Longest day of Dazzle's life

Yesterday (Saturday) was probably the longest day in Dazzle's life so far.

Her day started with lots of hopping and running around at home at 7am after breakfast and by 9am, we were walking her downstairs near the park (for the first time!). This was the first time Dazzle's tiny paws felt warm ground and she sure was excited, albeit a little short lived. We didn't want to scare her so the walk lasted barely 15mins.

Well, there's a good reason why we decided to bring Dazzle for a walk yesterday morning. Saturday is Bathing Day!

Dazzle's a brave girl. Never made any noises or cause much problems while bathing. Though it no longer seemed traumatic for her, she's still a little apprehensive about getting wet once a week.

She sure looked funny when shes wet!

Yesterday, we tried to put her on a 3KG kitchen scale.
The last time we weighed her was about 4 weeks ago at the vet. She was 2.5KG then. So, we figured that as long as we can get her on top of that kitchen scale, it should do just fine in measuring her weight.
It wasn't an easy task.
Getting Dazzle to stand (or sit) on an unsteady surface proved to be almost impossible until we put her on a basket then on the scale.
Even then, it didn't seem to work. The scale showed 800g (less than 1KG). Was the scale faulty or what?
We, being highly intelligent beings, quickly (after no more than 5mins) noticed that the scale had actually completed 1 round.
That means Dazzle is at least 3.5KG to 4KG now.
What a surprise! Dazzle has grown!!!
I know i said we are highly intelligent beings but at that point of time, we just screamed with joy.
Well, Dazzle just stared straight as us, having just gone thru a traumatic off-balanced weighing experience and now having to handle 2 idiots who got so elated out of no apparent reason.
Like i said, it was a long day for her. We've had so much play and fun together.
Dazzle got tired and didn't waste any chances to catch some sleep whenever she can.
