Louise – Do you remember when we first met in March of 2010? You were so shy and skinny then. Do you remember that itchy mange you had and the pain of that collar that was embedded in your neck? It took a while for you to trust us but you grew into such a loving and sweet dog in the safety of our home. Do you remember Mr, Squash E Bear? He went blind shortly after you came to live with us and you used to lead him around by his leash. You were such a good helper to him. He really liked you. And then when we got Sofie, I thought you would never talk to me again. You really did not understand this interloper into the quiet of your domain. But you and SoSo have become inseparable. I know that you can’t image a world without her. And I can not imagine a world without you.
We love you Lulu Belle and we are so glad you picked our family to be with. Happy 5th birthday. You have my heart now and furever, – Mom

The dogs will follow me up to the top of the slide platform (which surprises me), but I haven’t been able to get them to slide down with me (which doesn’t surprise me). Sofie came closer this time than ever before; she looked down the tube. I don’t think Louise will ever slide down (it is just tooo scary). They don’t like it very much when I slide down and they don’t like when I climb on anything, now that I think of it. Maybe they’re worried that if I get hurt they won’t get dinner. Very interesting, Bark Out Loud.
What mischief did you get into today?

Sofie loves all kinds of melon: honeydew, cantaloupe, even watermelon. Louise won’t touch it. As you can see from this picture, Sofie’s eyes are intent on staring me down for my snack and Louise is clearly distracted by something in the distance (probably a cat). I always offer Lulu some but she spits it out. She doesn’t like fruit at all and will only eat her veggies cooked. Sofie loves fruit and will entertain fresh crunchy veggies anytime. Funny how black and white they are. Have a great Sunday!

This is part of the Black and White Sunday Blog Hop. Thanks to Dachshund Nola and Sugar for hosting.

Sofie and Louise were trying to teach Zelda how to pose for a photo op. The Goofballs stayed by the flowers for a long time because they are used to me taking multiple pictures at different angles, Zelda, on the other hand, bolted right after the shot. I love my goofballs! They know how to please their Mommy.
Happy Wednesday!

We spent a long time outside with Mom last weekend doing what she calls, “putting the garden to bed.” Since the garden does not seem to have a kennel that it sleeps in, we were not sure what she meant. But we helped her collect our toys from under the leafy things and chewed down lots of the grasses that were around. Lulu still likes to sun herself by the pool, even though it is closed. We love fall. There are just such wonderful smells and piles to play in.

Mini and Sofie are aways getting into something these days.
I am not sure Nine likes them in his window. He was hiding behind the curtain until they went away.
Meow Out Loud!
I can not imagine a life without cats!
