It was so cute today. Paul has been promoted to Staff Sergeant and I threw a surprise party for him. I claimed someone I knew was coming over to help me sew and I needed a little peace. So Paul took Paulchen out to walk around for about an hour. It was great. Almost everyone arrived in that time and everything was set up. When Paul came home, he was so confused and surprised.
Paulchen was the cutest though. When he saw everyone after coming in the door his face lit up and he called, "Heys guy!" (Translates to "Hi guys!") He went around and greeted everyone. then he saw the Chiuahuah someone brought and kept chasing it all over the apartment. Fortunately the dog had a wonderful temperment.
Ava however, wan't so keen on the dog at first. Even though she's been around a big German Shepherd a few times and okay with that, Bear (the Greman Shepherd) never licked her. I guess the Chiuahuah gave her a quick lick which freaked her out and she started crying all of a sudden. She was okay later, but it was funny how she reacted to this little dog, about half her size.
Paulchen also had a blast with popping balloons. He had the tail of one in his mouth and pulled it away. Eventually the balloon gave out and popped in his face. Instead of crying, he loved it and started laughing. After that, he went out of his way, testing the limits of the next balloon he had. Half the guests and myself were watching him, waiting for the balloon to pop any second. It must have been a stronger one, as it lasted the rest of the day. Then Paul popped it, like the other ones we had, just behind me to make me jump. It was very annoying. Overall though, we all had a fun time.
