A Case of the Giggles

Until yesterday, we'd only heard Mercy give a couple of small little giggles. That was before she discovered Moose, our chocolate lab. We have a toy for Moose, really it is more like torture for him, but he loves it. It is a kangaroo that punches and kicks when you turn it on. Moose goes nuts for it, trying to grab it and shake it before it punches or kicks him. He gets punched a lot, and it makes him grunt and growl and do all sort of acrobatics to get at it. Anyway, Mercy got to watch Moose playing with the kangaroo for the first time last night, and boy did she get a kick out of it! She laughed and laughed through the whole thing. It was so stinkin' cute! Now every time she sees Moose she breaks into a huge smile. I'm sure they'll be the best of friends in a couple of years.
