While she is the best at sitting there, head tipped up just a bit, ears halfway back, blinking those big dark eyes, and looking like sugar wouldn't melt in her mouth she is so sweet, I have discovered there is a dark side to her personality.
She will trick her sisters to get what she wants.
Let me explain:
The girls will all be in separate beds, snoozing away. I will watch Stormie get up out of her bed and decide that she wants to get into one of the other ones. Sometimes this is okay with the current occupant, and sometimes it isn't. The problem arises when it is the latter one.
You can see Stormie sit there and look at her sister, like she's saying, "You're kidding, right?"
Then the little itty bitty gears start turning in her head. You can see it happening.
She runs over to the toy basket and grabs a toy or two out of it. She will start rolling around, playing with the toy, growling and making all kinds of noises that sound like she is having the time of her life.
This gets their attention. Heads come up. They are interested.
Stormie knows this because I will see her pause for a moment, and look at them out of the corner of her eye. She is thinking, "I almost have them!" So, she amps up the enjoyment factor.
She will take one of the toys over to the occupant of the bed that she wishes to have. She stands there, wagging her tail, with the toy in her mouth. She darts away, enticing her sister to follow her. They can't resist and hop out of the bed and take off after her.
At which point, she drops the toy at their feet, dashes over to the bed she tried to get into earlier, circles a few times, then lays down with a very satisfied sigh and closes her eyes.
Her sister is left standing in shock with a now unwanted toy in her mouth.
Such trickery.
Such diabolical evilness.
Such brilliance.
No wonder she's the queen of the household.
