You might be wondering why this picture of Buffy just curling up beside the Wii mattress and Barbie's flip flops (Haviannas? Not too sure of this spelling - oh well) can be connected to progress.
It's simple really - if we can turn back the hands of time, say... about months back - Buffy would be in the middle of chewing either the flip flops or the mattress by this time. The fact that she isn't is already progress by way of her behavioral conditioning - in other words, she learned her lesson about not just chewing stuff - and in the process, damaging a lot of things.
Some of Buffy's handiwork can still be seen in our place - one leg of the TV stand, the coat hanger's let, one corner of the sofa - and these are just the items we did not (or cannot) throw. There were times when Barbie was determined to ship this dogie out to far away Batangas (and she even took a vacation wiht the kids in Cavite last summer). I always explained to Barbie that this was just a phase - but there were days I was hard pressed to defend Buffy too.
So yeah - seeing her just lying there... not bothering the flip flops or the mattress - that, my friend, is progress indeed!
