Here Dumpling is pleading for rescue. In vain.

This is how a 6 year old averts her eyes during the kissing scenes in Ben Hur. Wait a minute! How did Cuddlebug get in on Dumpling's post?

And finally...here is how Dumpling shares her stash of Creme Mint Altoids with her very best playmate before they head out to the wild outdoors for a morning of discovery.
