Whenever I am getting ready to go out, Sofie throws herself on my feet and has a little tantrum. “Please mommy, don’t leave me, what am I going to do if you put your shoes on, that means you are going somewhere, me me me me me.” I find it interesting how she knows the difference between when I am getting dressed but staying home vs when I am getting dressed to go out. Now of course, that does involve shoes, which I don’t like to wear and avoid as much as possible. Maybe the shoes are the difference? She really goes crazy when I go to my business clothes closet, then she figures I am going to be gone for more than a minute, She has even taken to stealing one shoe so that I can never leave her. Silly dog, she doesn’t know that we humans tend to have more than one pair of shoes.

Sofie loves her new toy, I call it ‘Donut.’ Donut is an Kong Airdog toy, which is a variation on a tennis ball (the dogs love this line of toys). She has taken off all the skin by now, which is what my dogs love to do to tennis ball things. She enjoys carrying it and ‘Beaver’ (her lovey) in her mouth at the same time. This morning she came to me with Beaver, Donut, and another soft toy in her mouth (wish I could have gotten a picture).

Lulu gets jealous sometimes when Sofie has ‘special’ toys and she steals them to tease Sofie. I do believe that the dogs are capable of teasing and playing games on each other. I watch Lulu set Sofie up for a fall all the time. She actually places toys in Sofie’s mouth, just so she could then snatch them away.
Here is Lulu stealing Donut, and the chase is on…..

“How come the cats get to sleep on the bed with you but Lulu and I have to stay on the floor?” “No fair!” “We want to come up on the bed and snuggle with you, the heck with those silly cats!” “I promise I won’t take up the whole bed like Muffin does, I know you told me he becomes a ‘St. Bernard’ (whatever that is) when he sleep with you.” “I promise I will be a good girl if you just let me come up with you and the cats, really I will.” ” Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssseeeeee!”

Let me start by saying Sofie is a wonderful dog and I love her a lot. I am amazed how smart she is and how stubborn and manipulative. Even with the e-collar, which has worked wonders, if I don’t train her every day, she slips back into old habits. If you give this little imp an inch, she will take a mile. Things were going great, until last week when I got really busy with work and could not get the time to train her every day. Today, she decided she just isn’t going to listen to anything and she is whining whining whining. Yesterday, when I was not looking, she sneaked under the pool fence and went for a hop on the winter cover. And she was doing so well. I guess we all have to act out sometimes…..

Sometimes my animals are just plan Goofy! And that is all there is to say about it.

I want to live with the abandon my dogs have. Rolling on their backs and laughing and smiling. Waiting to have their tummies rubbed. I can have ‘a little’ abandon now, but, on Monday, I have to get back to the work. If truly there is a karmic wheel and I get to come around again, I would like to be owned by a nice lady like myself, who buys lots of dog toys and treats, and plays with us a lot, and then I would just run around and have fun all day with my humans and my animal friends. Wow, does that sound nice. Really changes the perspective of the expression, ‘going to the dogs.’ because that is exactly where I want to be.
