It's my toy!
I think it is funny how dogs want to possess everything; especially if another animal has it. Louise and Sofie only want a toy if the other is playing with it, and then….. oh my goodness, the whining that comes out of Sofie is ridiculous. I really am going to have to get a tape recorder and have you all listen because it is like the world has ended and she really is in pain. “Mommy, Louise has this…. Louise is taking the ring…. look Mommy, it’s mine… mine….MINE!” Now I can’t say that Lulu is much better because just when things calm down she goes and steals something from Sofie’s pile. The other day I gave them both bones before I went to the store, so that they might behave for C while I was gone. Well I came home to find that one bone was played with while the other was almost perfect.
I said give it to me!
They only want what the other has. I never know if I should buy two of the same bones or toys, or just one. They both play with the same one until it is destroyed, eaten, or taken away by me, so why bother getting two. Currently, their favorite backyard toy (which actually I think has sneaked into the house, because I just put it in the toy bin (come to think of it)), is a destroyed soft frisbee that Mojo’s humans were going to throw out because he had eaten out the center. Well, not only do they love it, but it also has become a favorite of Miss Kitty. Kitty likes to roll on top of it and cover it with her fluffy body. She thinks that Sofie can’t see her hiding it. You can imaging the pandemonium that ensues when Sofie realizes that Kitty is trying to pull a fast one on her.
I got it! I got it! I got it!
Another interesting dynamic is that Lulu likes me to pull the rings and gets really ticked off when Sofie hones in on the play. So I got a three ring pull, but they both want to tug on the same ring. Hummmm…. very interesting.
One of my greatest pleasures is watching my two goofballs play. They are silly and funny and just make me stop for a minute in my busy day and remember what is important. Now don’t go telling them the truth – all the toys really are mine! Just another DogDaz at our house <3.

Dear DogDaz Readers – Mommy is going out of town on a business trip this week so we girls will be with the other humans. What that means is no walks; we just go out back in the yard and maybe can look out the front door. Mommy does set it up so we can go to doggie daycare and play with our friends every other day, if the other humans will take us there. It is not as much fun when Mommy is gone, but we understand that is what keeps us in dog food and chew toys. The other humans do their best to hug us and pat us on the head (especially the young one, she let’s us on her bed). We will go into Mommy’s office and sleep in our usual spots and hope that she comes back soon. Maybe with cookies in her suitcase.
Just another dogdaz morning at our house ❤ – Lulu Belle & Sofie Bear (as narrated to Mom before she got on that big silver bird that flies)

My teacher - Squash E Bear
You will see that I added a Memory page to the blog yesterday. This page is to honor all the wonderful animals that have shared their time on earth with me. I have been very lucky to be the human they chose. I am a rescuer. For some, they come in their early years and get a good start; for others, they come to live out their last days, months, and some years. Many have illnesses, physical or emotional; some mend, some need lifelong care. I am blessed. They have all taught me so many lessons; unconditional love, patience, kindness, community, and caring. I will always be eternally grateful for their gifts. And, I continue to learn from the current residents of the zoo.
It’s just another DogDaz morning at my house. ❤

Winter has finally settled in. The windchill bites through your skin like a razor. The dogs and I still go on our daily 1 miler but it is not so comfortable for the human. I tried to capture a little series of our travels. You can see that Louise and Sofie are not very good followers. It is their walk and I am just a weight on the end of the leashes. That is me in the red bacalava face mask. It really does help if you need to protect your face (though I worry that my neighbors may think I am coming to rob their houses). My gloves are so big that I keep dropping the leashes, but the dogs think that is funny. The last picture is a self portrait of the 3 of us. Well, it is just another freezing dogdaz morning at my house. ❤
