I had the most tender experience earlier today. Sophi was having one of her moody mornings. It was a doozy. I finally put her on the couch in front of the TV and tried to ignore her incessant whines. I know, great mom. I came in my room to check my email and found a message from someone who I've never met, who wanted to know if I had heard of "Ramen Noodle, the two-legged poodle." She said it reminded her of Sophi. I actually had seen a video of him before, but hadn't shown Sophi. I went and got her from the couch and brought her to the computer. I pushed play on the video, and her face slowly went from Miss Grouchy to Miss Sunshine. She was enamored, and after a few seconds with her face glued to the screen she said, "Look, Mom! It's a Sophi dog!" Bless her heart.
She kept asking for more, so I kept showing her more videos of Ramen Noodle, then moved on to other animals with missing limbs. She was totally captivated. After a little while, she planted a tender, sweet kiss on my cheek-- just out of the blue. I was so grateful for this thoughtful email that allowed me to have such a precious moment with my Sophi, and turn her frown upside down. (: Thanks, Janet!
I am so glad she liked it! And I'm thrilled that it gave you a sweet parenting moment!

Oops! We are actually wondering about a simultaneous adoption, not concurrent. Any suggestions would be Very helpful!!! Thanks! -Donna
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute Sophi-dog! It must be comforting for her to realize every once in awhile that she is not alone. I am so glad you showed that to Soph!
ReplyDeletePoodles can seem as though little teddy bears or in a progressively customary cut will look increasingly like a Poodle in the show ring.
