She is such a sooky little sweet thing she gives you "the look" when she wants to get up onto your lap (which is often).

| Darcie giving "the look" - how could anybody resist that face?? |
We took Darcie with us for an explore of the nearby village of Amberg which is amazing with a medieval old town centre which still has sections of the old city wall/fortress intact. Walking Darcie around the old cobble stone streets was so much fun and everybody looks at her and smiles or asks about her. We met a lovely older lady who had a Dachshund following very slowly behind her which we found out was 14 years old.
We had lunch but sat outside the restaurant to eat as we weren't sure about whether Darcie was allowed inside or not which turned out to be completely unwarranted as we saw patrons coming out from inside the restaurant with little dogs and even dogs as big as a Labrador. It cracks me up here how dogs are allowed to go pretty much wherever their owners go - we took Darcie into a big electronics store the size of Harvey Norman and people just looked at her and smiled.
So far so good on the Zac front as he has been loving every minute of Germany, and especially loving the cold, although the snows pretty much all melted around the towns so he's keen to head to a higher altitude to see decent snow. He's doing pretty well with the language too as he will ask me how to say a certain word or basic phrase in German and then he has no issues using that word with a person in a shop or somebody on the street and they usually understand him. In particular he's quite confident asking where the toilet is in German since he learned that the English and German words for 'toilet' are very similar, which is nothing to be sneezed at since knowing where the closest toilet is is important information.
