Fun under the stump

Every evening after the pups have dinner, we get to explore.  Last night I let them 'find' the stump with a 'den'.  It was so fun to watch them figure it out and realize that "this is cool!"  They dug in the sand, chewed on the stump, made the hole bigger for an exit out the other side, ran in and out, found stuf to carry in Etc...Ponyo went in and just stayed.  She really just seemed to be happy that she found a neat new place.  First thing she did was stick her nose deep into the cool sand...wish I managed to get that pic.
