Ellie and the boys helped load up the week's garbage in the truck and take it to the dumpster. Hope the garbage truck gets to it before the bear does! That darn bear went after a Doritos bag during the week--I thought I'd only put out wastebasket garbage, but McKenzie had some goodies in hers.... So we had stuff strewn around the dumpster. The good thing was, he also took out a pair of shorts and a shirt that had fallen into Geoff's wastebasket in the closet by mistake. That's the second time the bear has helped out. Last summer, Andy threw away a plate that he'd chipped, and the bear licked it clean and left it for me to find. Now it's the "bear plate", and back on the shelf.
So Ellie's breakfast consisted of a couple of trout, 2 slices buttered wheat bread, and (yea!) she finally ate a little dry puppy food. Last night she polished off two steaks and bread. The night before last she woke me at 1 in the morning and led me to the fridge for 2 bowls of vanilla ice cream, bread and butter, and a home baked granola cookie. But she was so content after breakfast this morning. She got right back into the whelping box and lay her head on Kirby, the big apricot, as they all nursed.
