As I wrote in my previous entry, I have been working my paws off in the Shop, helping with the Band Props. I am covered in sawdust and exhausted.

Around mid-day, I came in from outside, along with her Royal Highness, Queen Sophine, while The Prop Crew (without The Prop Dog) headed off to The Hardware Store.

When The Prop Crew returned, Oldest Lad came inside the house and asked ME, Pennie, if I wanted to come outside and work. I jumped up eagerly, and ran out to the shop. Sophie just stared at Oldest Lad. Then he asked her if she would like to come outside and lay in the sun. At that point she jumped up and headed for the back porch, to bask in the sun, while I worked. It's obvious who is the working dog around her (Me,) and that Sophie considers herself Management.

Just a few moments ago, Oldest Lad came inside to grab a few beers for The Prop Crew. Who came inside with him? Sophie. There was Sophie, eagerly licking condensation off the chilled beer bottles, as if "Sophie" had been out working as Shop Dog all day, instead of ME, Shop Dog Pennie.
