Shelby stands at the back door, her little nose pressed against the glass as she waits impatiently for her mom and dad to open it. Storm, with his froggy toy clutched in his mouth, nudges her side playfully. Samson bounces around excitedly, his eyes glued to the television, where an animated animal prances across the screen.

Shelby darts towards the oak tree, barking at the squirrels taunting her from above. Storm flops down on the grass, rolling around with Froggy, his favorite toy. Samson joins Shelby, his paws thumping the ground as he tries to jump as high as the squirrels.
