Stuck in the Bag

Yesterday, Sophie decided to play with a shopping bag after we put the groceries away. (Don’t worry, it’s a fabric bag.) After a little bit, she ran over to me with the straps of the bag around her body. She seemed so proud of her accomplishment. I got my phone out and let her pose for a few pictures before I picked her up and let the bag fall off her back legs. I love the silly things this small dog does! 

So Spoiled

I have left the house without Sophie a bit more than usual over the past week or so. First, I went to a Thanksgiving dinner at a friend’s house on Thanksgiving since I was celebrating with my kids the following day. Then, I took Noel out for her “Mom and Noel” day as her last birthday gift. This week, I had to pick Noel up from school and take her to the doctor (again) on Thursday, went to a 5K race this morning, and went shopping for tomorrow’s shindig this afternoon. This poor little dog is not used to me leaving her so much, and she is acting a bit like a toddler. In other words, when I am with her, she will not leave my side. 

Yesterday, we went for a walk with a friend of mine and her dog. I dropped her leash and left her with the friend to put a present in the car. Sophie looked so sad and walked to me very slowly. When I got back to her, she was shaking and insisting I held her which I did for about a quarter mine. Today, she has been curled up to me as I do homework most of the time that I have been home. When I try to move, she scoots over to me. 

I love that she loves me. I will soak it up as much as I can. However, it can be a bit overwhelming when trying to get stuff done or even when I simply just need to go to the bathroom. 

She Loves Me

 Last night, Sophie hopped on my bed while I got ready for the night. When I came out of the bathroom, this is what I found. She had rearranged my sheet and blankets to make her own cocoon. As soon as I tried to take a picture, she wiggled out a bit and posed for me. Then, I straightened my covers and climbed in bed as she made her way under the covers as well to curl up to my legs. This little dog is so wonderful! I promised myself I wouldn’t get attached after losing Jasper so abruptly. Oh well! She deserves the love!

Being Watched

Dexter likes to sleep against the wall just outside my bedroom. This morning he was doing this as I started the laundry during one of my breaks. Sometimes, he jumps up and moves out of the way as I walk through the door. Not this time, though. This time he just watch me as I walked around. The way he turned his head and body looked totally uncomfortable, but he had no problem doing it.
