When I talked with Alec, he said he was absolutely sick of cleaning the bathrooms by himself. I’m not sure he regrets deciding to DIY his own chores, but I’m guessing he does.

The puppies are feisty and busy, as good puppies should be.

Bernerd’s not having an easy time at school, but he’s doing his best.

He and Romana both have colds. I’m hoping they keep those to themselves this weekend!

Mostly, though, I hope it’s nothing contagious and that they’ll be okay.

Bernerd said that he went to the Pet store immediately after school.

He’d come home to find that the puppies had grown into four identical adults,

so he got them color-coded collars.

Duneyrr also grew older today, and the guys were a little sad they hadn’t thrown a woofum birthday party.
