Kiya's favourite 'aunt' - and the front yard

Something was up when I heard footsteps outside the door - there were two people.. and they smell quite identical! And so it was Aunty Vy, and she came with a big, long bully stick.. hmm! I was over the moon with any visitors (or even strangers), but seeing Aunty Vy again is always very nice. Louie must have forgotten her, but because my excitement rubbed off him, he also pranced around the house and did short bursts of sprints.

Something festive is going on these days. Persons S and D are home a lot, or at least their usual schedule is different. I get to go on several car rides too! I was so happy whenever Person D takes us down and she gets all excited, and when I see the car and the opened door, I get all mad with happiness.






Louie isn't so good with car rides. He gets all meek and sulky. He also squeezed me out of the seat several times and I ended up on the floor, but I didn't mind, as I was just happy being in the car, enjoying a ride.









But at the end of this ride, Louie threw up all over the back seat from motion sickness, ha ha! What a lousy dog he is, to not even enjoy a car ride. That's what cars are made for.


One especially happy and exciting occasion was when Aunty V and Person D took us to a lovely old house after a car ride.





The back yard was fine.. but where is Person D? She disappeared.. only to appear again and took us to the front yard, which smells of cat! We started hunting for it.






Louie tried to jump and rear about like a horse, looking for the cat.






Person D was just smiling and remarking how lovely a front yard it is for Louie and me. I agree!






The cat managed to escape (through the drain) and we got bored, so Person D took us up to the balcony.




I envy Louie for his skinny body and height (like all women do) - he could put his head over the banister to look around like this,






or put it through the railings! Sigh. It isn't fair.






Still, it was a nice day out.. Louie and I sat by the front door and enjoyed the breeze (though it was still very hot). And I thought, I could live here quite happily.. It was quiet, and peaceful. And maybe we will.
