The baby was very happy to have woken up this morning with Tax Day behind her. Not that the baby need worry about taxes, but the baby is extremely empathetic and the thought of all those anxious people gave her a sense of general disquiet. Anyway, the baby had a fairly unremarkable day of lounging, eating, fetching and chewing. That said, the lowlight of her day had to have been her visit to the vet for some bloodwork in anticipation of heartworm season. At first the baby didn't realize that was her destination, and so she happily jumped in her carrier thinking that we were headed off somewhere fun. I don't think it was until she saw the familiar stainless steel table that she realized her fate. But even then I have to say that she did a wonderful job putting on a brave front, as she did not wimper or scamper or attempt escape at any time during her visit. The baby is a good girl. When we came home, Enn rewarded the baby with a piece of avocado, which I think is now the baby's favorite food. If she's lucky I'll share a bit of my onigiri with her.

UPDATE: As it turned out there was no need to share. Enn made the baby her own little baby-sized onigiri. Here's the baby going to town on said onigiri:
