7.23.12 Counting The Minutes
“I’ve learned that waiting is the most difficult bit, and I want to get used to the feeling, knowing that you’re with me, even when you’re not by my side.”
― Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes
Sofie: “Lu, it has been days, where is she?”
Louise: “Sofie, now remember Mommy told us she will always come back for us no matter how far away she is.”
Sofie: “But, Lu…. (whine, whine, whine)… it is really hot out and I want to go swimming in the river and I want to take a long walk and I want Mommy to rub my tummy!…(whine, whine, whine)
Louise: “Mommy said that we should count the minutes until her return, so let’s start now” (in her most big sister voice.)
Sofie: “What’s a minute?”

7.22.12 Upside Down Under
This is Sofie Bear. Louise was being silly yesterday and tried to walk on the ceiling because she wanted to see what it would be like for the whole world to be upside down because Mommy is someplace called ‘down under.’ But I always look at the world from down under. I am a roll over on my back dog and look up at the sky from down here all the time. She does that sometimes but I do it several times a day. I love to be upside down. Sometimes if people see me they rub my tummy. Lulu only rolls for Mommy. When Mommy and Lulu are doing their little love fest thing, that is when I come running over and bite Lulu on the back leg. Hey, that is my Mommy too and I want her to rub my belly!

7.21.12 Walking On The Ceiling
“Since Mommy is on the other side of the globe, in Australia this week, I thought I would see how I look to her from there.”
“Spiders walk on the ceiling, so it can’t be to hard.”
“I am getting a little light headed though.”
“Mommy – please come home so that our world goes right side up again!” – Lulu Belle

7.20.12 She’s Gone Again
Mommy left us again on another business trip and this time she said she is going to the land of the Kangas and the Roos (wherever that may be). She told us that though it is summer here and very very hot, it will be winter there. How is that possible? Worse of all. she has left Noel, the Christmas Cat, in charge of the zoo. But why Mommy? Why? Noel is not the oldest, The Muffin Man is; she is not the meanest, Miss Constance Kitty is; she is not a dog, so why should she be in charge? We are confused. Mommy did tell Sofie and I to keep the blog going the best we can while she is 25 hours away (she got there with the help of a big silver bird). She also said that when it is today here, it is tomorrow there. Wow, we are really confused. So Blog friends, we hope that we can keep you amused until Mommy returns; we may need to bring back some of our favorite already blogged blogs. I am sure you won’t mind. Keep and eye out for Mommies physical return in a few weeks, when she will be able to once again blog without our assistance. (We hate when she goes away!!!!!) – Lulu Belle

7.19.12 The Art of Napping
The dogs love when we come back from a walk and they can stretch out on the office floor and on their dog bed and take a nap. It is funny because I will turn around and Louise will be fast asleep on the dog bed. Then I turn around again and Sofie has taken over the bed. I didn’t really think about it until this picture but maybe they are to big for the dog bed. Come to think of it they are usually half on the floor. Lil’ Sofie does look half off the mat here, doesn’t she?. Their bed is a mess because shortly before they fell asleep they had some bone tucked underneath one of the sheets and were pulling the bed apart to free the bone. (Silly dogs – I have been trying to teach them how to do ‘hospital corners,’ but they keep reminding me that they do not have thumbs to fold sheets properly.) Sofie actually moves around a lot in her nap cycle. She will start to sleep on the dog bed, then get up and lie right under my chair (so that I can not roll), then over by the door, then right outside the office door…. Louise pretty much stays put on the bed or floor, but occasionally she will lie under my desk with her head on the rollers of my chair. There have been a few times, when I just can’t keep my eyes open during the day, I have lied on the dog bed with them and caught a nap myself for a few minutes. Napping is an art that I just don’t have. Another lesson that I really need to learn from the dogs.
