That letter between r and y (or for normal people s and u).
Lately everything has been about tea and pots. I have been looking to buy a new one and Xanja has a new nickname, Teapot or little Teapot. (The little part is for lots of reasons but little just goes good with any Xanja nickname except for Crazy Pants Johnson. I guess she could be little Crazy Pants Johnson but that's just too long. So no little there. Anyway, one enquiring mind may want to know why (well two but that's because one will tell the other). A couple of people have tried to make Xanja shake their hand when they've come over, something she wasn't really ever taught to do. So she didn't. I decided that we'd give her some manners lessons (in addition to the other work we've been doing) and she learned how to shake. This weekend, I was making her shake and then I realized I could make her do most of the teapot dance. So she was singing with my voice, I'm a little teapot short and stout and doing the motions. Thus the nickname little Teapot (or just Teapot). If I had the time and energy I'd make her do all the motions witout me holding on to her but I don't think I have the time or energy to train her to do that, but it would be cute. Plus, does she really deserve to learn that today. She chased after a bunch of deer and I saw 4 white tails bounce away, one was hers. Then I heard stuff which I thought was her coming back but it was a fawn, then she came back. She came back pretty quick and it was still light out. You typically can't say you ever saw a Teapot chase deer but I have.
