Chase had three adventures today: playing with new-to-him toys that Nanaw had in storage from his five cousins, going to the vet to get Mikayla groomed and making a trip to Walmart. In the morning, Nanaw gave Chase several of the toys that his cousins had played with at Nanaw’s house when then were small. There was a Megablock farm, stuffed Ernie and Bert dolls, a regular farm, a cash register and a psychedelic-colored van that belonged to Mama when she was a little girl. Nanaw also gave Chase a cabinet that her father (Chase’s great-grandpa Henry) made for her when she was a little girl. The cabinet has doors and drawers that Chase seemed to really enjoy opening and closing over and over again. On the way to and from the vet, Mikayla and Chase were in the back seat of Nanaw’s car, and Chase spent the whole time talking to Mikayla and trying to reach in her cage. At the vet’s office, there was a big black cat in a cage, waiting for someone to adopt him. Nanaw took Chase in his stroller over to visit the cat, Chase seemed fascinated with him and talked to him and tried to reach in the cage.
