A trip to the puppy store.

No, I do not plan on getting a puppy. It's just that Kaia has been asking me to go see some animals and usually we would take her to the Country Pumpkin across the river where she likes to feed the llamas, goats, horses and other animals they've got. She also really likes to play at the park there. So, because of the time of year, I decided I would take her to the pet store instead. As far as she was concerned, it was an hour very well spent. She loved the puppies and fish but especially liked watching the birds. Sabine was really getting into it as well. And, as we were on our way out (after quite a bit of convincing), Kaia said to me, "Look Mommy, a chihuahua (though it sounded more like 'itchy-wa-wa'), and sure enough, there was a chihuahua chasing after her through the glass. What a smart girl.
