Brute Strength (2011)
“Gabrielle was on the couch with Molly in her lap; India, tuckered out, was sleeping on the floor in a corner of the room; and Steve was in a chair with Lady lying down on the rug to his right. Doglike, I was sitting on the rug just to the left of Steve’s chair, and Sammy was cuddled up next to me. Kimi then strolled into the room, paused to size up the situation, and did something so unprecedented that all of us stared at her: with obvious deliberation, she marched up to Sammy, planted herself ...directly in front of him, and executed a classic front-down, rear-up play bow. In the past, it had absolutely always been Sammy, the baby of the family, our permanent puppy, who had initiated play with Kimi; she was often happy to accept his invitations and to tear around with him, but never before had I seen Ms Queen of the Castle stoop to begging her serf for anything. Sammy was as astonished as I was. With no hesitation, he leaped to his feet, ready to fly around the house after her. A second later, Kimi’s true intention became clear: having enticed Sammy into vacating the prize spot next to me, she flung herself down and occupied it in his stead.MoreLess
