Busyness Helpers

Hu-Dad was concentrating really hard at his desk yesterday so Roscoe and Typhoon decided to be busyness helpers for a day.

We’ll warn our fine readers that you may be shocked—shocked—at Hu-Dad’s reaction to our resident business helpers. They saw the Hu-Dad hunched over his keyboard concentrating intently on the screen. Roscoe and Typhoon decided that was the perfect time to break into a rousing game in the study.

The office help moved in front of the desk and continued the show.

Here’s the part that you might find difficult to believe. Hu-Dad suggested that maybe—just maybe—they weren’t being as helpful as they imagined. Of course, we know he’s wrong because he stopped looking at the computer screen and grabbed the camera instead. See how we helped him get things done!

Time out called for something interesting on the floor.

    I’ve seen you walking 4 dogs. I’m fairly new to the site. Who are the other 2 dogs?
