Canine Christmas

We started the day slowly, lazing in (that means sleeping in till 8am...yes, that's lazing nowadays...gone are the good ol' days of waking at 11am. That's an unheard of luxury, an impossible luxury these days. But I shall end this very long parenthesis...).

Our first stop, Woodlands, for the yearly feast at Joanne's mum's place. First, an interesting little nugget (to me at least). I had put Asher's shoes on the table top cos he kept wanting to take them and bring them to his playmat. I thought he didn't know I had put them there cos they were out of his sight. But before we left the house, he tip-toed to retrieve his shoes on his own, and pointed to them to indicate he wanted to wear them for the outing! :) I was quite pleasantly surprised!













Anyway, it appears that Asher loves dogs. There were many dogs in the house, and Asher ran around following them, petting them, and sometimes just looking at them. There were one or two that he seemed to like more, partly cos they were friendlier towards him as well. These two were the ones he liked best, and he gamely pet their fur, and tried to stay near them most of the time :)

We went to Aunty Evelyn's house for dinner too, and there we saw another two dogs! And Asher again crouched near them to pet their noses and their fur :) Maybe we can consider getting a doggie in time... Jon, are you reading this???!? :O)
