One of the things I , Jake, like to do best is help solve the Sunday New York Times Crossword Puzzle. They'd never finish it if I didn't paw a few words. (Grandma (Dogdad's mom) was amazed at my vocabulary! )

Our grandma likes to read mysteries. Here she is reading Lee Child's "Killing Floors!"

Dogdad can't help himself, he has to work. (But why on the stairs? We think he got tired of sitting at the computer. )

As for us, a nice chew is kind of fun (and keeps us from barking, especially when he is on the phone). Just Harry likes his on the rug in the foyer.

And I prefer mine under the dining room table -- safe from intruders such as pesky brothers.
