Today is Follow-up Friday hosted by Jodi from Heart Like A Dog. This is where we review the week behind so that we can launch into the week ahead (or something like that).
Blogfriends really liked the Sunday picture of Sofie and wanted to see the original. So here they are together. You know, I take it back but that is not in the yard by the forsythia bush, it must be down by the river because that is the crazy wild bamboo. :-)

She is so alert sometimes. I actually saw her point today by lifting her front paw like Louise does. I think they mimic each other sometimes.
There was incredible Mischief on Monday down by the river. The dogs were losing their minds because their were pairs of ducks on both sides of the pier. The ducks just kept swimming and the dogs were running from one pier to another. Ultimately they did run down the boat ramp, but I called them back because the Magothy River just received an F (as in Failure) for water quality (Vital Magothy River Water Grasses Vanish) and I worry that they will get sick. Last year, while fixing the Osprey platform, one of my neighbors dogs spent to much time in the water and got very sick. I hate what is happening to the environment.
I focused on critters on Tuesday’s Tail to get animals adopted. Don’t you just love Guinea Pigs? We so miss our crew. With 5 pigs, 3 cages, and every day run-arounds in the pig pens, it was a big job but they were worth it.

Thankful Thursday, I left to go get Peanut at college in New York and we won’t be home until Caturday. I am very excited and I know all the animals will go crazy when she gets home. The animals just seem to relate differently to younger humans. It is almost as if they treat them more like siblings.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

So glad you are joining me today for the Dogs N Pawz Blog Hop called Tuesday’s Tails! New posts go up on Tuesday but you can link up and post whenever you want all week long. The whole purpose is to feature cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, etc. so whenever you link up is up to you! Even pets from PetFinder, are fine. Let’s just get them all homes!
Dogs N Pawz said “I also want to encourage all of you to share each other’s Tuesday’s Tails posts on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and whatever other social media channels you use. The more we share the more likely we are to get the word out!”

Let’s hop to it! Today we are focused on some Guinea Pigs and a Wabbit (bunny rabbit). Guinea Pigs normally only live 4 to 6 years, so let’s get these babies in homes quick. You know how much we miss our little piggies and wish we could have some, but, alas, I think Louise and Sofie would not like that at all.

Today is Follow-up Friday hosted by Jodi from Heart Like A Dog. This is where we review the week behind so that we can launch into the week ahead (or something like that).

Angel 9
The snoozing Nine got a lot of attention on Caturday. Yes, even little devil angel cats need their beauty rest.
People saw the Yin-Yang of Louise and Sofie, in their Sunday Black & White photo. Yin and Yang symbolizes dualism, the state of life: balance. My dogs are opposites in more than their colors; Louise is shy, Sofie is outgoing; Lulu is quiet, Sofie is loud; you get the idea. I could not have 2 totally different personalities in dogs. For me they are a perfect balance.
This is like what Lao Tzu says of Yin and Yang in Tao Te King:
“Tao engenders One;
One engenders Two;
Two engenders Three;
Three engenders all things.
All things carry the yin (femininity)
while embrace the yang (masculinity).
Neutralising energy brings them into harmony.”
On Wednesday I found out that I had to take down the Sunday Cartoon from last week because Peanut’s cartoons are copyrighted and you can not reproduce them on the internet. So, I replaced Snoopy and Charlie Brown with a dog house, because DogDaz is in the dog house for being a bad blogger.


I absolutely loved the ideas you all came up with about why Sofie took her Airdog toy down to the old Cherry tree on Monday Mischief. Nellie thought she just forgot to take it out of her mouth. Binky and Jodi felt she took it so that no one else would play with her toy. Cupcake was projecting that it was for security reasons. Easy thought that Sofie would play fetch with the tree (that was pretty out there, Easy). Roxy felt it had something to do with a squirrel, and Doggie was sure she was protecting everything, the tree, the squirrel, the toy. And many many more saw it as an spring offering of some sort. Whatever it was, Airdog comes and goes, in and out, on a regular basis. Thanks for all your thoughts. Sofie definitely keeps me amused.
We were excited to join the new hop by Dogs N Pawz called Tuesday’s Tails. where every Tuesday we are going to focus on animals that need homes. I love it and will try to participate every week. Won’t you hop with us to get homes for all the homeless?
Wordless Wednesday was pretty wordy, but I am glad that you could see the fun that the dogs were having with their best friend Mo. I think friends are important for animals, as well as humans. I grew up with a singular dog (Louise Pierre Andre the 14th of Edgewood Lipton – we all wanted different names I guess). I don’t remember Louie every interacting with any other animals. I am not saying he was unhappy, because he had his humans and he loved us, but, I think that maybe animals should have other friends besides humans, when possible. What do you think?
And finally this week, Louise and I have been working through some fear stuff. Well, I have been working, she has been fearing. Maybe it is because I am not in a great space right now and she is picking up on my energy. I try to always listen to the lessons from my zoo and Thankful Thursday focused on what I have learnt from my little scaredy dog.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.
