The other day, the pizza delivery man thought that the pug garden statue on our front porch was a real dog and hesitated to pull into the driveway. Mary would have had a good belly laugh for sure.

 Even when she was little, Mary loved pugs

& always got excited when she saw the one on our paper route. She got herself a stuffed toy one (or maybe we gave it to her for a birthday present?) and later a garden statue/lawn ornament.

I’m thankful that I was able to capture Mary laughing in this impromptu magic show with her brother:

Mary and Levi take a break from getting-ready-to-move chores to have a little fun.
