I always found the idea of cats writing things funny. I don’t know why and I don’t try and explain it. It just fits.
Tis the season. Smoking season that is. Although I smoke and grill year round. And thankfully I’ve never had a grill related incident with any of our dogs. And they, of course, know exactly waht’s coming when you light up the big metal box of meats.
The truth is Sophie knew when to bark and when not to. She didn’t bark often so when she did, we payed attention. That’s our Weezy’s job now. She alerts to anything out of the ordinary and thankfully comes and gets us if Gunnar’s having a seizure.
One thing we do for the younger fosters is freeze old socks and dish towels. They make awesome chew toys for teething dogs.
That’s Sophie’s real bowl holder. We found it at a local craft festival and couldn’t pass it up.
Stella was re-named Luna after she was adopted. That’s the name she will have in the graphic novels. Stay tuned for some previews of her adventures in “Sophie” book 3.
Luna’s adventure continues. In the upcoming graphic novel I expanded on this storyline because I had the room for expensive sets and costumes. Sophie takes Luna on quite the adventure. Oh, and Annie goes along this time!
This is based on one of my favorite real life fosters, Stella. Her mom changed her name to Luna and she’s living an awesome life. She’ll have her own story in “Sophie” book 3 and I included a picture of the real life Luna.
When you have a baby, nothing beats a furry vaccum cleaner.
Now you will forever picture doughnuts with ears. Creepy, huh?
I’m pretty sure Dunkin’ had a sandwich like this at one point.
Sophie’s change when our son was born were astounding. And instant. One day she was a goofy, aloof lab and the day he came home she turned into mama bear. To be honest it was shocking. When our son came home from the NICU, a visiting nurse had to make housecalls. On the first visit she put a scale on the dining room table and we put our son in the scale. The second she moved to the table, Sophie bolted and wedged herself between the nurse and the table.
We were stunned and took a second before reacting. We had never seen this behavior before. I’m pretty sure the nurse peed a little. From then on, Sophie’s world revolved around our son.
We still have this chair. And despite all the canine traffic, it’s held up well. I do miss having a Sophie on it.
