Bob stands on his stump seat and watches the morning rush hour. The perennially late school secretary breaking the speed limit in her little Renault , the lady with the beehive hairdo brushing the hair of her two five year old boys as she drives by five minutes after classes have started and the cleaning lady at the German billionaires chateau in her Peugeot. The itinerant Spanish melon pickers also drive by - later than usual. They are all greeted with a bark.
Sophie is deposited in a quiet spot in the garden. A spot where she can feel free to do whatever she feels the need to do. An hour or two away from her pen in the fresh air.
No doubting it. The family diva is glum. She will however get better.
Sophie is brought in out of the sunshine. Big brother guards her. Bob is taking this whole affair seriously which is an interesting insight into canine sibling psychology.
Today is the day when the new car is due to be delivered. The garage phones to say that I'll need to bring three utility bills, my passport and a certificate from the bank saying that I'm who I say I am. This bureaucracy is presumably to prevent crazed money laundering Jihadists from buying cars. It is improbable that a crazed money laundering Jihadist would buy a Volkswagen Sportsvan Loonj with a metallic dog grille.

What a good chap Bob is, looking out for his temporarily vulnerable sister.
A SCRATCHED VW Sportsvan Loonj.
Did they fix it?
Poor little possum, she does look glum but she's in the best possible hands. There's a fix, she's young, healthy and will have the best care know to Pons so the prognosis is good. One day at time now.
Cannot understand why a passport, that needs all your identification, isn't sufficient. Happens here, too.
Poor Sophie. She must be confused..
One very frustrated girl. Not happy when her brother goes for a walk and she has to stay behind.
Poor Sophie. Poor Bob. Poor all of you. But it sounds like you are establishing new routines, and taking on adapted roles. Remaining positive is the main thing and I'm sure once she has the first op under her belt, Sophie will perk up. What a test for you all.
Bob and Sophie have a world wide fan club and we're all rooting for you❤️
Hoping Sophie is improving - a ride in the new car should help her feel better.
XOXO,
Piper, Celti, Bonnie and Ivy
Bob is keeping an eye on things in the outside world, so everyone is safe at the ROF. Poor Sophie, life isn't much fun is it - how can a girl savage her big brother when she's incapacitated?
Bravo for Bob, and Sophie, too!
You can be sure that Sophie is a demanding patient.
The text book dutiful big brother.
The daily routine has been upended but dogs - and humans - are remarkably adaptable.
Thank you.
She's getting plenty of rest and is keen to join her brother in the garden.
She can make the savaging sounds.
Bless Bob's heart!
