Mark and Miley were headed out the boat for the day. It was wet outside, so Jenny was scared she would step in a puddle and Sparky had no interest in getting his fur dirty, even if he and Mark could play ghost in a realistic setting. Jenna let them go alone, since they were almost eight weeks old and would play responsibly. Jenna and her other pups would walk out to the door with them. Miley noticed that her mother still hadn't taken off the blanket bandana from the rainy day before. She and Jenny exchanged a wink, proud of their work. "Hey, Mom, look!" Mark said, excited. "It's snowing!" Jenny said, forgetting about her fear of water and frolicking outside of the shed. A snowflake fell from the sky and melted on Sparky's nose. "Yuck!" He said, shaking the melted snow off of his nose and going back into the shed. Miley tested a snowflake by sticking out her tongue and letting it land. "Hey, guys! Try this!" She said. Mark and Jenny both stuck out their tongues and laughed as the snow melted in their mouths. Sparky even came back outside to try it. "I think Jenny and I want to go, too." Sparky admitted. Jenna smiled, knowing that her shy daughter and smart alec son were finally coming out of their shells. "Okay, just be careful!" She called to her pups before going back inside and taking a nap.
