Played

While Sophie was staying with L she hurt her neck. Every once in a while Sophie will strain her neck and she has trouble walking and going up and down stairs. I am thinking that she might have jumped off L's bed (as you can see she was completely spoiled while staying with L) wrong or maybe was rough housing with Hank. I am not concerned because usually within a couple of days she is fine.

One thing about Sophie is she loves it when others feel sorry for her. I know when I brought her home on Tuesday she was not feeling well, but I have caught her doing things that she will only do when she thinks I can't see her. For example: last night when I got home she came running to the door and the minute she realized it was me she sat down and looked up at me like, "It still really hurts Mom." When I got home tonight she was up on the couch (which she doesn't do when her neck hurts) and when she saw me she just sat there like she suddenly couldn't move. She really cracks me up.

I am not sure what's worse...the fact that she is playing me or the fact that I know this and still spoil her rotten.
There is no way I can say no to those eyes.

Don't you wish you could know what she thinks? People who don't believe dogs have that ability have obviously not lived with one.

Malingering, huh? does that remind you of someone we both used to know? :D

Amazing what we let them get away with. The other day I was working away and the pups were sleeping on the floor. I was working and working and then I got up and lo and behold, the littlest creature had somehow managed-VERY QUIETLY to get on the couch and was snoozed out. I let him stay cause it was cute . . .

Great pic by the way!
