For a dog who usually lives to burrow into our sectional, this is angelic behavior. <br /><br />(It probably helps that she is viewing the living room rug as a deliciously scratchy novelty to roll around on, and that my colleagues are delightedly giving her attention every five minutes--with six people besides me in the house, almost all of whom like dogs at least in theory and only one of whom has his own at home, she's getting a <em>lot</em> of belly rubs. <br /><br />And she's been about perfect about napping quietly in her crate while people are writing, and she's generally being very quiet and very sweet, and just--<br /><br />*mooshes her* what a GOOD DOG.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=sciatrix&ditemid=58242" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
