Helping Dad Roof the Barn

It's a hot day today in Connecticut and we've been helping dad roof his barn - well, we haven't really been up on the roof with him but there's lots to do on the ground!
Dad started by ripping shingles off the roof and tossing them on the ground. We're part of the ground team helping mom pick them up and bag them! Look at all these tasty shingles!
Mitch is checking them out deciding which ones he needs to steal and chew on!

Don't worry - mom's being a meany and not letting us eat any. If anything - Mitch is learning "leave it" real good!

Here's Mitch inspecting the nail magnet. Mom wants to make sure that we get all of the nails up off the grass and in the driveway so we don't roll over any of them with any tractors or cars and puncture tires!

Here's a shot of dad and Uncle Bob up on the roof. You can see what a big job they have ahead of them. This barn is 75 feet long!

We got bored with all of the heavy duty work after awhile so we played a friendly game of tug!

I think I can safely say that Mitch won the tug game! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Mom went inside for a bottle of water and came back with a treat to share with each of us. She told us that we had to do a trick for this treat! Okay - we're game!

Mom asked me to do a "down" and I did a high five and then a down! I think I deserved two treats but mom only brought out two cookies!


Now it was Mitch's turn for his treat! Check out this humongous foot! OMG one paw is as big as his whole head!



Well - break time is up! Time to get back to helping mom pick up shingles!

Till next time.................

Love ya lots,
