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!

Peanut got up to go to the potty.
The spot was so warm and smelled so yummy.

I am helping V sweep the leaves off the deck. This is great fun. I lie here in this pile. Then I lie there in that pile. Why is V hitting me with the broom? What did I do? I just want to help move the crunchy brown leaves around.

Why is she making us sit here on this beautiful afternoon when we could be playing in the water?

This chair is so weird and uncomfortable. I am going to fall right through it.

Why is it so hot in October? Mom says we broke a heat record today. Maybe she should reopen the pool?

I’m out of here! Tell me when fall actually comes to the Mid-Atlantic.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Do you tie knots in your leashes? Tying knots in my leashes helps me when walking the dogs. With 2 dogs, I do a dance with both leashes most of the time. I use 6 foot leads, of a good weight, and I tie a few knots in them (usually at 3 and 5 feet marks). When I drop a lead, which sometimes I do on purpose to free my hands and pick up ‘you know what,’ and sometimes it just happens, I am able to immediately step on the leash, and because the knot is there, it is less likely to run under the arch of my foot. And there are the times that one dog is closer than the other (which happens often with 2 on the left), so I choke up to the 3 foot knot and don’t have any drag on the ground (I hate muddy leads). It makes me feel like I have a bit more control when I am walking, though I know, if I really need a leash to walk the dogs, I don’t really have any control at all. The dogs humor me though.

Dear Mom –
I just want you to know that no matter what anyone says, you are the best Mom in the whole wide universe, I don’t mean to wake you up at 3 AM barking at nothing. Or chase the cats. Or whine endlessly while you are trying to go to sleep. It was not my fault that the loud noises over head with those light flashes made me so scared that I ate through the door to find shelter in the laundry room. I don’t like noises, Mom. They hurt my head and I want to attack them. I am really sensitive and I don’t like when you are not in the house with me. I stick to you, like thistles stick to my coat, because you make me feel calm and safe. It is not my fault that my brain is wired a little different than other beings. I have these terrible dreams at night and they wake me and make me want to attack the air. I need to always be sucking on something to calm my nerves. Thank you for all the toys, especially the catnip toys, that help me find comfort in every room. Together we can overcome anything, Mom. I am your fluffball, your ‘sodapop.’ I am your Sofie Bear and I know that you rescued me because we were meant to be together. I love you, Mom. I hope that my face shows you that everytime I look at you.
– Love always and furever
Sofie Bear.
