A Day in the Life

The buddies are recovering from yet-another illness so today was the first time in a few days that they left our house. We all hate being cooped up, so even a trip to the grocery store seemed exciting - for all three of us!





They are beginning to remember each section of the store and have favorite things to look forward to. For instance, when we enter the produce section, they enjoy belting out, "nana! nana! nana!" so that every shopper within 50 feet knows that they know that those yellow things are bananas. They are so proud. And, they know that they'll get a cookie or a cracker in dry goods - I wouldn't dream of putting the graham cracker box in our cart without opening it first. After that, we head to the freezer aisle where there is a big picture of a cow - Ace loves to point at it and shout, "dog-dog! dog-dog!". (We're working on that one.) All of that is very exciting, but their favorite part of the outing is when we check out and one of their many admirers brings them each a balloon. And, after they get their balloons, they know it is time to leave soon so they wave "bye-bye" to anyone that will look their way. They are predictable, funny, little guys.
