Why, I shouldn't be able to stand it. Why, though, can I?

Perhaps she cares too much, considering too much.

I like catching Snowy in a moment of confusion. When both my sister and I, standing at two ends of the room are holding out treats to her, calling her name. She can barely decide where to go, spinning in circles, considering her options for many seconds before actually making a final choice.

Oh, but when she walks off, it is obvious that she wonders if it would have been better if she had turned the other way instead. We all can see it in her eyes, but only she can feel the burning temptation to turn back around, the sickening ache of curiousity as to how much greener the other side of the grass might be.

I like catching her in such moments because she looks so pathetic and at such a loss that you want to cuddle her in your arms and give her all the attention that might make her feel better. Other than looking hopelessly adorable, her behaviour is just so interesting to observe. It's just so, scarily... human-like.

Her weakness, though, gets on many people's nerves.
