Puppy Lulu 2010
Lulu in the leaves
Lulu loves Mojo
Big Girl Louise
Gimme that! It’s mine!
2015
Louise, aka Lulu Bell, aka BooBoo head, is one of the sweetest dogs once she knows you. From the day this shy, fearful, mange-covered, pup with a collar embedded in her neck, came to the Zoo, she has taught us much about patience and quiet strength.
Happy 12th birthday my sweet girl!!!!

I tried to get a picture of all 3 dogs in the fall montage at the entrance to my neighborhood, but Charles did not like it at all and wanted to go home. He is not one to sit quietly and look pretty and I made the mistake of trying to force him to sit, which ended with him trying to eat my hand (no damage done).
The next day, I got Louise and Sofie to sit in the grass but because Sofie needs to lay down (she can’t sit very long anymore because of her arthritis), she is kind of hidden behind a bush. At least Louise will listen and look at me (sometimes). 🙂
Another DogDaz Photo Fail. Happy Fall!

If Mini is in the boat, then Nine wants to be in the boat. If Noel is in the box, then Nine wants to be in the box. If Nine is in the box, then Mini wants to be in the box. If Noel is anywhere, Nine and Mini want to be there. You get the picture.
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Relaxing is getting kind of difficult around the zoo lately with all these ghosts, goblins, and skeletons hanging around. I think the humans have gone a little batty.
How’s your October going?

I caught another moment of mirroring from these two. I actually think it is Charles mirroring Sofie. The act of mirroring another’s position “is a sign of comfort, trust, and rapport.” I think it is the way that Charles shows Sofie that he is in sync with her. I don’t notice Charles doing it with Louise or the cats, but I do notice Sofie and Louise with each other and them with the cats.
I have often talked about mirroring, even between the cats and dogs. It happens way to often for it to be random. What do you think?

Charles here. Did I tell you that I am the only dog in the zoo that is allowed on the bed? I am super special (or is it because sometimes I am mistaken for a cat?).
The big dogs can’t even get on the bed anymore even if they wanted to because they can’t jump that high and their hips don’t work. Mom has steps for me to climb because I really can’t get up by myself either, but they are little steps for me and the kitties.
Mom sometimes lifts Sofie on the bed in a thunderstorm (all 55 lbs of her) because she gets tired of sleeping on the floor to keep Sofie and Louise calm (not sure it works for Sofie but it does help Mom). Lulu hates being on the bed so Mom doesn’t even try with her 65 lbs of solid muscle.
Me, I love the bed. I have been told that my little 17 lb self becomes the size of a St. Bernard at night. Who, little me?
