Things have been crazy lately. Mom has been traveling the last two weeks even though she ripped her knee. She came home on the weekend to see us, which was nice, but she still could not walk long distances. We have been going to daycare at least every other day when she is gone. She is coming home tonight and we understand that she has cancelled any future trips until she can get through a couple of weeks of physical therapy. We are really going crazy without being able to walk everyday down to the river or around the neighborhood. We know Mommy wants to walk us but it is just to hard for her now. And it doesn’t help her that there is snow on the ground too.

We are the protectors (that is my paw there protecting Mom’s leg) – Sofie

We like to lay on Mom!
Noel misses Mom a lot too when she is gone and doesn’t come out of her office much except to eat. She doesn’t want to talk much to anyone when Mom isn’t here. Then when Mom comes home, she wants to be close to her but us dogs are much bigger and we want Mom’s lap, so Noel just has to wait. We know that Mom makes time for everyone when she can. Noel is her special baby.

I think I will just sleep until Mom returns. No fun without her.

Mommy says that she is very thankful for us dogs because we have been helping her exercise her bum knees and keeping them safe from cats and other things that may hurt them. We like to lie on the couch with her and hold her fuzzy blanket down. Also, we really like to get in her face when she is trying to do those lie down and lift your leg thingies she has been doing lately. We are all over her as you can see by these pictures she snapped of us helping. Well, I’m helping, Sofie fell asleep (again). – Lulu Belle

Mom took her suitcase and left again. We really wish that she would stop doing that. She only got back just the other day from being down south and now she said she is heading north. Well, I guess it is another week of playing at daycare for us, which isn’t so bad during the day, but we really miss her at night. I have been sitting on her feet since she came home last Friday night, but that did not seem to work to keep her home (I really thought it would). When she comes home Louise and I like to be as close to her physical being as we can. We cuddle up on the coach with her or sit on her as much as possible. Last week when she was gone our big little sister, K8, took us to daycare and let me drive the car (don’t tell Mommy). Maybe this week she will teach me to parallel park. – Sofie Bear, the Speed Demon

Mom, can you solve a problem? Lulu says that black dogs are smarter than blond dogs. Is that true?
Sometimes, Mom’s just have to do magic to answer the more difficult questions.

Well, Sofie. What do you think? Are they?

This is a blog hop. I hopped it from Snoopy’s DogBlog. Check them out for more mischief.

Gimme that! It’s mine!
Doesn’t matter what the toy is, if one has it, the other wants it. In the end, Louise usually just gives it to Sofie, since her jaw is so much stronger, she rips it away and then puts it in Sofie’s mouth. Very interesting play my girls do.

Remember Beaver? (Check out: “Good Night, Beaver” for more details) Beaver is Sofie’s lovey. Beaver goes everywhere with Sofie and she can’t sleep if she doesn’t have him. Beaver was a toy that was actually bought for Louise the day I brought Sofie home to live we us. But Sofie decided it was hers, just like she does every toy in the house. Beaver is very important and I now keep him locked up in the kennel during the day because (1) if Louise gets ticked at Sofie, she tries to rip Beaver just to upset her and (2) Sofie tends to get a little protective of Beaver.
I find that some dogs really have an attachment to certain toys (like Sofie does) and others could not care less (like Louise). Because Beaver is now locked up during the day, Sofie has taken to carrying around an ‘airdog’ and whining and carrying on over it instead. At least the ‘airdog’ is a bit more durable, especially out in the yard (where I try to make sure Beaver never goes). One night Beaver did go in the yard and you had to see me walking around with the flashlight to try and find him so that Sofie could go to bed. Oh my, what we do for our furries.
So the other day V came back from the pet store with something really amazing for Nine. A mini Beaver. Now the 2 best friends, Sofie and Nine, have their own matching lovies. Awwwww. Nine’s however, you can fill with catnip. Too cute.
