It seems that we are always having to make goo-goo eyes at Mom these days to get Second Supper. Why doesn’t she just give it to us immediately without our having to line up and make all kinds of unearthly noises and faces? Charles is the worst. He sounds like an Ewok from that Star movie. Or some animal dying. Me, well, I just whine and whine and whine until she gives in. How can anyone resist my smile? – Sofie

I love the yellow swallowtails on the Buddleia this time of year: that is pure summer.

It is always interesting to see the cats mirror the dogs (or was this the other way around?) I don’t know if Lulu was there first or Nine.

I am used to the dogs mirroring the position of each other. Especially these two.
Do you mirror your siblings?

Mom says that I could join the circus as a contortionist, whatever that is. – Charles

Memories: On a hot summer day, in 2014, Louise’s boyfriend next door, Mojo, wasn’t home but they went over to swim with his baby sister Zelda instead. It was so much fun. Louise really wanted to play with Zelda’s toy but she would not go in the pool to get it. Louise doesn’t like to get wet (she hates rain too). Sofie, on the other hand, was brave and got all the way in. She loves to swim but has trouble with puppies. That day swimming won over puppy fear.

I am not a summer dog. I pant even in the dead of winter, so this summer stuff is not helpful.
Turn up the fans, Mom!!! – Love, Sofie Bear

Year after year, the ducks return to teach their young how to swim in the river. Sofie wants to help, but they don’t appreciate it very much. Who taught you to swim?

My human sisters were very scared when Nigini showed up at the pool party. He sure is a good swimmer.

We hope that you have a wonderful holiday. Remember that many animals (and humans) are afraid of fireworks, so keep everyone indoors and safe.
