Arya hugs Socrates

07/04/2010

Socrates was not having a good day. His paw has been itching a lot and he has licked it raw. So we sprayed some anti-itch spray and then some bitter apple - needless to say he was not thrilled. On top of that Arya kept going and poking his eyes. The more I tried to stop her - the more she wanted to do it. So I told Arya that she is not being nice to Socrates - how much he loves her and gives her kisses and how she is being mean to him. A few mins later I see Arya walking towards Socrates and my thoughts "not again - Socrates is not going to like her much". She surprised me - She walked over to Socrates and sat down between his front paws and gave him hugs..... :)
I think both Socrates and I were surprised..

Arya's vocabulary

07/04/2010

Arya said Zoey for the first time.. Every now and then she just says something that completely blows our mind away. Most of the time she is babbling and we cant figure out what she is expressing.
A few days back, Jessica's friend Kelly had got her little 5lb doggie to our house. I wanted to see how Arya would react to a dog so much smaller in size than Socrates and Zoey. Well, we definitely were amazed at her reaction - " I want one" is what she said twice in a row. Our answer ofcourse was NO.

There are lots more to say, but I am at a loss of the specifics right now... More late

Arya's first fall

07/04/2010

After coming back from an exhausting business trip - I was looking forward to spending some fun moments with Arya. Well, yesterday wasnt as much fun any more after Arya fell down on the concrete sidewalk. We were out at our friend's house for dinner and while watching fireworks in the culdesac, Arya fell down face forward on the sidewalk. At that time it didnt look too bad - but by the time we got home her face had a few bruises. Her nose, upperlip and her chin are bruised :(
My little baby has so many bruises on her face - I feel the pain more than she does.

So, need to add Vitamin E oil to my shopping list to make sure that she doesnt scar...
