I thought I was buying a big new cube for Louise because her’s is starting to come apart. She loves her feeding cube so much. But, it is hard online for me to size things (I always get it wrong) and I ended up with this small one. Since lil’ Charlie doesn’t play with food toys, I gave it to Sofie, who adores it!
Cubism for all!
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

Today in the United States we observe Memorial Day honoring our fallen heroes from all our wars. (Even one war is too many, I think.)
I am reposting this story from 2012 on Soldier Dogs. Those wonderful animals who were selected to serve our country along side our soldiers and performed, and still perform, an invaluable service to our nation.
Dogs are not only our best friends, they are an incredible asset to our safety forces. Thank you to all the handlers and animals that keep us safe around the world. – DogDaz

Mornings start out with 4 pills for Sofie and 1 for Louise.
Then at dinner, Sofie gets another 3, and now Charles gets 1.
On the alternate days, Louise gets 2 for breakfast, Sofie gets 4, and Charles gets 1.
It has gotten more and more complicated at the Zoo as we all age. The dogs are now 10,11, and 12.
Oh and that doesn’t include the monthly Heartworm or Flea stuff.
Thank goodness, only Noel, the Christmas Cat who is 14, gets something in the morning, and the other 3 cats are good, for now.
Does your human give you medicine? How do they do it (or maybe they do it so well you just don’t know)?

For some reason, Mommy would not let us play with our new friend that came slithering into the yard to help us plant the tomatoes. We are not sure why, but Mom made us all go inside until the Pantherophis obsoletus passed through. I think she said it had something to do with some woman named, Nagini. Have you ever met her? Mom said she might eat Charles. I said, “then maybe he should stay outside.” Mom put me in time out. What did I do? – Sofie Bear

These two are good together when they have a joint mission; like sitting at the top of any stairs and watching for intruders. Charles has begone to bark more than Sofie (if you can believe that?) to keep aliens from attacking the homefront. That includes every package, food delivery driver, or occasional friend of the family.
Sofie: Do you see anything there yet, Chuck?
Charles: Hey, Sof, we need to protect Mom from the aliens!! You with me?

Charles here: I do not understand why these humans want to just sit and watch the idiot box all evening and not give me tons of treats and play with me all night. I bark and give them hints, but they just don’t get it. I am bored. Entertain me, people!

Charles here. Nine and I shared a moment at the back door screen so we could watch the birds. At least he did not try to kill me like Noel would. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Noel does not like that Charles is so close to her pillow throne.
(Roll over the pictures to see the conversation.)

Why black dogs lie in the hot sun, I will never understand. But at least Louise found some nice cool dirt.
A nice Sunday nap after a hot spring (feels like summer) walk.
Sofie: Do you see anything there yet, Chuck?
