Yesterday our son came over to do a couple of little chores for us. He brought with him his girlfriend's adorable little two-year-old daughter.
Our dog Sophie just loves our son, and she also likes the girlfriend's kids (a huge improvement over Sugar's attitude, poor thing--she was a menace to any kind of visitors and sincerely wanted to bite a chunk out of our son whenever she saw him; she always had to be shut up). But this was the first time it was just the baby. The DS left her in my charge while he went out to take care of some stuff in our garage.
Fortunately, little A. is used to dogs (my son has a huge mixed-breed male, and she adores Cado), and was only too happy to let Sophie lick her and play with her. They chased each other around the house with A. giggling "Puppy!" (Miss Bella, however, did not take well to being chased around as A. was calling "Kitty!", and took to the high ground, where she stared down at the little menace, LOL!)
Sophie loved all the attention, of course.
However, it's possible my son is allowing her to spend too much time with his dog, as she's learned some rather odd habits--like grabbing me for a hug and licking me! I was somewhat startled by this to say the least! LOL! My son thinks it is hugely funny. Anyway, she did give me a couple of people smoochies before they left.
