Rocky Christmas Tree, Bella And The Ironing Board

First I put the green pot in the larger pink pot.

Then I surrounded the green pot with rocks.

Next I placed rocks around the Christmas tree trunk.

Then I put water in the green pot.

Next I picked the whole thing up and carried it into the house.

That's when I hurt my back.

Why did I carry that heavy pot and tree?

I think I had rocks in my head.

The rocks do hold up the tree.

My back is much better.

We'll decorate the tree in a few days.

This is Bella,

my sister's little dog.

What's this?

I think, Bella, would like my sister to move

so she wouldn't have the ironing board in her face.

Can I do this?

Bella is adaptable.

Ahh... sweet sleep!

Bella is a sweet little dog

and she got along with Morgan very well.
