I know, I am not supposed to give the dogs new toys when I come home from trips, but I can not help myself. You see, it all started about 18 years ago, when Peanut was little. There were these inexpensive little bean bag animals that you could get for about $5 in a cart in the airport (I mostly traveled out of Washington National, in those days, now called Reagan National). I started buying a bunch at a time and keeping one in my suitcase for when I traveled (which was often), that way I always had a little something for the baby when I got home (I know that is a terrible habit to start for kids -“what did you bring me?”). Who knew that those little bean bags would end up being called “Beanie Babies” and become all the rage for little kids for a while. Anyway, I digress.
I think that is why I give the dogs a new toy when I come home from a trip. It’s called “Mommy Guilt.” But they don’t mind. They just like to play with something new. This trip, it was an orange Wubba-Wet in honor of the blizzard named Nemo (it is a good snow toy but luckily we only got rain).
Post Script: Here are some pictures of Mom trying to get home right before the blizzard on Friday. That is the plane being deiced. The snow was falling about 2″ an hour and had just started. We are glad she made it out of New York.

Stella likes to sleep on K8’s bed and until now had it all to herself. But, since Mommy was gone so much recently, and Big sister K8 was the dog sitter, Louise discovered K8’s bed. It appears that Stella was less than enthused by this event. (Photo by K8)

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

We must protect Peanut’s bed at all costs. Do you understand?
No cat is going to be on Peanut’s bed!
Are you out of your mind, Nine? We said “NO CATS!”
DOGS Rule! CATS drool! Yay for us!!

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?
