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.
Have a wonderful Sunday wherever you are!

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.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.

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.
What odd things do you lean on?
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

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

Though it is over 100 degrees today here in the mid-Atlantic, the days are getting shorter and the nights mostly cooler. The leaves from the big tree and the pines are starting to clog the pool skimmers, so Mom is thinking about closing the pool for the season. You can see how much help I give her when she is doing her early morning cleaning and chemical experiments. When to close the big blue pond is always a dilemma because it is so pretty to look at and it means that another season has come to an end. What do you think? Close or keep cleaning the leaves out?
Too many words for a Wordless Wednesday! Enjoy! – Sofie (I had the heat) Bear

The family did the annual summer migration to Sunset Beach, North Carolina, without the zoo. The dogs went to summer camp at Miss Sonya’s and the kitties stayed put with Sonya visiting everyday. I don’t know how to vacation without interacting with animals, so I seem to spend time seeking out the company of strange furries; like this cat that is at the flea market every year. Can you believe that this lady was wearing her Schnauzer on a hot day? We learned that Boyten Spaniels are the state dog of NC, though we met this one jet skiing in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. And we met a cute not-Louise black dog at the coffee shop. The jellyfish were stinging and we had to use too much vinegar one day for the pain, but the weather was extra special nice.

The pups were tremendously happy when we all returned home. Kisses and smiles all around. The cats… well you know they ignored us for at least 10 minutes, and then Mini had to tell us all about her week.
