dreamflowerYesterday 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.

That really takes me back in time. Before "Estel's Birthday" was even a glimmer in my eye, I wanted to write a story where wee!Pippin is happily saying "Puppy puppy puppy!" I ended up writing a whole story from that one idea.

I am so tickled at how Sophie loves the DS and his family. (The girlfriend has four kids.) She just can't get enough of their attention. She loves being played with and even roughhoused with a little--something the DH and I don't really do.
At one point, I turned on PBS to some cartoons and gave A. a little plastic bowl of Cheerios. She sat down in the floor with Sophie, and they shared. Our son didn't seem to mind her and the dog eating out of the same bowl, so I didn't say anything.
But I was glad I'd only put a small bit of cereal in the bowl.

I wish I'd had the chance to take pictures!
