I wish I could train the girls to take people's coats and purses. That would make them useful. Instead, they usually jump, bark and just generally do whatever they can to scare the guests.
All this waiting and greeting makes them pretty tired, and by the end of the evening, the girls are on the couch trying not to sleep. They don't want to miss something. What if some scrap of food falls on the floor and they miss it because there eye's are closed?
Here's a photo of Alley from Jeff's 40th birthday party Saturday. She really, really wants to stay awake, but she just can't.
