Elsa - Part II

Had a surgery on my thumb last month- and, though typing is not exactly fun right now, especially getting the combination keys to work :(- i thought if i could pull through three weeks of near-normal work, i might as well indulge in some blogging today. :) And what better than coming up with a whole series on Elsa!

Though i had introduced Elsa in my very last post, i had scarcely written anything about her grown-up days. She still remains as endearing, and almost as disarmingly naive as she was in her puppy days. :) You may shout at her, or slap her tight for sneaking into the kitchen and overturning that dustbin (in one of her rarely successful dustbin-raids!); or for just chewing away at anything inedible, at vanishing speed, before you could even see and react (matchboxes too!)- but all you would get back from her is a dumb, blank stare! To drive the whole point home, it though helps somewhat to get her back to the original "scene of crime", and admonish her right there on the spot- amidst all the evidence of her action preserved untouched.

As for her naivety, she would get a sore in one of her ears, itch it with a hand till it hurts, cry out in a sharp, sudden pain- then would instinctively pull back her hand, only to lick at it liberally- nursing it to her heart's content, and thinking all the while that it was her hand that had got hurt in the process!- and ending up feeling relieved too. :) I actually caught a part of this phenomenon replay a few times over, before I could locate what the exact problem with her was!

Coming back home after a lot of shopping is a fun experience too! As you start unpacking, she would be right there in front of you- standing tall, all too eager and curious, and demanding a sniff at all the items- one by one, as you take them out- x-raying and "sanitizing" anything that gets into the house, like the perfect sniffer dog!

And need i say how welcome it feels to come back home after a long day at work? :) More on her, later!
