Tornado loves to take pictures with our camera. So this morning MOMMY lost her camera and enlisted Tornado’s help in finding which he did….for his reward this is what he got to do Take some pictures..This one is of our den we are remodeling…AND his fingers!! Mommy searched and and low but with no luck found it so when mommy went out to the truck this morning to look for something else Tornado spied it hanging just where mommy left it hanging on the outside doorknob…he was standing on the porch proud as a peacock when I turned the corner!
