Day 2

We went for our evening walk outside the condo instead of the park because the car was not at home.

We had TWENTY (Read TWO ZEROS!!!) motorcycles ZOOM past us at close proximity.

It's a walk to hell and back, that 20 metres.

Tristan did rather well today considering that it wasn't completely event free. But this IS Tristan WITH motorcycles we are talking about. You need to see it to believe it.

To add coal to the fire, these days I have consciously kept him away from motorcycles because I didn't want the whole "sight-a-motorcycle-lunges-for-your-life" routine to become an entrenched habit whilst I'm in the midst of searching for ways to manage that unhealthy obsession of his. Trust me, those twenty motorcycles zooming past right in front of his eyes unleashed a monster who has returned for blood.

Fortunately none was shed though I did come off the walk with a few scratch marks when an absolute idiotic bike decides to REV his engine 30cm away from us, beside a really busy bus stop. It was scaring bus commuters OR the leg. I guess the leg goes this time round.

That said, I'm rather pleased that of the other 19motorbikes, he was able to NOT lunge for them when I yell "COOKIE". That would have been totally impossible a week ago. So, maybe slowly ;painstakingly slowly; the flowers are working.

I really hope so. Cause I'm sure somewhere between the 1st metre and the 19th bike, I looked like her.
