Mojo and Lulu were posing and panting on Breezy Point. Mojo then proceeded to go into the sandbox and throw sand all over us. Lulu and Mojo have a very special friendship. He is the boy next door. She adores him and mopes if she does not get to see him for a few days. Funny how dogs build certain relationships that they hold dear. Not that they shouldn’t, but I just think it is really sweet. She has this friendship dog bond with 2 special dogs, Mojo Raising (male, black lab, 4 yrs old, next door) and Amy (yellow lab her age, around the corner). I assume the bond is deeper because she became friends with them when she was a puppy and those friendships have been constant in her life. Friendships are so important. I think that dogs, especially fearful and shy one’s like Louise, need to be cultivated often and early. In my quiet world, I think that I do not take her in public and into human and dog situations enough. Not that you can make a dog that does not get along with others change it’s disposition (which isn’t our issue), but for a fearful dog like Lulu, it just teaches her that other dogs are ok, and then ultimately she makes peace in her head and relaxes enough to have fun. She is fine in the dog park, but those are not friends. Frienddogs are ones that you see your dog’s ears perk up when they come into view. That your dog can sense walking past the house, even with all the windows and doors shut. I am really glad that my dogs have frienddogs. Does yours?

Yesterday Mommy took us down to our river to see the new floating dock. It is down the block from our house, but we are not allowed to go there without a human. We have not been down there for awhile, except to see the Osprey, because they were building it and there were lots of dangerous things that could hurt us. Mommy said that 2 barges came down the Magothy River from the Chesapeake Bay and they floated the dock pieces all the way from wherever they were built down stream. The barges had big crane things on them and the men put them together like a puzzle. We don’t have any pictures of them building it because Mommy forgot the camera the one day we all came to look. But we got some nice pictures now. Since there were a lot of people and boats on the dock, it was a big test for us to sit and behave so that Mommy could take our picture on Breezy Point. We did a really good job, don’t you think? It is really breezy there because it is where the river and the 2 creeks that define our peninsula meet. We got to walk on the new dock and sniff at all the sail boats and big things with motors. (You can tell we are not boating dogs.)
There was even an old looking red tug boat docked by us, which looked really special so Mom took pictures of that too.
Weekends and sunshine are the perfect mix for a nice dog walk on the river and then lying in the shade of Big Tree.

My big sister, Louise (aka the Darkness), and I like to toss and tumble a lot. Sometimes I could just be lying peacefully under the big tree and she will come over and pounce on my head and start something. Most of the time, Mommy says that it is me that starts things. But Lulu and I really enjoy our tumbling and mouthing of each other. I show her my teeth and she just bats me on the head with her big black paws. Lulu is bigger and stronger than me, and sometimes she can be a lot meaner too. She is the quiet type and we can be playing along fine until I say or do something that she does not like and then….. whack….. she hits me or bites my collar and drags me half way across the yard. Sisters can be difficult at times but I do not know what I would do without my bestest friend in the whole world. I love you Lulu Belle – Your lil’ sister, Sofie (the pain in your side) Bear

We’re bored. Mommy has been working really long hours and we don’t get to play with her as much as we like. We have every toy in the world, but they are not as much fun when Mom’s not on the other end. I know that we have lots of cats to chase, and we run around the yard and eat sticks and chew mulch, but that gets boring. We chase each other a lot and fight over the toys and the balls, but if Mommy is not there with us, it is just not the same. So we mope. We make little whinny noises so that she understands that she really needs to stop what she is doing and interact with us, right now! Not later Mommy, NOW! She does not like when we get demanding. Actually, when we yell at her she seems to ignore us even more. Maybe if we sit nicely she will come down on the floor and play with us. Maybe we should go get jobs, like hole digging or security guards, so that we can bring some money in and Mommy could retire and sit around all day and play games. But then we won’t be here because we would be working. And then Mommy would be bored because she would not have us to play with. Oh well, I guess it is better if the human works and we hang out all day until she is free. It’s a hard life being a house dog, but someone has to do it.
Mommy can you play with us now?
Love, Louise and Sofie Bear, you darling dearest doggies

I am not sure how such an angelic looking little cat could create such a huge up roar at the zoo? Nine has got everybody running, yelling, scratching, peeing… he is just one humongous trouble maker. I don’t go anywhere in the house without carrying a water bottle to squirt him when he starts to beat up on Muffin or chase Kitty. I have seen him perch on a ledge and wait to bounce on poor 5 lb. Muffin (who in his younger years would have beat the living daylights out of him!) I hear cat-a-wails outside my office during the day, and find poor Kitty, hiding under the dining room table (after she has peed in some corner to show her dissatisfaction). Oh my! I always forget what having kittens is like until I get them again. Truthfully, I find puppies so much easier. He will be a great cat when he grows up, but he may not make it that far if he doesn’t start minding his manners around here! Do you hear that, Nine! Listen up!
