Our neighbors two doors away have a Chocolate Lab who does not care for Kona. They did not have a good introduction with each other. Labs are usually friendly dogs, but Chaja is territorial and was here in our row of homes first. Once I took Kona out to get the mail and Chaja was in the enclosed patio. He was happy to see Kona at first, but Kona started to bark (she does not like big dogs) and that made Chaja very very mad. He began to growl and got very tense. Yesterday, Ken set out to walk Kona and when he left our garage, Chaja was out and unleashed. Kona barked and he charged (Kona peed because she was so scared) and picked Kona up by his mouth. Chaja had Kona by the neck and was probably going to thrash her about, but luckily his owner came out and Chaja let go. Kona did not have any puncture wounds so she's fine. The very apologetic owner offered to pay vet bills, but a trip to the vet was unwarranted. Ken asked him to keep Chaja leashed at all times. Hopefully there won't be anymore incidents to share.
On a cheerier note, Mia and I had our first day at Bright Beginnings. It was rather hectic, but Mia had a grand time. She loved playing with all the outdoor toys and spent most of her time at the water table, pushing around a shopping cart, and riding a police car. At snack time she ate a ton of goldfish and kept asking for more. Below is a picture of Mia with a mouthful of crackers.
Tonight I went to a book club meeting and felt like an adult. It was nice to have an intellectual conversation for a change! We discussed a light read, Anne Quindlen's
Rise and Shine. It's about two sisters who are very close, but do not really know each other at all. A simplistic explanation, but you have to read it for yourself.
