Last Action Hero

Here we are on the flip side of another litter. This morning Odie, Gracie(was Elsa), and Hunter went off to start their own lives. They disassembled a pile of newspaper in my livingroom and then one by one they were carried away. Front are Hunter, Gracie, Archer and in back is Odie.
Archer, alone at last, looked a little forlorn. He tried to find comfort in Leeloo and of the three adult dogs she was most obliging. Raimi sees a usurping punk, Halo sees another clingy Boy but Leeloo simply expects adoration and handles it with aplomb when she gets it.
Of course, no puppy can stay sad for long and like all the resident Ridgebacks he has quickly fallen under the Leeloo spell. Halo is less than enthused another one is staying(possibly with vague hope he won't be as clingy as the last puppy who stayed) but with a stern command from me, "It won't kill you to comfort him" she allowed him to sleep next to her for the evening. And word from Missy who arrived safe and sound in Yellowknife, that's in the North West Territories for those who can't remember grade 5 Social Studies - and yes I had to look it up. I hear Missy will be adventuring all summer with hiking and camping and soaking up the 24 hour sun. Good thing too ... Ridgeback's need for a lot of Vitamin D if you know what I mean!
