being my pet- perhaps an option for my next life?

 
this is what sadie does when she doesn't come to work with me.  on tuesday afternoons, i go over to the family counseling center to see clients & sadie can't come to the clinic.  licensing regulations prohibit it.  it's good that she gets a day off, anyway.  and the picture below is what sadie looks like when she comes to my office with me & works.  

i think it's pretty cute when sadie sleeps & her tongue sticks out (as in the picture below).  not a good date look, though!


it is always very dear when i am in session with a client & we are having a poignant moment & it is quiet & reflective.....   & then the a loud & lusty sadie snore resounds.   or she does the quiet yipping that dogs do when they dream. . .

it actually seems to add to the session at times.   

now what is an interruption is when one of my clients starts waving his or her hand, while saying "  sadie-  my gosh- what do you eat?"   i lost my sense of smell in 1989 & haven't been able to smell anything since that time.  so when sadie has a gastric indiscretion, it is only by that reaction that i know it has occurred.  it doesn't seem to bother sadie, though!

now that i think about it, there is not a huge difference between sadie at work & sadie at home.
