Poor Zara

Raya has loved Zara from before she even knew that she was a dog.  It's been a little bit more of a learning curve for Zara :(

For 3 years Zara was top dog around here and although we still give her lots of attention we have to split our time now obviously...it's about the same thing as having two kids!

Initially Raya just layed around, didn't make sounds (except crying) and Zara wasn't too intimidated.  Then this "thing" started blowing raspberries, crawling around, squeaking, etc...and Zara spent many days saying, "uhh ill be outside if you need me".  She was not too fond of Raya for many months :( she would never hurt her and was very gentle but definitely jealous and stayed out if Rayas way!

Well NOW Raya is even more obsessed with Zara than ever! Doggie was literally he first word and can say Zara but still doesn't say Momma!! What the heck!! Most days Raya I hugging, kissing, squeezing, patting (errr hitting) and doing whatever she can for attention from Zara.  She has gotten MUCH more tolerant of Raya and i think likes thatshe runs around and is more interactiver, but will let her know when it hurts when she uses her as a step stool :( Poor Zara...they are so sweet when they actually play nice together, just like siblings!!!

Rayas first BFF (except when making raspberry noises, Zara just hates it!!!)

Fishies

We just got a Sea World pass so Raya (and I) can learn about sea animals. She LOVED looking at the fish today!!! It's so cute she just learned the sign language for bird and she was signing it when the fish swam by....haha, in her defense the fish sign is a little harder :)

Looking forward to having lots of fun there this summer... there are some great shows (she got to shamu last week) and I'm looking forward to the Cirque show, huge cirque fan!!! There are multiple aquariums and sea creatures for her to touch and explore!
