Scavenger Hunt Sunday

1. Things that look like a letter of the Alphabet

Pipes that look like the letter "J".

2. Weather

 A heavily textured sunset greeted us on upon our arrival in Lijiang.

3. Bling

No bling necessary; she's my little princess.

4. Tangled

This cat obviously did not enjoy being chained up, but her efforts to free herself only got her more entangled... poor kitty!

5. Dark

Hieroglyphics revealing secrets from a newly discovered Egyptian tomb? Actually, these characters are the ancient form of the Naxi language called the Dongba script. Having served its people who inhabited the foothills of the Himalayas (China's Yunnan and Sichuan provinces) for over a thousand years old, it is on the verge of extinction.

No peeking...

Shall we play hide-and-seek? No peeking...

Sunbathing

Anywhere in the sun is Ringo's favorite spot.:)

Pets

Can you feel the love? Complete and unconditional.
The reflections in Ringo's eyes...? That's me.
But she will always be second to her Mom, Snowy, in my heart.

 It's nice to know that there are some things in life that you can count on, like that leaf over there on that tree. I can go to sleep and I know when I wake up, that leaf will still be there. ~ Snoopy

I ♥ Faces - Pets

Ringo is eight years old, but she's still a little baby in our house...
wait a minute, what about me?

Don't bite my fingers

One for Snowy, one for Ringo and one more for me...?

Every morning after Daddy walks the dogs, I wait for him to clean and brush their fur before I offer them a treat. The look of eager expectation on their faces - while they wait patiently for me to unscrew the container - always made me wonder why the dogs loved these treats so much.

When nobody was watching, I took a nibble. Now I know...

ABC Wednesday

IF : Germs

Mommy did not mind Snowy and Ringo sleeping on the sofa or bed, but after I was born, her cleanliness streak kicked in. She has to think of ways to keep the house clean and free of germs. Dettol is her greatest weapon. Daddy has to use it to clean the dogs after their morning walks, and Mommy lathers it generously everywhere.

Caught in the act

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!
