Well, Dad finally put his foot down and despite Mom's protestings, we finally got Lily fixed. So while she has been laying around the house recovering, Owen has decided it is now time for him to earn his keep and start helping out a bit.He has started by helping to take care of Lily. No matter how much we tell him that Lily is fine and doesn't need much taking care of, he just can't help it. He loves his little doggie too much to just leave her alone and let her recover.
He also loves to help out with the laundry. Even if that means he takes everything out and throws it around, whether it is folded or not.
Mom doesn't complain, at least it is some help. At least more help than what Dad contributes!
Owen LOVES the phone, too. He'll take messages, yell at telemarketers, anything you want him to do, SO LONG AS HE GETS TO PLAY WITH THE PHONE!!!! If not, he'll let you know by screaming and carrying on until you let him play with the phone. It doesn't matter if it is Grandma Higham calling or Mommy trying to talk to the stupid IRS person who screwed up Mommy and Dad's tax return. He will scream and protest until he gets on the phone.
Another thing Owen likes to help out with is keeping the floors clean. If Mommy or Dad (well, mostly Dad) misses something on the floor while vacuuming, Owen has no problem picking it up and eating it. He is quite efficient at this as well. Mommy and Dad can hardly keep up. 
All things considered, he is the best Little Helper we've ever had and we're lucky to have him. His cute little smile in the mornings when he wakes up makes all of the hassle more than worth it. He is our little boy and we love him!
