A Penny for Your Puppy Thoughts

Not long ago I caught our little beagle girl thinking about her master (O.K, Daddy), Dashman.  "How do you know?" you ask.  Well, she absolutely adores him.  She has since he carried her home that cold, September night tucked into his security officer jacket.  When she knows he is coming, she can hardly hold still and when he talks to her, she gets these charming, melting, chocolate eyes and her ears melt flat against her head.  A look she ONLY gives him (She loves the rest of us, but she adores him!)

Though this is not
 actually her, it is
almost her look.

  A few days ago, she was sleeping on top of her kennel, which she does on a pillow all the time, when a noise outside woke her up.  For just a minute she must have thought he was home from work. Still foggy from her nap, she looked up at the door.  No one came in, but she kept looking at the door.  I expected her to bark, instead she dropped her ears flat, then her head tilted up and her eyes melted.  The thought must have only lasted a few seconds, then she sighed deeply and laid her head back down to finish her nap. How about that, a puppy daydream.
