Sophie in Marblehead, in colour.

Sending Sophie Vibes to Jax


Hope the Cat Scan turns up only good news.

One of Sophie's favourite photographers is Cindy Sherman, who did a series of self-portraits titled "Untitled Film Stills" in the 70s.

This one is Untitled Film Still #21

This is Untitled Film Still #48

This is Sophie's Film Still #1

And Sophie's Film Still #2

Shot on location at the Marblehead, MA

Our friends over at Dog's Eye View, are taking part in the Day of Blogs to raise money for Leader Dogs for the Blind.

It's worth popping by just to see how much Willow, her dog guide, looks like Sophie ... or Sophie looks like Willow.

It's also worth popping by because the Willow's and Stella's owner is a talented photographer.

And if that's not enough of a draw, then pop by to read my guest post about how Sophie overcame her issue with dog guides.

Vacation Scars

Vermont has been lovely and this screened in porch has been great during the massive downpour of the last two days.

There was lots of swimming.
See Sophie way out there?

Here's some post-swim roaching.
More on that and this little dude after we return to Montreal.

Being the tough chick Sophie is, she couldn't leave Vermont without a good vacation scar.

Excuse the blurs.
It is not a commentary on Sophie's post injury vision. These two gashes were caused by the teeth of a 50-pounder named Teddy, who just happened to collide with her in a mid-air leap for a tennis ball. Regardless, she still looks as divine as ever and despite how nasty it looks, she is fine.

Vet checked and ready to roll on home to Montreal.

Words and music to follow at a later date.

Toffee and a Riley eye.

Riley's sleak and sexy schnoz.

Hanging with T & R near the Boston Common.

A giant lobster! Thanks mom of T & R!!!! And thanks for the great walk through the Public Gardens and part of the Freedom Trail and Quincy Market.

Adventures with Agatha & Archie!

Archie

Agatha roached.

Archie fainted.

We all waded.

We met Nelly.

Wally's long lost love.

And I got another lobster!
Boston Rocks!
Rock Lobster?

Okay, there were a few words. The whole story and music later.


With special thanks to Alett, Diana and Andrew for the great company and fantastic tours of their beautiful city.

This post is dedicated to the memory of Alett's kitty.

BOSTON!

She spent several minutes looking for Agatha & Archie and Toffee & Riley.

She was a bit disappointed they weren't waiting at the hotel for her, but she did get yelled at in the elevator by a little terrier with a squished up nose. His name was Riley, but not that Riley.



She is now resting up for her rendezvous with T & R tomorrow. I am enjoying the complimentary wine dolled out for free in the lobby every day from 4 to 6. Y'all should come on down and join me.

Warning: The following post may be considered gruesome by some.

Sophie eats a Kitty Cookie

Ages ago, the enigmatic Joseph Stains sent Sophie a Kitty Cookie, but Sophie had the runs and couldn't eat it.

Eating day has finally arrived.

Bon Apetite Sophie!

And so it begins.

Decapitation

Mmmmmmm

Immobilization.

De-torso-ation.

Clean up.

Sorry Kitty.

SOCK MONKEY & FRIENDS
TAKE A BATH

HANG ON SOCK MONKEY!

Hang on.
