<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Californian FB"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Dad is home with the girls again today, he hasn’t been feeling
well, so he took a couple days off to rest. Yesterday when I got home, he
told me the funniest story and I wanted to pass it along. He was putting
some blankets in the wash and he felt a little tug on his pants, so he looked
down to see a very guilty looking basset girl with those HUGE brown eyes
looking up at him and of course, the “busted” tail thwump, thwump,
thwump’ing on the floor. He said “Sophie, you’ve got
that look on your face, what have you gotten into?” So for the next
hour or so, he says she was like glue, following him everywhere and looking so
sad and guilty and sorry!!! I can just picture it! Boy she’s
something! Well, come to find out, he had left our bedroom door open for
just a minute while he carried the blankets down to wash, and sneaky little
Sophie had grabbed one of my shoes from my closet, taken it out to the family
room and ate the heel off!!! Finally he saw it, and he looked at her and
said “Sophie, did you do this?” and he said she just sat there with
her whole body slumped over like she was just so upset with herself! She
was so funny and cute, he couldn’t even be upset with her, so he called
her over and told her it was ok to make mistakes, and she clearly knew she was
wrong, so he was going to let it slide! OOH MY GOODNESS, she has got him
wrapped around her little finger, huh? Let her take one of HIS shoes and let’s
see what happens!! I just thought it was so funny that she knew what she
did and started begging for forgiveness before he even found out! Clever
girls! Happy Halloween to everyone!!! <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
