I don’t know if it is the shorter days or the busy-ness of family life, but Mr. Barnie (who now goes by the name Mr. StinkyPants) has been full of vinegar lately.
He loves being chased – by Sophie or any human who will take up his ‘daring’ darting and running down the halls.
He loves Sophie, but lately, he has been pestering his best buddy.
I wish I could have captured him the other morning. He watched Sophie walk by, minding her own business. Barnie crouched, waiting until Sophie walked back by, and pounced – almost straight up – all 4 paws off the ground. Too funny. Sophie’s expression, priceless.
Another example I did manage to photograph:

The morning sunbeam snuggle has become routine.

It's furry, it moves, let's play!

Sophie definitely prefers the Chase Barnie game.
Sophie is a very patient dog. She doesn’t exactly seek out Barnie’s company, but he loooves her. He finds her wherever she is.
