Mama is sleeping so me and Sophie has some time to do what we want to. We have rested in the spot of sunshine in the big bedroom with the tall window that opens up and you can walk out of it on the side porch. I don't got no thumbs so I can't open it. We ate some food. We played tug of war with that toy that Mama calls "ratty old rag". Me and Sophie hide it so she can't throw it away!
Mama is tired. She told Doggy Dad that she busted her butt for the last 3 days. I looked at her butt but I couldn't find the busted place.
Today is her brother's birthday. I like him cause he fed me bologna and cheese. Sophie don't know him yet. Maybe when he can come home she will meet him and he will give her bologna and cheese when Mama is not looking. Mama sent him a funny card and told Doggy Dad that she hopes this will make him smile. Her eyes were leaking when she said that. I don't understand my Mama. Her eyes leak sometimes and she don't smile. That's when I lick her face and wag my tail and then she says she likes doggy kisses and then she smiles. I told Sophie that is my main goal: make Mama smile.
I hope you got some one like me in your life to make you smile. Me and Sophie are always happy and try to make sure the humans around us are just as happy.
Mama watched a dog show on her TV. She said me and Sophie were more purty than any of them. She said the bestest one of all them dogs was 10 years old! He was just a plain old brown dog. I got lots of black and some white, Sophie has got lots of white and some black. Mama said one day she is going to that dog show. I hope not. It's in a place called New York and that sounds very far away. Me and Sophie would go with her and keep her safe. I am practicing my grrrr's and wooooooof's so I can sound mean even if I look all sweet.
Mama is waking up and I gotta run lick her face and look at her butt again. I hope that busted place is better today so she can play with me and Sophie.
Paws Up!
Lucy and Sophie (mostly from me cause Sophie ain't as smart as me)
