Gaining traction

Hi Eve,

I think we overdid it today. With amazingly warm (25 degrees above normal!) temperatures, I let poor Marshal play a bit too much in the 70 degree weather. Here is an airborn Paisle--when she left the ground M had not yet moved, so I am amazed there was no mid-air collision:

So here is the young man, worn our by Paisle but still alert in case someone (Ansel? Paisle?) decides to continue the play mode:

And now I promise this is not a staged photo! I came into the office, to see the young man sound asleep (he still snores reliably), with his face pushed fully under these two toys--the Galileo and the red Kong. I don't recall placing them on this bed he's occupying, so it may be that he carried them here himself, before falling asleep underneath them. So, now, is he protecting his toys, or are his toys protecting him...?
