Doggies and little boys...

Daniel likes to torment Phoebe. Ear-pulling is a favorite pastime, and I feel confident that Phoebe would do the same back to Daniel if she could. When he gives her a cookie he likes to put it where she can't get it, and he thinks it's funny to slap her (not hard, but still...). She's very lucky she doesn't have a tail (we have no idea what happened to it - she just had a nub when we got her from the Humane Society). Perhaps G-d, in his infinite wisdom, decided to spare her ...

For the most part she ignores Dan, or leaves to avoid a confrontation. Yay Phoebe.

There is one activity, though, where Phoebe becomes the ultimate hypocrite. Any time Dan has food she is right there, waiting for the raisin to drop. If she is upstairs and hears the telltale rattle of the raisin box opening she's downstairs fast enough to qualify for Iditarod duty. She pretends to be his best friend. It's her dogly duty.

Today Daniel decided to lie down on Phoebe. She was a good sport, though, and stayed long enough for me to get this picture.

Yay Phoebe.

Well, maybe she loves him a little...
