This was Sofie circa 2014 about the same time of year. The river looks the same but the bulkhead is now natural shoreline. Though it is humid and still warm many days, the nights are getting cooler and the fall rains have moved in. I am sure next week we will see very high water from Hurricane Florence (named after my Mom). It has been many years since Hurricane Isabel had a 7-foot surge and wiped out the playground and dock. I wonder what Florence might bring? We are seeing unprecedented changes year after year in water level. Who knew that weather would become it’s own TV channel and that we would watch it and listen to it endlessly.
The Muffin Man. Yep, that was his name. We called him “Muffy” or “Muffin.” He came with that name. You know how there are just some cats that clearly capture your heart forever. That was him. The ambassador of catliness. The definitive orange cat. The coolest of cats.
I always seem to have too many words on Wordless Wednesday, sorry, but did I tell you that Louise is the best dog in the universe (don’t tell Sofie and Charles)? She had a cyst removed from the top of her head. Seven stitches later, she hardly complained at all. I did try to put a cone on her because she was starting to scratch them, but the cone freaked her out terribly. So, my alternative was an aloe vera spray (because I didn’t want to touch the incision). That worked great to keep the area moist and I guess it didn’t itch too much. 14 days for stitches to be removed. That dog is just the best patient in the house. The other two would be whining and carrying on endlessly.
Sofie is always leaning or resting her head on something. I hate when it is the leg of my office chair because if when I forget she is there I hear a big yelp. This dog definitely leans against odd things.
Tiny tiny Mini Cooper. I think this picture was taken by K8. Wasn’t she just the cutest. It makes me want a kitten. How do 4 years go by so quickly? There is just something about kittens and puppies. Stop me now, 3 dogs and 4 cats are quite enough.
Maybe I’m amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I’m afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I’m amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
And hung me on a line
Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you
Maybe I’m a mandog and maybe I’m a lonely mandog
Who’s in the middle of something
That he doesn’t really understand
Maybe I’m a mandog and maybe you’re the only human woman
Who could ever help me
Baby won’t you help me understand
Maybe I’m a mandog and maybe I’m a lonely mandog
Who’s in the middle of something
That he doesn’t really understand
Maybe I’m a mandog and maybe you’re the only human woman
Who could ever help me
Baby won’t you help me understand
Maybe I’m amazed at the way you’re with me all the time
Maybe I’m afraid of the way I leave you
Maybe I’m amazed at the way you help me sing my song
Right me when I’m wrong
Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you
