Imagine my surprise this week when Friday and Saturday were the biggest blog days of my blogging career. I didn’t know what was going on. What I figured out is that someone on Pinterest, repinned a blog I did last August on Hornero Nest Building. So for 3 days my blog traffic went through the roof. And I thought maybe I was hitting Rockstar status, but luckily, DogDaz is back to normal. Thank you to my true followers, YOU, for being here with me through the statistical ups and downs.
Overall it was a quiet week at the zoo. People really connected with the shadow dogs on Sunday. I guess shadows are part of how we know we are alive. I think shadows are cool and when you walk alone, or travel to a lot of places by yourself, sometimes they are the only document of the fact that you were really there.
We had our first snow storm on Monday, now that it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere (go figure that out). The cats really enjoyed looking at it. The dogs enjoyed eating it. Sofie did not like the icy slush on her paws, but it was over as fast as it came. By Tuesday all had melted.
As we told you, Sofie was very busy down by the beach and found the remnants of a fire in the horseshoe pit and broken glass. This is a sad state of affairs and many people shared our anger that a few rotten eggs seem to spoil the fun for everyone. I don’t think we are every going to change that anywhere in the world, there will always be spoilers, but at least, we don’t have to be one of them and the dogs and I try to leave places BETTER than we found them.
The girls and I have been walking everyday but it is not always easy and rarely pain free. Thank you all for your care and concern. I do tend to do to much walking, especially when it comes to the dogs. ICE is my friend. Actually, I should go get some right now since we just came in from our afternoon jaunt……
I am back. A nice ice pack on the knee makes a world of difference. Well, that’s it for the week here at the DogDaz Zoo. Thanks for playing along with us.

I like how you think of the shadows. So true. Sometimes it is a way of knowing we we’re there (and not vampires). There was a sign at a park we visited once that read, “TAKE nothing but pictures. LEAVE nothing but footprints.” I guess not everyone abides by that!

Thanks. That is why they need the sign, I guess.

Thanks for joining us on FUF. Sometimes I wish I had better stats then I remind myself that I’m paddling as fast as I can now. 🙂
Glad you are getting your walkies in, hopefully it will become one of those the more you use it, the less it hurts.
Happy Easter to you and the crew.
