My dog is asleep on the couch, exhausted after a week with her barking buddy.
Daisy is your typical basset hound - what looks to humans like near-catatonia is, in dog reality, exemplary good manners and demure disposition. She never barks, she never jumps on people, she never bothers the chickens...she never really gets off the couch for any reason at all unless the kids are eating a snack.
Until Mom's dog comes over for a week. Daisy and Athena go way back. All the way back, in fact, to being virtual adoptive littermates. And when Athena is around, Daisy totally gets her groove back.
