Each night at bedtime Sophie used to lovingly clean the inside of Emma's ears. After Emma's death I had hoped that Sophie would bond with one of the dachshunds but that personality pairing has not born fruit. When Hank joined the household I wondered if Sophie might adopt him for her motherly ministrations. And there has been a small measure of progress. Sophie has commenced her head-cleaning activites a few times. The problem is that Hank tries to return the favor and the minute his big muzzle hits Sophie's face she lets out a disgusted grunt-and-hiss noise and clears the area. Hank might learn to stay still and enjoy the bath one of these days. We continue to hope.
