Blind Sophie thought it might be a good idea to show the new kids on the block the best way to get handouts from the humans at the table on the other side of the gate. Sitting and staring, as blind Darla is doing, or standing and staring, as Bentley is doing, is rather ineffective as far as Sophie is concerned. She told them, "You have to do something really adorable, and make them think you're working really hard at it (wobble a bit, act like you might topple over at any moment), stare at them the entire time you're doing it, and you'd be amazed what treats come your way."

If these are barbarians then they are the most well behaved barbarians I’ve ever seen. And they’re darn cute, too. Seems like Sophie has it all worked out.

Ah yes, the Sit Up And Beg routine. We trained our dog to do this on command, but it only took about one day for him to start doing it on his own initiative, at every opportunity. There is something irresistable about it, and they sure know it. All of your barbarians are very cute. I’d reward Darla for patience (or the appearance thereof), Bentley for posture, and Sophie for effort.
