Yesterday Samantha started sniffing. She scrunches up her nose and sniffs the air or me during a hug. It is the cutest thing. I couldn't imagine what she was doing, but then I realized, she is mimicking Ella! When I sniff back, she giggles outrageously. Ella goes up to her and sniffs her all over to make sure that Sam is clean enough, well, clean according to dog standards. Ella is constantly trying to clean off Sam's drool. It is sweet of Ella to tend Sam as she would her own pup. I just get such a kick out of Sam's sniffing. Have to laugh out loud every time she does it. She is very pleased with herself too.
