Pink Sunset

Year of the Dog




Violet and Abby (dog) bonded well. Abby and her owner, Jason, came to visit us earlier this summer and she and Violet spent a lot of time together. As it turns out, Violet is fairly bossy when it comes to compliant dogs and Abby was constantly being directed "here, Abby" and "come, Abby" for most of her visit. She was a good sport...and quite photogenic!

Boogie

This week, Violet verbalized the answer to the age-old "Boogie Conundrum." All humans inherently know what to do in this situation, but it takes at least 2 years of experience to put it into words. Oma Gretchen was visiting and we were having lunch when Violet began "digging for gold", as it were. Oma G asked if she would like a tissue, to which Violet confidently replied, "I use my pointer." Don't worry, grown ups, this little girl knows just what to do.
