Ever since we put in this new septic tank cover a few months ago, it has become a favorite place for blind Allie to hang out on. Because of the residual heat from the tank down below, the cover stays snow-free much of the time — making it a nice, warm perch for a girl lost in thought all the time. This shot captures a now very familiar pose for her. For some reason Allie often sits on the green cover like this, head down, as if she's contemplating something quite weighty. If she weren't blind, you'd think she was looking at something on the ground, but no, whatever's got her attention is going on inside her head. I joke to Alayne and Kate that when I see Allie like this it reminds me of a canine version of Rodin's The Thinker. Although I never knew what he was thinking about, either.
