August 30, 2008 – There’s no delicate way to put this, but Rose is a bit smarter than Lenore, I think. Lenore is not a complex creature, and her passions center on love and food, neither of which she can get enough of. Rose, on the other hand, figures stuff out, and one of the things she loves to do is watch Lenore, and when Lenore is distracted by people she wants to see, or by food, Rose moves in and grabs her bones and treats, and Rose doesn’t even like bones or treats. She just loves to steal them from Lenore and sit on them. This happens all the time, but I happened to be on the porch with my camera this morning.
  Below, Lenore looks imploring me to me for help. You’re on your own, I said. I don’t interfere with Rose.
