Pepper Had The Zoomies -- Shadow Tried To Keep Up! [View all]

Our Granddog Pepper's here visiting. She's two years old with more energy than the Energizer Bunny.

She loves to "help" Laurie with tasks.

Yesterday she and Shadow romped around in recently fallen snow.

Occasionally they may have a difference of opinion.

But then the chase is on.

Shadow thought she'd catch up to Pepper on the porch —

but Pepper pulled a U-Turn. The chaser became the chasee.

The girls met back on the porch. Called it a draw.

Came inside to be warm and dry.

Good Girls. A puppy with pep ~

and an 8 1/2 year old puppy at heart.
