on their yard...

Spike really wanted to help...but felt shy about asking.

He decided to walk next door to watch...

soon...he had a task...and joy!They even paid him a bit!...

though the reward was in the doing!
