Samantha had her first mango seed this morning. I cut up the flesh and gave her some of that, and then gave her the seed with the little bit of flesh still on it. She seemed to love it, although she now has mango all over her nice outfit. Oh well.

We went out this morning for a brief walk. It is so cold, I can't see subjecting Sam for a long walk. I wish I knew more people that we could have a walk with. Well, that didn't mind Ella. People get really worried when there is a dog and a baby at the same time. Not every dog in the world is a vicious brute!

She woke up at 10pm and 5 am last night. She did go back to sleep both times. I am not good at waking up at 5am. I ache the rest of the day. She slept until 7am and chirped quietly to herself until 8 am. It was wonderful!
