Fancy & the Yearly Slumber Party
Its that time of year again, another birthday slumber party for Amie and
Fancy is up to her old tricks again. I managed to scale things down to 6 little girls this year (all 9yos so you can just imagine the noise level in the house) and I think next year needs to be scaled down even more lol. Last year Fancy surprised us all by getting into the girls' sleeping bags. She's pretty aloof with adults and teenagers at first but give her a child under the age of 12, especially a toddler, and she lights up. I think she was raised with a toddler before we got her given how she just gravitates towards them. Then again it may just be the inherent great-with-kids breed trait. Anyway, so far the girls have only been home and playing for 1.5 hours as we took them to the movies (evidently I'd forgotten what it was like when I did this last year) but already Fancy has gotten quite a few laughs. The girls wouldn't sit on the floor when opening presents because the two who tried it first got Fancy's big tongue & huge head in their faces. Her head is as big as some of theirs. Every time they'd turn their head away from that tongue of hers she'd just physically move around so as not to lose contact. The girls went upstairs and closed the door which had Fancy laying up against it like one of those draft catcher thingies and pouting. I got Amie to let her in for a few minutes and she was a very good girl. She walked around and gave each girl a big kiss on the cheek and then she did the funny thing. She stood back, scanned the circle of girls, zeroed in on one, stepped forward then around and sat in the girl's lap. Now this girl probably weighs all of 60lbs while Fancy weighs 63lbs. The child fell backwards from Fancy's weight & position so Fancy thought this was an invitation to lay down too and bathe the kid's face. It was all pretty comical but what was neatest was the obvious calculation that went into her decision on which child's lap to grace. She's now back to pouting at the door because, as Amie said, "Mom, we *cannot* play Twister with Fancy wanting to sit on us!" Poor dog, life just isn't very fair sometimes. -- Tara |
