"The Love"

We don't call him Simon "the Love" for nothing

Poor Simon, he misses Sophie.

We knew Simon's hearing was not to good.

(or his male selective hearing is in overdrive)

But we've decided that Sophie was his ears. He doesn't

like to be left home alone (not that I blame him)

We are letting him go with us as much as possible. But it has been

pretty cold here lately, so if he'd have to stay in a cold car. We leave

him at home & when we get back he is in his chair staring at the

backdoor. So sad. We are trying to decide about getting another doople

(that's we call our 4 legged children)

But it's hard & I miss my Sophie so much. I don't want

to hurt Simon's feelings, but he is 13 1/2 so who knows how much

longer we'll have him. Plus maybe a new brother or sister

would help keep him young. The vet always comments on how

good he looks & is for his age. He's sleeping more & not as quick

to play, but we are making an effort to play with him even more.
