Red Couch Day... and walking

"They want me to sit on that red couch and pose for photos.  Sit still??  Ha!!  I laugh at the thought!"

"And my friends laugh, too."

"Daddy and me... and Jeff and Annabel.   I hate posing for photos."

"I'm crawling all over the place..."

"But I think I want to try walking.  I'm going to try to stand up..."

"I'm up!  I'm up on my feet!!"  (and she walked all around the suite, but we couldn't catch it on the camera because we were trying to make sure she didn't tumble)

"And now I'm down again.  Such fun."

We don't have digital photos of this, but today we went to the Guangzhou Zoo with our friends Karen, Jeff and Annabel.  We saw tigers, elephants, zebras, deer, white rhinos, bears, flamingos monkeys, and lots of other animals.  And then we came to a cage that held a most surprising sight:

Two small pomeranian dogs.  Yes, dogs.  Cute dogs.  Dogs that looked as if they should be in Paris Hilton's purse, not in a zoo in China.  They barked at us, seemingly begging us to take them home.  In China, dogs live in people's homes... and also at the zoo!
