As far back as I can remember, Mom always gets hysterical near dogs. Who could blame her. A lot of dogs in Medan are untrained and mistreated so they are either spoiled rotten or half crazy with distress, not to mention the ones who are raised or stolen to be eaten. So when Sasha came to the house, Mom was polite but not very happy. We all went to the park to have a picnic. Mom was still cold towards Sasha. Afterwards she took a nap while we took Sasha for a walk. We were about a hundred meters from where Mom slept when Sasha decided to play with Mom. Sasha raced towards Mom and and jumped on her. Mom woke up and tried to shoo her away with a shopping bag. Sasha loved the Catch-the-Waving-Shopping-Bag Game. She jumped and circled Mom, who fought valiantly. All the while me and Sasha’s mom were jumping up and down and shouting to distract Sasha like two crazy monkeys. After about a minute we were finally able to subdue both.
After that we went to Leichard for coffee and ice-cream. Sasha was greeted by a fan, as usual. In the end, I guess Mom was charmed too. On the way home she even volunteered to hold Sasha on her lap. A giant leap for Mom. Later on at home she took a shower and washed her hair, but I hope she will remember Sasha and that picnic fondly.
