A boy and his Dogs

Sometimes when we are cooking or cleaning in the kitchen we keep Jack out so that we can get something done. He usually only makes a mess, but there is occasional outright destruction. Often, he wades through the wagging tails and makes his way to the gate to talk to Mom and Dad. The dogs usually want in also, and this makes for some comical scenes as two black heads and one peeping baby crowd the gate. Note the blue dog. Are you seeing a pattern here?
