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).
How did the end of June happen? Is this Follow-up or Fall-behind Friday – I am not sure anymore. Sorry if I haven’t commented on your stuff in awhile, just trying to keep my head above water – but you are all still making me smile so hang in there with me.
Last Caturday I was looking at pictures of Nine when he first came to us. They said he was a year old, but we just don’t think so. At 2 1/2, he is still such a little man. Cat age only matters to humans though, the cats don’t really care. Here’s another one from his first days at the zoo.
Nine
Black & White Sunday was the girls after a romp in the water. I added a little grain otherwise you could not see Louise in all her darkness. The balance between the two different coats pushes my minimal photo skills. Wet dogs really teach me about coats: Louise dries before she even gets out of the water, but Sofie…. she is wet for days. Kind of like my curly hair. BOL
By Monday Mischief we were in major chew on each other face mode. Louise just gets so jealous when Sofie wants to lie anywhere near me on the coach. “Mommy is MINE!” They are so funny. In the end, I leave and they wonder what happened. When I return we all chill better. You may remember this picture of them protecting my knees, nicely, from both sides. That is the way I like it.
Tuesday’s Tail focused on some senior puppies that need new homes. Many of you were so upset that people would give up their older sweethearts. It is heartbreaking. But I think about a few things. In these economic times, maybe they want to ensure their elder pets get fed and medical care which they no longer can afford to give them (OK, it’s a stretch.). Or, which really upsets me, the owners are placed in a nursing facility that does not allow animals. I really wish that nursing homes did allow people to take their senior pets with them, I would die quick without mine. Hopefully, I will never have to find out. ADOPT A SENIOR!!
I am happy to say that Sofie is doing somewhat better today. You read her story on Wordless Wednesday. Since it has been 4 days since the vet visit, I took the cone off and am letting her work off the bandage. The vet said try to keep it on 3 to 5 days, so I figure it is safe to start giving her, her head back. The cone really depressed her big time.
You have all been so thoughtful, especially about the conehead toe incident and also my job situation. On Thankful Thursday, as always, I say my blessings. And now, it is Friday.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.
Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤

Those cones really do upset the poor animals terribly. Hope the recovery is going well and have a great weekend.

Cone off – running even with a limp. Cone on – depressed and not moving.

You are right about age – us pets don’t seem to care at all, but humans are hung up on it. I guess going through life not worrying about it is easier than having to worry about it.

Thank you for joining the blog hop, I hadn’t thought about the owners going into nursing homes, it’s still sad though. As much as I’d like them to be able to keep their pets I think it would be far more work for staff to add caring to pets to their daily duties. In some cases the elderly patients can’t even care for themselves, so they certainly wouldn’t be able to care for their pets. :–(
I do hope your knees are better and I love your outlook about your job.
Have a great weekend.

It’s always fun to visit the zoo! And, fun when together we look back, and forward, and then rest in the present moment. The zoo is good at the present moment thing and I love it!
