Presto and Little Feet often like to help, but they usually have conflicting ideas of what constitutes help (between us, and amongst themselves).

Senyah was bagging up stuff out of the junk drawer today, getting ready for the exterminator.

Presto's idea of help was to pull stuff out of the bags.

Little Feet's idea (good boy!) was to push them back in.

Somewhere along the line, Presto decided that maybe he could best help by lounging inside the plastic bag full of tools and nick-nacks. Little Feet agreed, and tried to help by pulling the bag over Presto's head, to bury him.

I heard "Grrrrowlll! Smack!" from down the hall, and looked around just in time to see Presto completing his smack to Little Feet's head.

Little Feet just climbed up on Senyah's chair, pushed another sack full of junk on Presto's head, and ran for all he was worth, until he reached Senyah, and the side of the couch furthest from Presto...
