Puppy Love

Sofia Loves Molly.
Sofia actually loves all furry creatures, but Molly is truly exceptionable. She is the only animal in the house Sofia can lay her head on, wrap her arms around, sit on, chase, play ball with, and of course the only one who will let Sofia grab her hair, though this action always warrants a stern, “be gentle to Molly!”.

I have met more dogs than people this month because Sofia will spot a dog 50 feet away and will begin running…and running…and running. She doesn’t look back. Cue “Chariots of Fire”…cue happy, slobbering dog 50 feet away…cue anxious mom running after baby when she realizes baby is not looking back and has no intensions of stopping. This is my life at least once week when we’re hangin’ on the bluffs with Jennifer and Evan.

Me – “what a cute dog, is she friendly?”
Dog Owner – “Yes, she’s friendly, she loves kids.”
Me – “Sofia be gentle with the doggy.”
Dog Owner - Silent
Me – “Oh how nice, Sofia you’re going to hug the doggy?”
Dog Owner - Silent
Me – “Sofia do you love her?”
Dog Owner - Silent
Me – “Say good-bye to the doggie.”
Dog Owner - Silent
Sofia – Waves, blows a kiss
