Laguna Phuket International Marathon

Daddy dragged us all - including the doggies - to participate in the 4th Laguna Phuket International Marathon on 14 June 2009. The 5km fun walk started at 8am; we got there just as the whole group stormed out of the holding area, so we started at the very tail end. The weather was hot, but I stayed mostly sheltered inside the stroller. Mommy pushed me, while Daddy held on to Snowy and Ringo. Janelle and Andre were far behind us. Mommy was worried about me sitting too long and getting hot and thirsty, so she walked and ran way ahead and soon caught up with the main group of walkers.

Ahhh, water at last!

We are the Champions, we are the champions, no time for losers...

Don't they look exhausted!?!

Uncle Bob and Auntie Lyn got someone to prepare local Thai dishes for dinner.

A little mischief...

Who, me?

Things I like to do in the morning...

Daddy told us we would probably have to move to Bangkok soon. Mommy thinks I will not remember the place where I spent the first few months of my life, so she wants to use this as a detailed and lasting chronicle.

Each morning, after breakfast and morning bath, Mommy puts me in my walker to play for a while before nap time. Today I had a new toy; I gripped it tightly so that I would not drop it wherever I roam. I could grasp the beach ball with my left hand and still hold the toy with my right.

I like to look out to the swimming pool. As long as the weather is good, I can look forward to an evening swim after our afternoon stroll. Mommy is afraid I will catch chills, so she will wrap me up in a towel, as soon as we get out of the pool. She has to make sure not to miss out anything, as leaving me alone even for a few seconds nowadays gives me enough time to put myself in danger - toppling out of the bathtub, falling off the bed, you name it!

I like to play with the dogs' food and water bowls. Making a mess is fun! Mommy learned the hard way to put things out of my reach. Snowy likes to be near me, but I respond by pulling her fur... sorry! Ringo is smarter and stays a safe distance away from me most of the time. But she did lick me a few times, while Mommy held on to my straining arms.

Ahhh, quarter past 10, it's nap time!
