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.
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.
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!

We love to run in the field on a lovely fall day. We have to wait until all the kids are gone from the school yard, but then… it is all ours. Just Sofie and me (and Mom, of course). – Louise

In the United States yesterday we entered our winter time change by rolling back the clock 1 hour. “Fall back, spring forward.” Since Mommy walks us when she gets home from the office, many days it will be dark in the winter months. So she bought us both these reflective vest. She says “now cars can see you when we are walking.” I understand why Louise needs one because she is black, like the night, but me, that is just silly. Mommy really should have one for herself, come to think of it, because she is always dressed in black and the cars may hit her first before they ever see us. We also got to use our vests for Halloween when we dressed up as school crossing guards. My vest is kind of tight but Mommy pulls it to fit on my tummy. We are ready for walks in the daylight again and winter hasn’t even started yet. – Your reflective blond friend – Sofie Bear

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.

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.

When we got to the dog park there was this weird building in the yard. We don’t know where it came from or who brought it. Louise and some of my pals went to sniff it out. Mommy says it is a quick place for us to go if it starts raining or worse, thundering. It smells OK, so we may need to mark it with our scent a few times to tell others we have been here and checked it out. – Sofie Bear

When the girls run at each other like this, it just cracks me up. This is one of their favorite places to get crazy. We do this several times a week down by the river at the end of my street. It is one of the few ‘public’ places (when there are no humans on the dock and no one at the play ground – which is during the week days mostly) that they can run free. For a laugh, take a notice in the video when Louise jumps over Sofie so quick that she rolls her. This spot is called Breezy Point (listen for the wind and you will understand).

Mom got this great puzzle at the discount store called “Hunt & Munch,” and we actually can figure out how to get to the treats. You see, the last puzzle Mom got us was so complicated that even she couldn’t get the doors open. With this new one, we have great fun knocking out the little blocks to get to the yummy treats hidden underneath. After a few tries I figured out that I can let Louise (with that Hound nose of her’s) do the heavy work and I just wait until she knocks over the blocks and then rush in and get one.
We all have our special skills, right? She is find and I am eat. – Sofie Bear

Sometimes when we go to the dog park it is filled with black dogs, other days it might be brown dogs, or Shepards, or Pit Bulls. Today was a Labby day at the park. We don’t mind who is there – we are mutts and have a little bit of everyone in us, so we are all family!
