On Friday when I was waiting at the seafood counter to pick some fish for dinner the lady in front of me was buying a bag of lobsters for her husband’s birthday. I made the tactical error of mentioning this to Dom later that evening. Lobster is Dom’s favorite food. And the thought of it started to drive him a little crazy. So this afternoon while Bella was asleep he ran out and got a few of the giant sea bugs for tonight’s dinner.
Then when she woke up, he pulled one out to show her. Bella immediately made friends with it, reminding us of Homer Simpson and his pet lobster, Pinchy.
“Hi ‘obster, hi ‘obster, hi, hi, hi, ‘obster.” (We still can’t say L.)
“I hold it,” she insisted.
And no, she was not traumatized when we served it up for dinner and offered her a piece, though she declined to eat it. Too full of pineapple.
In the background of the second photo you can see her other new friends of the day momentarily forgotten, Kanga and Roo, purchased at a yard sale around the corner.
I can’t believe how big she is already! She’s just beautiful. She looks a lot like Bella.
Look at that sweet baby head! She’s a doll.
Oh, she is GORGEOUS!!!! What a joy!
