Blind Sophie discovered a new toy in the dog room the other day and spent a couple of hours zooming around the house showing it off to one and all. In fact, Sophie was in such constant motion that most of the photos Alayne took were a bit blurry because Sophie was moving so fast. That's Bugsy in the background, no doubt wondering what the zooming Dachshund was up to.
The toy belongs to a new arrival, whose bed and pen you see in the left of the photo. We actually have two recent arrivals we haven't mentioned yet … and they will have to wait until after we get back from next week's Thanksgiving blog break!
What's fascinating about this toy obsession is that we have never seen Sophie interested in toys before … and there are always some lying about this place. That's what struck Alayne when she saw Sophie clutching that thing in her mouth and racing around the house — it was the first time we'd seen her with a toy. Here's the other fascinating bit: Since that day, Sophie has shown no further interest in that toy … or in any other toy! It was a one-time thing on one particular day and she is now over it. Go figure. The mysteries of dogs.
