<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Californian FB"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Diva and Sophie had quite a weekend. I had a huge slumber party for my
daughter, Jasmine, who turns 9 tomorrow, and I knew it would be very exciting
and overwhelming for Diva and Sophie, so they got a long, long, exhausting walk
just before the party, and then they plopped down in my bedroom and passed out
while the guests were arriving. Well I knew just when they got up because
there were whimpers and then whines and then barks and whimpers combined and
then just all out “we’re not having this anymore, let us out now
momma” coming from the room. So my daughter went in to get something
from my room and the dogs ran past her and all you could hear was 16 little
girls shrieking at the top of their lungs!!! The dogs ran in and started
jumping around and licking them and trying to play with them…they didn’t
realize some of the little girls were afraid of dogs or didn’t realize
they were just playing with them. So we got things calmed down, and everyone
was ok after a while, and then things started disappearing!!! First it was a
hairbrush, then someone’s stuffed octopus, then a sock and a shoe, and
finally, I saw the culprit...little Ms. Sophie! She was hunkered down around
the side of the sofa, looking around to see if anyone was watching, and then
she’d tiptoe over and quietly snatch whatever she was going for, and
slither away, belly to the floor, tail tucked between her legs, trying to be as
quiet and stealth as a 50 lb. goofy basset hound can be. So I followed her to
see what she was doing with all this stuff, and lo and behold, she was taking
it into the bathroom and putting it in the bathroom cabinet under the sink,
where, oddly enough, Choncey the cat was also hiding out! It was so funny!!
She walked in, looked around and the cabinet door would open just a little then
shut back, then open a little then shut back. The cat was inside the cabinet, pushing
on the door to get out, and Sophie would stick her nose in when he pushed the
door a crack, and then open it up and stick in the goodies that she’d snatched
from the kids. Then she’d let the door shut back, locking poor Choncey
in there until she came back!! It was sooo funny I couldn’t be mad at
her. There must have been 10 things in there that she’d snatched and was
hiding, along with a very irritated Choncey cat under the sink in the
bathroom!! When she saw me and knew she was busted, she had that look, you
know the one, and she just sat there with her tail going “thwump, thwump,
thwump, thwump” on the ground. Clever girl!!!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
