Morning at Botanic Gardens

Suprise surprise. My mum agreed to join us for a walk at Botanic Gardens. Normally, Sunday is for her to sleep in but the lure of the famous Jalan Sultan prawn mee proved too much to resist. She did not get to walk much because she took a detour to have a TCM consultation at her regular Ang Mo Kio sinseh before appearing at the gardens just as we were about to go off. Anyway, for her, the objective to have prawn mee was achieved.

The two dogs had a lot of socialising to do today. We met many toddlers who simply loved to be near and touch and cuddle the dogs. Some children are braver and will approach the dogs confidently. Others need some coaxing and encouragement and assurance that the dogs are not going to bite them. There was this lovely 3 1/2 year old called Olivia whom Dana adored and allowed herself to be scratched and tickled.
Dana is now hppily taking her afternoon nap and probably looking forward to her next walk. Now that both of us are enjoying our daily walks, Dad commented that Dana is getting slimmer. Good for you, girl!
