The Adventure of Humuhumu and the Doggies

[nanila]

The bloke and I have spoken many times about potentially acquiring a canine addition to our household. After our recent visit to the Seattle-based diaspora of his family, we conclude that Humuhumu’s vote on the matter would be an unequivocal “yes”.

Poor Telstar is another matter, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

In the meantime, I present Humuhumu with Boris the big floppy former stray and Eve the skittish sled dog.

Petting Boris.


Reassuring Boris.


More mobility assistance.


A passing Boris is a pleasant sight.


Eve greets Humuhumu with nose kisses while cousin John looks on.


Everyone happy in their own little worlds.


And also when their worlds meet.

Tonight Humuhumu receives her “report card” at the parents’ evening at the nursery. I’m sure she will score perfect tens on Dribbling, Peek-a-boo and Deathgripping Stuff She’s Not Supposed To Have.

Go HumuHumu!

*melts over cute pictures*

And indeed, she did score highly on those things. At least I think that's what the report said. There were lots of acronyms on it that were incomprehensible to anyone without a degree in early childhood education. The upshot was "she's doing fine" so I chose to interpret it that way.

She really is the most darling child!

She was also basking in the adoration of no less than eight adults, so she was putting on a good show!

Miss Squawkleberry Squeakypops and her fan club? *g*

[nanila]

Exactly! I wonder if she's finding nursery a little disappointing now...

Ah dear... "Why am I surrounded by incompetents?!?" =:o}

My goodness, she's cute. I especially like how she lights up when Boris walks past.

She does the same thing with Telstar. Even if she can't actually touch him, she always smiles and reaches her hand out for him.

Lovely photos.

Thank you. Boris was such a wonderfully patient and gentle dog. I wanted to clone him for Humuhumu.
