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!

There is always hope where there is love.
Please foster and adopt.
We all have the ability to transform the life of others.
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!

Louise is not allowed on the living room couch, but she is tall enough, when she cheats and stands on it with only her front paws, to look out the big picture window down into the back yard (which is one story below since this is the second floor). We live on the high point of a court and are less than 1000 feet from the river (which we can see in the winter when the trees are bare), so we have a great view from our picture window. I assume she is either looking down the block at human or dog activity, or spying birds or squirrels that are right up at her level high in the maple tree. She is wearing her summer ribbon collar (which I found at a craft show one winter) made out of a neat palm-tree piece of ribbon. Louise loves summer and I like to think, since yesterday was summer solstice, that she was watching astronomical summer arrive. Gosh, I love that dog!

Louise is a wonderful gardener if you give her a nice spot to dig in. BOL!

This is Puck. He’s beautiful Australian Cattle dog mix. He was found as a stray in Baton Rouge and his foster caregiver ended up adopting him!

Just like Groucho Marx.

Zuma is an English Cocker Spaniel was born with blue eyes and a tri-colored coat. But his beautiful colors came at a price. The same genes that made him so beautiful also left him deaf and with a form of tunnel vision. He was facing euthanasia when his rescuers, the St. Louis Senior Dog Project, swooped up and rescued him.
This is the most unique Bernese Mountain Dog I’ve ever seen.
These dogs are awesome not only because of their amazing coats, but also because they’re loyal, friendly and loving dogs!

I’ve been noticing that Sofie is always sideways or upside down. Is that a submissive thing or is she just being silly? Louise, on the other hand, tends to have this look in most of the pictures like I have really ticked her off: “Oh, Mom, will you stop with all these pictures already!” Capturing the blond and black in a way that works in pictures has it’s challenges. Half the time if I have Sofie’s coloring right, Louise’s eyes disappear in her beautiful darkness. When I get Lulu right, Sofie seems over exposed.
They are a lesson in contrast, not only in fur color but in personalities. Sofie walks off lead and stays close, Lulu is on a harness with a heavy leash (she is unpredictable and easily distracted). Sofie barks at everything and whines and whines and whines, Louise only barks when she has something important to say. Thunder unnerves Sofie, but not Louise. Louise loves her kennel and at bedtime she opens her kennel door, goes in by herself (I think she would close it on her own too if I taught her how), eats her cookie, and goes right to sleep. Sofie has to be bribed to go in her kennel anytime and puts up a big fuss at bedtime (“No! I am not eating my bedtime cookie because I do not want to go to sleep. I am on strike! Blah, blah, blah, whine, whine, whine). I love my studies in contrasts.

Relaxing on the deck on a nice spring day. Caught a shot of Sofie day dreaming.
