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).
With the heat of the summer, I was not surprised that on Caturday, Noel slept her usual 18+ hours. What a perfect life a house cat has. I wish I could sleep even 6 hours.

As the heat continued, Louise plopped herself down on the deck in the shade, and I caught her rolling her eyes on Black and White Sunday. It really isn’t the heat but the humidity that is getting to all of us.
Ok – so maybe it was only 5 or 6 but it felt like this.

So I figured we would go have some fun in the field, but as you saw on Monday Mischief, we kicked up all the bugs and then the swallows decided they wanted us out of there and swooped to kill.
This week was $10 for any cat over 10 lbs at the shelter, but for Tuesday’s Tails we found a black beauty named Viola that we thought would be a great addition to any family.
The heat finally broke and we have had some nice mid-80 degrees days, but I still can’t get the dogs to go in their pool. Wordless Wednesday, featured Louise with her toes in, but Sofie snubbing her nose at the whole thing. I was actually in their pool, but not even that made them want to go. Oh well.
Thankful Thursday featured an incredible rescue of Ozzie the Osprey from a fishing line. If you haven’t seen the Osprey-Cam, you really should go check it out. Life in the nest, in real streaming video.

Still no job yet, but I am redoing my resume (for the 10th time) and trying to focus more on defining the best of my skills. I wish that PetBlogging was a full time gig. That would be a perfect life for me and the zoo.
Peanut leaves tomorrow for 10 months overseas for school. Sofie has already claimed her bed as her domain. It will be interesting to see how well we can all Skype and will the dogs really understand it is her. I know that we want our birds to leave the nest, but sometimes I do wish I could hold on to her just for a moment longer. I guess this weeks lesson for me comes from Tom and Audrey Osprey – tying them to the nest could have deadly consequences. FLY PEANUT FLY! (But do come home next summer to visit.)

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 ❤

Your best hope is that they settle some place within easy reach. For several years my daughter lived out of state but I was still working and could visit once a year and they came home as often as possible. After the service they settled 90 min. away and we were able to visit. Now they are only 2 blocks away and it is so nice to be able to drop in each day if I choose.

That is nice. We have one in the middle of the country, one back in her room until she finds her own place near by, and now Peanut, far far away. I miss the actual hugging part, though, thankfully the internet makes closeness feel a little easier

My favorite day by far was the pool (or no pool) day. Hilarious!

I hope you get to visit her and don’t have to wait until next summer to see her. Tommy came home today after 6 weeks of school for a couple of hours before he leaves for a week on his graduation cruise with a friend. His cat is very mad at him because he left him to go to college. I don’t think they are going to make up before Tommy leaves this afternoon. 😦

Oh yes – cats take a long time to forgive, not like the dogs. Peanut has been all over the animals for the last few days, realizing how far she will be. I hope to go in January, but until I find a paying job, all trips are off. And then, how do I tell a new employer that I need 10 days. But of course, if that employer is me, even harder to get away. Funny that Tommy is going on his HS Graduation cruise after being at College all summer. LOL Thanks for commenting

My human mommy is looking forward to seeing what the dogs think of Skype. My human daddy travels for work, so he’s gone all week, and the humans have thought that Skype might be fun and that I might like it. Have a great weekend!

We will post as soon as we get it working. I do know that the cats have skyed but they just wanted to really walk on the keyboard not interact with the caller.

Thanks. Cats are great relaxers. I really need to learn from them. Peanut had her sunroof open and Sofie really was enjoying it. I hate humidity!
