Louise only wants to sit in the soft grass. Sofie lies in the middle of the street.
If there were ever two more contrary dogs, I never knew them.

I love this picture of Peanut and Socki taken in 2004. Socki was the most wonderful service dog for Aunt Judi, who has Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Socki was the first service dog we ever got to know and he did everything for Judi. Every year we would come up to New York to have a family weekend and see a show. Socki came to many a Broadway show with us, the Rockett’s at Radio Music Hall, and even the American Girl store. He was amazing.
There was that one time when we went to see “Beauty and the Beast,” and we had to take him into the hall because they were shooting guns and it really upset him. Oh, and that time he met a bomb sniffing dog at the concession stand and they just really got into a conversation, we guess about work.
We miss you Socki. Thank you for teach us about how wonderful a life of service can be.
Have a good year at college, Peanut.
Enjoy your Sunday.

Just in case you ever wondered what happens in the above ground parking garage when you are gone. I saw these 2 pigeons trying to break into this car. Really! I missed the shot of them pecking on the window and trying to get in. Next time I am parking outside where it is safe. Enjoy your Sunday!

Noel is trying to catch up on her blog reading. It has become so difficult to post 365 days per year and still read all the blog posts of her cyberfriends. There must be a better way, but she has just not found it. Seems like all the Reader apps are limited. How do you keep up with your blog reading?

Squash E Bear, August 2008
I attended my 40th High School reunion last weekend. It made me look back at all the wonderful people I have known, places I have been, and animals that I have had the pleasure to share my heart with. Many of you know that Squash will always be my ‘Soul-Dog.’ You have my heart big guy!
Enjoy your Sunday!

Louise is madly in love with her new squeaky duck from the grocery store. This is the longest any squeaking toy has remained whole, ever. She has to grab it whenever she sees it and give it a little “squeak!” It makes her very happy. As you might assume, it is off limits to any other animal.

Ok, so it is not a pure black and white Sunday. This is an inversion of Louise and Sofie. Being that Louise is black and Sofie, blonde, it works out to be perfect opposites. It was a hot day and they were panting which added an extra dimension of the tongue to the inversion. I like how the stuff on the ground got inverted. Have a wonderful Sunday!

Louise is a big kisser. She is constantly in my face and always wanting to give me licks and loves. Sofie, ‘Miss Standoffish’ (uber-independent), is so the opposite unless she is scared and then she wants to crawl inside me. Louise likes to stand on me (she always has a paw on me somewhere), which I think is her way of taking ownership of Mommy. I don’t like to be licked in the face (ohhh gross – I know where those tongues have been), so I taught them my version of a kissing behavior. I tell them ‘kiss kiss’ and they give me their faces so that I can kiss them on the cheeks (or give them my cheek and they kiss me).
Louise still sneaks up and licks me in the face (usually when I am lying down). She thinks it is funny. She is a big one for licking my glasses.
Sofie, the reluctant kisser, is secretly happy (I can see her smile) when she gets her ‘kisskiss,’ but she doesn’t want anyone to know.
Do you have a kissy behavior with your furry?

Back in the “Cone of Glory” again. Poor baby just can not get over these allergies. Now she is biting her tail. Changed food and now adding Omega-3 oil. Please let me find the right combo for my little astro-nut.
Just a shout out to my baby human, Peanut, on your 20th bday today. You are the dogs favorite, after Mommy, of course.

A long time ago I started calling Sofie “Soda Pop,” and Louise “Lolly Pop.” I have no idea why. I have nicknames for all my pets and many of my humans. My daughter is “Peanut” (that is because she was tiny when she was born), Noel is “Noey” or “Snoel,” Nine is “Niner,” and baby Stella is “Stella Dora.”
Here is a picture of Sofie lying in the cool grass yesterday. I noticed that her ‘snow nose” appears to be darkening (you can read about it here). That makes me happy because it has been pink in the middle for a few years and I always hoped that the summer heat would bring back the black (or maybe it was the recent allergy treatment).
Do you have a “pet” name for your pet? (and why is a nickname also called a pet name?)
Hope you have a lovely Sunday!
