Photo quiz: what is littleJ standing on?

Little blue lizard

As I suggested .................

 

......................... I took Momsy for a brisk walk this cool morning. Walking is fine for me, but I can make Momsy run. All I have to do is grab her keys and go the other way. She has to run to catch me. But, soon I'll be able to run, and she'll have to pick up the pace.  See you ......... Jasper.

Just another teaching.................

.................... opportunity for me to show Momsy the proper way to brush teeth. It's really important to maintain good dental health, so I just wish she would take it more seriously and not giggle when I'm demonstrating. When we're done I'll take her for a walk --- maybe.
