When I read llurpsie's post, I thought "That's what we should have named her." She was born Christmas Eve, so she has a Christmas name that doesn't really suit her.
She is such a sheepdog, if you're familiar with them. She's so sensitive to the people around her. I sat down after finishing my work today, and she hurled herself upon me as if I'd been gone a week. Which I suppose I had, but she knew just when I'd come home. She also hears me wake up, even if I don't move. She barks and mumbles at me until I get up. My husband lets her out, so that's not it. She just apparently thinks people shouldn't loll around in bed. And she's got the sheepdog stare. I always get the feeling under that direct gaze that maybe I should go to another paddock, or whatever it is that sheep do. It feels wonderful at times, yet it's very unnerving at dinnertime. She always manages to get a teensy scrap of food, which is something I just don't do ordinarily.
