Puppy Love

It is official, despite the occasional accident and bad breath we all love Miko. She has now mastered both up and down on the stairs and can sort of walk on a leash. She went for 3 walks today to help her (and us practice). Sam is delighted with her and can't wait until they are both experienced enough for him to be able to walk her on the leash. I let him walk her within the courtyard but not out on the sidewalk. He thinks she is lots of fun and despite the rain has been happy to walk her and play with her outside. She and the cats are still wary of one another but she hasn't chased them and they in turn haven't swatted her so there must be some sort of understanding going on.

Sam thinks normals are much more fun with Miko around and insists that she snuggle up with us for read alouds. He is disapointed that she is not very good at math though! He made her watch Cats and Dogs with him the other night but I don't think that she was too impressed, she wasn't that fussed with Scooby Doo either which sam couldn't understand. I think that he is going to go through his entire DVD collection until he finds something she likes. As long as I don't have to sit through them all I don't mind.
