Salome In May

The past two weeks have been something.  India's death made us so sad.  Of course.  It's hard to lose a dog.  And India was such a lovely gentle girl.  She is buried between a plum tree and a grapevine at my parents place in Arlee and we can think of few places that are nicer to be laid to rest.  

As for Salome, we know she misses her dog being around to love on.  We're just glad that she got to have India for this long.  

Salome's been walking lots more - actually insisting on it:  "Wah-wah!" (walk-walk)  She still crawls to get places superfast, but as also adopted a bearcrawl that seems to be graduating towards complete upright-ness.  She's learning more words every day and is pretty fun to be around.  When she sees dogs anywhere, at my sister's house or on the sidewalk, she wants to give them an umah (kiss).  Not that we always let her.  She spent quite awhile in a store today giving a wooden dog multiple umahs, and then periodically sitting back to smile and say, "Nigh!" (nice)  She also likes wearing adult-sized hats and sunglasses these days.

Last weekend we went to Billing to see Salome's great-grandma.  It's pretty neat to have four generations in one room together.
