climbing...

Me and mom was sewing today, and the nupper-pupper rummaged about as usual. He came over ever so often for cuddles and attention, and also to lend his expertise when we were sewing with the machines. After a while I noticed he was being very quiet, so I figured he was either absorbed in something or in a corner pooping. Then we heard something drop, like a button or something likewise small. That made mom turn around, and thus stepping to the side, letting me see what ahd been hidden exactly by her.
1,5 meters up stood pup, aiming for the next step. Seriously, the one he held on to (the one above the circles) is higher than me by a centimeter or two.
He's shown interest in the ladder before, but only managed the first step under plenty f huffing and puffing. This he did without a sound... Scared the hell out of both me and mom I tell you.
