Sophie's Christmas Eve in the Park

with Rosie and Max, friends from the neighbourhood.

Excuse the conversation at the beginning. Just don't listen to that part at all.

SNOW

Sophie is envious of the storms that hit south and east of us.

She thinks nothing could be more awesome that this.
The storm and the dog in the photo.

Thanks to everyone who offered their kind thoughts over the last few days.
I appreciate it and I know that if Sophie could read, she would appreciate it too. She definitely knows something is amiss. This morning, for the first time in 10 1/2 years, she rolled over on her back for full-on belly rubs. What an amazing beast my Sophie girl is.

So Long Graham

You truly were the most amazing and gentle beast I have ever known.

I hate that life was so unfair to you,

but I feel so privileged to have known and loved you these last few months.

Graham Rabbit Riggins McGrey

05-05-05 to 12-16-09

Run free and

may you never wobble again.

Graham has taken a turn for the worse.

He has gone almost completely lame on the left side of his body.

I can no longer deny that there is a neurological problem.

My heart is breaking for him.

My beautiful boy. At least he knows he is loved.

The Graham Lean

Variation on The Graham Lean

Sophie would like to be absolutely clear that she was NOT leaning on him. At no point did SHE lean on HIM.



While we're at it, here's an update on Graham.

He is doing pretty good. His back has healed quite nicely and there is no immediate need for an MRI (thank god!). He definitely hurt his back leg, which is still causing some issues and some wobblies. Hopefully, he will continue to heal. He is still under observation and may go in for x-rays soon. But x-rays on his leg, not his brain!


Despite the good brain news, he is still not the brightest bulb on the block. But he is the most snuggly.

Who needs brains when this genius is on the case.

Here she is.

The beautiful Sophie Brador

Any guesses what she is obsessing about?

Here's a hint.

Here's a bigger hint.

A new car for anyone who guessed a dead tennis ball she found on the way to the park.

And now you may admire the beast.

Sophie would like to be clear that she was on the couch first.

My birthday -- me, the human -- is December 18th and I want to go somewhere.

Sophie & Graham are booked into the spa for a relaxing five days in the country,
and Sophie could not be happier.

I need to book a flight today. But where to go?
