Sheep or Sheepdog?

I was reading Bill Martin Jr/Eric Carle's "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" to Evelyn a little while ago when something funny happened...


We got to this page:

Evie looked away from the book, over to Chokydar, and then back to the book. I can see what she was thinking:

Snow!

I think it's still snowing...I think we have had more snow today than in all of last winter. Granted, last winter was very mild, but still! I know I have a couple of packages to pick up at the mail room, but it just wasn't worth it to dig myself out...maybe tomorrow if they've come through with the plows a few more times.

Have I mentioned how glad I am that this is our last winter here?

That being said, I am grateful at least for the snow because it makes things BRIGHT. :) It seems more cheery because the ever-present gray is banished, for the time being.

You know your dog is spoiled when...

10. She sleeps in your bed.
9. Someone has home-made dog treats for her.
8. You blow dry her hair after a bath.
7. You towel dry her feet after she comes in from the wet outdoors (or wait...does this belong on the "You know you're anal when..." list?)
6. She's been to eight different countries, including one you haven't been to yourself.
5. You sing songs about her.
4. She controls your social life, i.e. who is allowed in your house.
3. You made her a Christmas stocking of her own.
2. You have actual stocking stuffers for said stocking.

And my favorite, a recent development...

1. After accompanying you to the nursery for mid-night baby feedings, she wants you to LIFT HER BACK INTO BED rather than jumping up herself.
