March 2021: Winston!

The clear highlight of this month was the arrival of Gio's belated surprise birthday gift- Winston! So the vast majority of this post (and the last 4 weeks!) is devoted to him....

The arrival!



First trip to the vet for vaccines.
                   
Passed out halfway through the exam.

Gio's bubble  buddies spent the  night to help with the middle of  the night visits to the garden.


Zoom call with one of her camp directors to ask questions about this summer.  Maria had written out 3 pages of things she wanted to discuss!

Imitating his big brother.


Family walk.

Trouble brewing.  No one messes with Jagger's beloved tennis balls!
Walks are hard.  Winston lasts about 5 minutes...
                             
...yet it only takes him 2 minutes to polish off his meals!

It took 2 weeks but eventually Gioia accepted Winston.


Gio with his childhood stuffies and now his real one.

Playtime!

How Winston prefers to take walks.

Photos from his puppy class....

Going back for some more jabs at the vet.

               

This turned out to be the last morning the children waited for the bus.  Sad times.  Bonus if you can spot Jagger & Ragu.

Since most of us got locked down in Nairobi for spring break Maria and her buddy Alessia spent quite a few sleepovers together.

                 

I promise (slightly) fewer dog pictures in April.  Sadly we learned at the end of this month that Kenya was shutting down schools and locking down Nairobi.  Our planned  trip to the Coast was canceled and we  enjoyed instead  the Easter break at  home.   School will begin online once again April 6th....
