There is a lot of jealousy going on in the past year and a half since we rescued Charles. I definitely think it is a little dog thing. He came to us with resource guarding issues and it seems that it is contagious. Now, whenever I am sitting with Louise or Sofie (who were never jealous of my affection for the other), Charles appears and creates a conundrum. He is very demanding of attention. Mild-mannered Louise has had her full of the pipsqueak and has started to get demanding herself. Oh, my! Now no one gets attention. What’s a zookeeper to do?
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

I love how Sofie’s fur makes patterns and the mulch makes patterns.
Hope you have a lazy Sunday.

Most people think Louise is black, but she isn’t totally. She is brown when the sun hits her fur.

She has always had these brown stripes under the black. Maybe she is secretly brindle? Anyway, she is just my dark chocolate sweetheart.

It seems like THUNDER SEASON rolled in early this year. It was 4 o’clock in the morning and Sofie and Louise were beside themselves. Nothing ever helps calm them when the clouds are crashing and flashing, but when it is the middle of the night, it seems worse. It used to be that just Sofie would freak but, my luck, about a year ago, Louise caught the shakes and now she too gets scared. Thunder vests, calming treats, CBD cookies, and even Xanax do nothing for Sofie. And, when a storm comes on quick, all that is worthless anyway. (I love how the vet says to give them stuff 30 minutes before the storm starts. Yea, right. I can do that.) I’ve pretty much tried everything I could find. Best I can do is love them through it. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem to bother the little guy or the cats. It is going to be a looooonnnnnggggg loud summer, I fear.

It’s a Wordless Wednesday, so I should let the picture stand on its own, but I thought it was a great representation of each of the dog’s personalities.
Louise is very serious almost all the time but she rarely smiles on a leash, as you can see here. She loves her walks but being outside is worrisome to her and you can see that in her face. Most of Lulu’s smiles are inside the house or running in an open private space. She is my inside happy dog where she feels safe.
Sofie, my inside neurotic, loves to be with me outside and especially likes posing. Her smile is infectious. You would never know that this is the same dog that barks endlessly inside the house and eats through doors. She is my outside happy dog as long as I am with her.
Charles, well, he is just Charles. Serious on the walks because he has a mission and has to keep up with the big dog pace but usually smiling as he trots along. He’s just happy to be included in the event. Charles will not sit down on command which makes it really hard to get good pictures of the group. Inside or Outside Charles is generally a happy guy. He’s my everywhere dog.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.

I don’t know what they are called, but I call the little tiny flowers that look like daffodils, ‘dinkidils.’
Whatever they are, they are everywhere and they make us very happy on our walks. Happy spring, finally.
Have a sunny Black and White Sunday.

These two crack me up. Mini never ever ever leaves Nine alone. Sometimes he gets tired of her. But other times, he is the instigator. Deep down I think he really loves the rumble.Watch in the video how he eggs her on.

Remember last Mischief Monday when I was telling you that Mom gives me a special treat (because she loves me the most) when Louise and Sofie are not home. Well, last week she ran out of little dog bones and gave me one of Louise’s. I was in heaven.
I grabbed that thing with both paws and dragged it over to the best chewing spot on the rug and gnawed away at it. Mom had to take it away when the other’s were coming home so that they didn’t get jealous (or bite my head off, which is also possible).
Just because I’m little doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy big dog toys.
