splish, splash, spelunk

Little helper boy was tentative at first about the idea of joining his dad deep down in the yucky dungeon that is the crawl space under our house this past rainy weekend. But in no time did tiny chumley decide that this low dark location was exactly his cup of tea, the kind of thing his little stubby legs were meant to help him explore. And so after a brief check on his dad to make sure he didn't need any help reconnecting the dryer vent, the little kielbasa wandered off, trotting here and there for a good sniff and jumping over pipes and shimmying under other pipes.  All because he could, and all because his little legs let him. 

ooooh, i really like it down there. may we go back again sometime? asked my little happy friend when he emerged back into daylight.

"Well, I daresay we may need to again sometime, and when we do, you can be the lucky boy who brings dad his flashlight next time," said I as we walked away from the entrance so Big Boyfriend could finish the job in peace. "Deal?"


yip yip hooray! his eyes did glint as we shook paws on it, and bounded off into the backyard in search of another adventure.

I never liked getting wet, so that's not a spot for me. You're a good helper, Baxter.
