Sheepie and her dog, Daphne, came to visit today. It wasn't a *wham, bam, thank you, Ma'am* kind of visit either. You could tell that Daphne had not been socialized by the way she reacted to Baron. Oh, she wasn't afraid of him but she didn't know how to play with him either....and Baron wanted to play even though Daphne was only about 1/8 the size of Baron. She could stand underneath him and there would still be daylight showing over her back.
But Baron tried hard not to spook her and was very friendly. When she didn't respond to his invitations to play, he finally went and lay down in front of the door like he usually does. Daphne explored the house, little-by-little but kept running back into my computer room to make sure Sheepie was there. The poor thing came from a hoarder's home and was a rescue by Sheepie and Teach. She seems to be a sweet dog but is a bit on the easily spooked side. She started to warm up to me a bit and let me touch her after many tries. I got to scratch her under her chin and she seemed to like that. But there was no prolonged petting that she allowed me to do. She would back away from that. But, like I said, she seemed sweet and even lay down on the floor in front of my door and fell asleep.
When Sheepie got here, she inspected my fridge and asked what smelled so wonderful. I told her it was the stuffing I made with the chicken that was in the bread pan. She immediately went and cut herself some and nuked it in the microwave. Later on, she helped me make the chicken salad that we ate for dinner. Hell, she actually made the chicken salad. She cut up everything and all I did was cut and pull the chicken apart for her. LOL!
Later on, she took home some of the chicken salad and also a couple of the meatballs the Beast made. I think those will be part of her lunch at work tomorrow. She had Teach bring a container so that she wouldn't have to take any of mine.
We didn't discuss anything world shaking but I really enjoyed her company. She can talk about darn near anything and we enjoy it. We had a few laughs and she talked about work, one of her managers and some of the problems she has but seems to be handling well. The one thing you can say about Sheepie is she isn't shy about letting you know how she feels, good OR bad! It may not be politically correct but it's who she is. She was like that as a little girl and is still like that as a young woman.
Teach looked good and happy. I hadn't seen him in a while but it was nice to see him, too. I was sure to give him a big hug before they left to go home. Sheepie and I said our goodbyes several times before she finally left. I haven't enjoyed anyone's company as much except for Chewlee. I miss my little doll now that she's back in school and she has her cheerleading, too. Sigh! I have to talk to the Princess and see if there is any chance I can keep her for a sleepover this Saturday, after her game, of course!
Love you all. Have a fantastic day! ***Hugs***
