Fall has arrived, The pool is closed and the foliage is turning brown. The days are getting shorter and the weather is perfectly perfect. The Autumnal Equinox is upon us.
As the season’s change, I wonder how the environmental cues affect domestic animals. Since we live in an environment with artificial light, and heat, and cooling, how much of the seasonal changes really affect humans or pets? The dogs are absolutely friskier in the fall and the spring. I don’t know why, but they are. Sofie’s nose changes color between winter and summer (she has what is called Snow Nose- you can read about it here) and her coat gets darker too. Other than that, I don’t think they’re affected much.
How does the change of seasons affect you and your furbabies?

We have a new dog walker. Her name is Amanda and her service is called Synergy Pets. Rachel, from Simplifido, moved away and now Amanda is our new friend. I have not figured out that she is actually the dog walker, so I go with her. Remember, about a year ago, I stopped walking with Rachel. No matter what she did, I would not budge. But so far, Amanda seems to know how to get me up and walking. I don’t want Louise to have all the fun; until it starts raining, or snowing, or the wind is blowing too hard, or something scares me…. you know what I mean. – Sofie Bear
Photos by Amanda to Mom at work to show her that I actually went for a walk.

Mom isn’t very good at being wordless, though the pictures could stand on their own.
But, we love the fall. Leaves in the water. Crisp clean air. The shadows change.
What do you love about fall?
Hope you are having a great Wednesday.

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood,
a beautiful day in the neighborhood,

won’t you be my neighbor. (Mr. Rogers)

If you are celebrating Rosh Hasahana, we wish you a very sweet new year.

Tomorrow (September 22) at 10:21 am EDT it will officially be Autumn for us (the Autumnal Equinox). How can that have happened already? Wasn’t it just spring? There is nothing more incredible than the changing of the seasons. Mom loves autumn best of all. She loves the crisper days, and the fall tones of orange, yellow, brown and red. As the plants end their growth cycles and creatures go south or under ground, it makes us aware of the renewal that will come on the other side of winter. Sofie and I are both born in fall. Maybe that is why Mom loves this season so much? I was born on Halloween and Sofie on Thanksgiving (or at least that is what Mom tells us). As we kiss summer good bye, we say thank you to the earth for the wonderful colors, warm waters, butterflies and birds. Bye Bye, Summer. – Love, Louise
Have a wonderful Wednesday.

We were walking in the neighborhood and noticed that some people are really clear about where their property ends and their neighbor’s starts. Mom said that trees don’t care about boundary lines. The leaves fall freely where they may and don’t get all caught up in what side they are on. We like that idea. Animals don’t care about property lines either. That is why humans define our space with fences and such, because we would be like the leaves and go everywhere. If there is a squirrel in your yard, we are going to chase it no matter what! That only seems right.
What Mischief did you get into today?

Louise and Sofie love to watch the world go by and I love my fall garden. The beautiful physostegia were an accidental addition when we took some blood grass from my mother-in-laws garden and they came along.

What is it about the shift from August to September that makes everything change? Does the universe know what a calendar is or that we flipped a page? It must because this morning was so crisp and so… fall like. The leaves are starting to fall into the pool, so sadly, it will be closed this weekend. Summer is over.

On the brighter side – I LOVE FALL!!!! I can smell the pumpkins and the wood in the fireplaces. I can feel the earth going to sleep, so that she can renew and restore and awaken in spring. I like wearing sweaters and taking long leaf falling walks with the puppies. I enjoy the turning of the leaves and the incredible colors and sites that they produce. Fall is home to me. Fall is comfort, like a bowl of good soup.

I am thankful for fall. What does the change of season mean to you?
(I know some of you are going into Spring right now, and that is OK too. BOL)
