The Magic Pudding

Quote from: The Ali on April 14, 2012, 03:27:08 PM
Ellie and T are so cute together. 

For the first 3.75 years of his life, she seemed to like him well enough, but he was wild and unpredictable enough that she would often keep her distance.  Like, she would come when he called her, and let him pet her, but then she would move on.  Lately though, as he's gotten less "Spastic Toddler" and more "Regular Kid", she has taken more of a shine to him.  Right now he is laying with his head on my legs watching Saturday morning cartoons, and she jumped up next to him and is laying with her head on his tummy.  I wish I could take a picture, but if I get up to get my phone I know I'll disrupt the entire arrangement.  We're all crowded on the love seat like a pile of puppies.  It's pretty lovely.

Nice.

Rusty has a new radio antenna and some shiney new bodywork. Rusty and The Asmo, they are very pleased with themselves.

I wouldn't think much of me if I bought a friend some lousy 180 kroner whiskey.

Little Puppy with Big Paws

Yesterday, my mother in law and I took T shopping for summer clothes.  I also suspected that he needed new shoes since it's been about 6 months since his last new pair, and he's grown like a weed since then.  I measured his feet, and found that he was up a shoe size.

He picked out his own new shoes.  I think they look huge and unwieldy, but he loved them and they didn't seem to slow him down any (I made him sprint down the aisle to show me) so I guess they're okay.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030J86JK/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0013I5JV8&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1WP02MVJ6TR03KQ9JQZ1

I was looking at his this morning, and it struck me that he looks exactly like a Great Dane puppy (we had Danes when I was growing up) - that is, looooong skinny legs and oversized paws. It made me laugh.  I think he's going to be big and clumsy, just like a Great Dane.

(Sorry, didn't mean to mix up the name of the thread.  Didn't know I could do that!)

Wonder why those particular shoes would appeal to a little one....  ;D

I used to be insanely proud of my biscuit-toed crocodile leather specials;now they seem so dowdy in comparison.

We could wrap your feet in battery operated Christmas lights.  That would give them a certain...je ne sais quoi.
