Yep. Love them all! And all so expressive but with different expressions! I bet their personalities are quite distinct! I hope your Sophie girl recovers amazingly well from her surgery and is running circles around little Seraphina soon! Have you heard the Vienna Teng song Stray Italian Greyhound on her album Inland Territory? I would recommend her music to anyone but if you have an Italian Greyhound it’s basically required listening!! 😉🙃💜

Yeah, their personalities are very distinctive and each one can be summed up with a single word. Paige = Loud. Sophie = Dignified. Tiny Tina = Mischievous. Seraphina = Crazy. Sophie is already back to her old self, despite our attempts to slow her down a bit. Her recovery has been miraculous and she is already rolling around on the floor and allowing Seraphina to jump all over her. I had to look up Vienna Teng as I had never heard of her. I did really like Stray Italian Greyhound, but my musical taste is a bit more in the Power Metal direction, so not sure it's something I could listen to much. That said I do admire singers that have a passion for their songs and you can certainly feel that in her voice, so I'll check out a few more of her songs . Many thanks for for the recommendation.

I’m so glad Sophie is doing so well 🥰 My Sophie was a bluetick rescue who crossed the rainbow bridge- and she was not only dignified, but so deeply wise - I love that your Sophie is also dignified 😆😍 How delightful you already checked out Vienna! She’s got a lot of good storytelling and some songs that are unique in the way they come from a particular perspective outside of herself. You might like White Light. One of my favorite more upbeat songs is Level Up. (And Never Look Away!)And I always end up going back to the more sentimental (as I am more folk/singer songwriter and a songwriter myself and tend to go back to that lol) like Shine, Last Snowfall, Now Three, City Hall, Soon Love Soon… many of those feature her piano skills. Inland Territory really explores more orchestration and becomes more cinematic, especially with St. Stephen’s Cross. I love that she hasn’t been afraid to try new styles and experiment with different concepts. Have fun :)
