Can you tell that Samantha spends a lot of time with her dogs?

She's a big fan of animals in general. She knows the names of most of the animals in her books -- ducks, chickens, giraffes, pigs, goats, sheep, elephants, cats, dogs, bugs, horses, fish, butterflies, caterpillars, and so on -- and can tell you what sounds each of them makes. She raises her arm up near her face and blows raspberries when trying make elephant noises, and it's hard to avoid cracking up when she sees the rooster in one of her books and comes out with a loud and enthusiastic "cock a doodle doooooooo!"

She's also extraordinarily fond of riding her tricycle around the living room wearing her rain boots and fireman's hat, and of going outside in said boots (which she puts on herself while declaring "Boots on!") to stomp around in puddles.

Like I said before, she definitely has her moments.
