Ever since she was a puppy, Cookie always wanted to be around her Ellie. When Ellen would be in the kitchen working, Cookie would have to find someplace safe to keep out of the way. Usually, it would be under the table, but sometimes she'd find somewhere a little more secure.
Many, many years ago, my brothers & I used to play with those little, green army men. A few years ago, I came across the massive collection and decided to give them to my nephew. Ellen & I sat down at the kitchen table with colored pencils and a roll of brown wrapping paper and made our own camouflage pattern for the box.
