Squash E Bear, I know you understand, wherever you are, how much we miss you. Fall was your season. Your coat would get so full and fluffy. How you loved to put your nose high in the air and sniff the change in the wind. It is like yesterday you would crunch through the leaves and make a nest. Six falls have past already without you and yet, I see you still under the big tree, watching for a rabbit or a squirrel to come into the yard. Fall was always our time big guy. Hope they have leaf piles over the rainbow.

Mom just thought the new coats with hoods were the coolest things and would keep us dry. I HATE IT! I refused to walk one step until she clipped my leash on in the normal way and got that stuff off my ears. Louise was OK with it – she does not like to get her head wet. Maybe in a really bad rain I will change my mind, but Mom needs to understand that my ears are sacred and should never be covered. HEAR THAT MOM! You need to get me a coat that covers my underside and my legs so that my feathers stay dry. Now that I could go for… maybe. – Sofie Bear
What mischief did you get into today?

Soulful, serious, loving, funny, playful, loyal – that’s Louise.
How would your human describe you?
Happy Sunday!

On this, our American Veterans day, I wanted to honor the Military Working Dogs, and of course all the active service people and veterans that have protected me and my family and my nation for many years. Especially remembering my Dad who served honorably in the Army during WWII, and took a bullet so that I could be free to be me; my Uncles, my Mother’s 4 brothers, all who fought and came home to their single/widowed mom; and my brother-in-law, who saw the worst of Vietnam, and still remains a wonderful gentle man.
Thank you very much.You will never be forgotten.
Have you ever thought about adopting a Military dog when they come home? http://missionk9rescue.org/

We have a new dog walker. Her name is Amanda and her service is called Synergy Pets. Rachel, from Simplifido, moved away and now Amanda is our new friend. I have not figured out that she is actually the dog walker, so I go with her. Remember, about a year ago, I stopped walking with Rachel. No matter what she did, I would not budge. But so far, Amanda seems to know how to get me up and walking. I don’t want Louise to have all the fun; until it starts raining, or snowing, or the wind is blowing too hard, or something scares me…. you know what I mean. – Sofie Bear
Photos by Amanda to Mom at work to show her that I actually went for a walk.

A dog’s tongue has more responsibilities than any other part of the dog anatomy — excluding the brain. And oddly enough, for all its duties and actions, it is one of the most maintenance free structures of all the dog’s body parts! – Toungue Talk

Mom isn’t very good at being wordless, though the pictures could stand on their own.
But, we love the fall. Leaves in the water. Crisp clean air. The shadows change.
What do you love about fall?
Hope you are having a great Wednesday.

Sofie’s view from the stairs on a Sunday morning after a long walk in the park. Surveying her queendom and making sure that only eligible subjects pass to the upper level (that included Co-Queen Louise).
Have a wonderful Sunday!
