Pige Meets Babes. Pige Wears a T-Shirt.

No, those aren't the titles of my new series of children's books.  They are the announcements of the "firsts" Pige had last week.

Mark and I took Pige over to his mom's house one night last week to return the van she had let us borrow (thank you again!).  It wasn't her first time over there, but it was her first time meeting Babes the cat.  I'm not sure you could actually call it an 'introduction', but Pige certainly wanted to do the formal dog sniffing thing in order to introduce herself.  Luckily, we stayed on the front porch with Pige while Babes sat wide eyed inside the house.

(Picture this wide eyed cat behind the safety of a screen door)

In order to satisfy Pige's curiosity, we distracted her from the cat by taking her on a walk around the neighborhood.  Pige loved her first walk around Mark's old hood!  Did she love it becasue it had been a while since she'd been on a W-A-L-K?  Did she love it so much because there were hills to climb and new scents to investigate?  Or did she love it because the neighborhood is so much calmer than our crazy street?  Either way, Pige had a great night.

Pige's other 'first' that I am excited to share with you is the first time she has worn a shirt.  I've always thought Pige would look so cute with clothes on, but Mark is very opposed to that idea.  We had a breakthrough on the subject last week.  Mark actually suggested that we put a t-shirt on Pige to make her stop chewing a sore she has on her back.

This is Mark's attitude before he sees Pige with a shirt on.
These are the results after.  What a change in attitude. :)
And what a silly dog!

Pige is happy no matter what she is doing (or wearing!)  Get ready for Halloween little girl.  I see a soccer uniform costume in your future!!  Oooohh, BRAINSTORM....Maybe Mark and I will be soccer players and Pige can be the referee in the black & white striped shirt?  Yes!
