oh no not the pause ...



Mummy mummy mummy ... you can't even talk yet little HK yet you have been saying it in your own way non stop ALL DAY.  You will play quite happily provided that you remain in physical contact with me at ALL TIMES.  If I should .. oh I don't know propose to do something clearly unreasonable like get a glass of water or go to the bathroom (or run out of butter chicken and rice at dinner time) .. oh is there trouble.  Your DK and I clearly know when we're in trouble with you - you make it absolutely clear with the dreaded ... PAUSE.  It's when the crying stops but just long enough for us to wince and to know we're gonna get it ... and then comes the SCREAM.  But I guess the regular MK saying applies - better out than in my angry little man.

lazy Sunday with DK



hello old girl

Little HK this is belle aka the evil beagle.  So sweet but oh so dumb.  And she is not too sure about you. She is most put out by the fact that you have just waltzed on into the pack and seem to have usurped her.  Hopefully she will warm up.  You love her, you flap your arms and try to pat her when she's near - she gives you a wide berth.  She sure loves all the stuff you drop under your high chair though - maybe you can win your way into her heart with food?
