Ready for takeoff
My family has an unhealthy fascination with Amy's ears, perhaps because Rocky's were not long and floppy like that. Today as she was lying around, minding her own business, Mom suddenly burst out laughing: "Amy Airlines!"
Hurhur, remind you of anyone? ;)

We've been taking her on the same route for her walks, just in case she ever manages to get out; hopefully she'd at least be able to find her way back. The most frustrating thing about Amy is that she's adamant about walking right in the middle of the road, happily oblivious to the occasional cars! It takes a lot of tugging, pleading and begging to get her to walk on the pavement or on the grass. So that's something that needs working on.
We tried not to lead her today, to see if she knew where to go, on our walk back. Apart from being distracted by a cat (and wanting to follow it home!), she actually did pretty well, and when she reached our front gate, she sat down and waited for us to open it.
"You sure?" I asked. "Sure this is the correct house?"
She looked up at me with those big brown eyes and blinked, her butt firmly rooted to the ground. :) Yep.

Cute story, love it! ;) U must have had alot of fun!
hehe...your mom is so cute :) gabe also fascinated with her ears, poor beag kena alot of abuse from the kid when he was younger, a toddler, constantly pulling and playing with those long ears...but she tolerated it until she cannot tahan than she would just move to another corner to hide :)
so cute that she knows her way home now...the problem with my place is that when you come out of the lift, there is no sign to tell you what house numbers to the right or to the left...with my poor sense of direction i still get it wrong after staying here for more than 1 year!! amy on another hand was always my guide...after one or two walks she knew exactly which way to turn despite which lift we took, coz two different facing lifts so sometimes you have to turn left and sometimes right...but she almost always got it right!!
good to know that she is settling in her new home so very nicely...i am thankful and forever grateful...
twinkies: Yeah, we've been having lots of fun getting to know her! :)
jin and ming: Haha, yah, she always looks annoyed when we play with her ears for too long. Must be wondering what the big deal is! :p
