My Lilliput has taken sides in the Time Wars. I've known for a while that she favors Klingons, but now this...

I brought out the Dahlek robot the other day. For the uninitiated, Dr. Who is a classic British TV show. Dr. Who is a Time Lord, the good guy, traveling thru time and space. The Dahleks wiped out (almost) all the Time Lords in the Time Wars, and vice versa. Got it?

My Dahlek robot is a just over a foot tall, radio controlled, and it used to alarm Lilliput when she was just a pup. But this time, she was not alarmed. When my son came to visit, and we got it out, Lilli used the distraction as an opportunity to bring in her Jolly Ball on rope, a toy she knows is only allowed outside. When the Dahlek approached her, saying "Exterminate the Doctor, the enemy of the Dahleks!", she pushed her ball toward it, and politely stepped back, giving the robot a chance to play. She was sharing her favorite toy! Or was offering to play with the robot, asking him to push it back to her, as he did. Of course he did it while yelling "You cannot destroy the Dahleks!"

It was so cute. My killer Corgi making nice with a killer robot.  It just warmed my mommy heart to its core.
