First off, I'd like to give a big shout out to my two followers. Hi two followers!! Thanks for reading along! I'll try to continue to entertain :)

I'm starting to see Elphie's personality shine through. I noticed that she really loves people and gets excited to see someone new. If she had a tail to wag, she'd be able to propeller herself to the moon! I took her for a short walk this morning and we ran into a very nice woman who was walking her dog. Elphie got extremely excited and started jumping all over her, who in turn got really excited and starting speaking a completely different language to Elphie in a high pitched voice. The entire time I was having an imaginary conversation in my head, telling the woman I hope she wasn't saying anything I didn't want to hear. Watch Elphie start responding to Hebrew or Arabic quicker than to English (we live in a highly populated Jewish community). That would be my luck. I do enjoy - and am grateful for -  the socialization with the neighbors, though. It's nice to be able to have something to talk about with complete strangers. Having a dog to walk also gets me out of the house, too, which is something I really need to do more often. I tend to suffer from cabin fever so it's nice to break up the monotony of work to home, home to work. And I'm sure before I know it we'll be bringing her to parks, on car rides and on camping trips. How exciting!
