We have taken on a new venture this summer...babysitting a little dog named Oscar. He belongs to Jim and Lily (Jim is Eric's partner at work, and Lily is his new, lovely bride of almost a year), and due to their work schedule were needing a pet-sitter for Monday's. So we now have this four-legged friend keeping Elena company the first of every week. And it has been a hoot and a half! She chases him, holds him, takes him out ("Oscar! Les' go potties! You good boy! Das' it! YES, go potties!" Now if only we had that much enthusiasm in that department for her! Although, complete side note - we had 2 successful potties with a dry pull-up yesterday morning! I am TOO thrilled....uh-noh, my utter happiness now surrounds that of my 3 year old going to the bathroom! What do you suppose that says about me?!?!) The really sad part is when Mr. Jim comes to pick up Oscar as there are some tears shed. Elena really loves Oscar. Here's some shots: Elena walked Oscar around the house a bit, then she also decided he was tired and needed a ride around the living room on the ottoman. I am not sure that the walk around the house is what tired him out, more Elena, Elena chasing, Elena holding, Elena giving Oscar rides aound the living room, and did I mention Elena? :)
