Samantha only seems truly happy when she is with Ella. When Sam is in full creaming mode, Ella will come along and sniff her and tickle her with those little muzzle whiskers, and Sam will start to giggle. Just like that. If I wasn't so in love with the two of them I'd feel jealous. Yesterday Sam tried to give her binkie to Ella, shoving it right into the front of Ella's mouth. (yes, I washed it before giving it back to Sam)

Right now she is trying to put the dog collar around her neck. She tried to put it on Ella, but Ella only sat for a few minutes of that before getting up to lie on her tuffet and sleep. No success yet with the collar, but it is keeping her happy.
