Let's Chat

In the evening, we go upstairs to change clothes and to play "closet ball." Rudy brings a ball or other toy and we play fetch as we are changing. I go into the closet and Ken is in the bedroom and we throw the ball back and forth. Rudy and Emme compete to see who can get the toy first. After we have changed into our pajamas, I go into the bathroom to wash my face and Ken starts downstairs with the dogs. He has started sitting at the top of the steps with Emme to wait for me. While he is waiting, he chats with Emme and rubs her. Now she has decided that is the way one always goes downstairs. She drops down on the top of the steps to "chat" before going down the stairs. She loves to have you put your face right near hers and she sticks out her little tounge and licks at the air that comes out of your mouth as you talk to her. Wierd, but all part of the usual routine. I also discovered that if I chat and then realize that I have forgotten something and go back to the bedroom to get that item, I have to chat again before we go down the stairs. I hope we never have to go down the stairs fast in an emergency. We would be in big trouble.
