No Squeaker they are Meerkats. As you probably now have guessed, we made a return trip to the zoo this weekend. Her favorite animal this time was a shrew. I don't know if she liked their long opposable noses or the fact that they were hanging out in the front of their cages, but she really liked seeing them. Even with the heat, she had a good time. Also despite the heat she insisted taking her meals outside. There just happened to be a child sized deck chair at Momzie's house and once we let her sit in a 'flat' chair, there was no going back no matter how warm it was outside. A 'flat' chair, for those of you who are not familiar with the term, is one without molding or a seatbelt. In other words, like those where adults sit.
The Daddy person suggested last night that we were going to visit a zoo in our hometown, one with four cats. Squeaker got really excited at this suggestion, and ran with it all the way home. I spent most of the trip being asked to recall the other animals (stuffed) at the zoo and their names. The Daddy person was corrected many times for either forgetting animals or their names.
Have a good week.
ADDENDUM: I forgot completely (the danger of posting before I have had my coffee) about playing hide and seek with Squeaker this weekend. It has become one of her favorite games and she is getting better at it. She now picks decent hiding places (behind chairs instead of on them) and she waits a until the third or fourth time you have asked "Where is Squeaker?" to answer. She also has gotten good at looking for people too. Although when the Daddy person is hiding she cheats and only counts to two before she says "ready or not". Ok, that's really it for this week. We have some fun videos from the last few weeks, but I haven't had time to sit down and edit it for publication. Summer is coming...
