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).
The weather broke beautiful this week from that terrible heat we have been having. They call the warm weather of late autumn, Indian Summer, so I am going to call this, Indian Winter. (reference: Deedler, William (Fall 1996). “Just What Is Indian Summer And Did Indians Really Have Anything To Do With It?”. National Weather Service Detroit office.)) I am not complaining, it is marvelous. Actually Indian WInter supposedly happens in the spring when you think winter is over but then it snows, but I think all this cool weather in summer deserves a name too.
On Caturday, the 3 cats were on the bed for their late night snack. These 3 only come together for eating. It was easier to take a picture when there were 5 then it is for 3, I guess Noel really wants nothing to do with the young ones. I can understand, because Nine is a bully. Here were the 5 in bed with me before we lost Muffy and Cuddles.
Black & White Sunday was a cool shot of the dogs in the sports field. I think the mowed grass looks like waves in the ocean. What do you think?
Of course the dogs were up to their usual Mischief Monday. We were sitting nicely on the couch watching a TV show when they had to toss and bite for a better position near me. Actually, I should say Sofie did, since she seems to always be the one to start something. BOL.
Sofie: I want to be a cat so I can snack on the bed too!
I showcased 2 new seniors on Tuesday’s Tails. It is so sad when seniors are in the shelter. I do hope it helps them find their final homes. I wish I could create a no-kill safe home for animals 7 and older. Wouldn’t that be great. Shady Acres. They could live out there lives or find final homes. Oh Dog, I don’t want to think about the amount of care that would take – I can dream though, right?
Wordless Wednesday were our constant pool guests – uninvited but always welcome. We have several pair of ducks that return year after year. I do wonder if they are generations of the previous families? How long do ducks live and do they come back to the same nesting spots year after year? We like to name them. Last year I had 7 males that hung together in the bushes all the time. Duck Gangs!
There is so much to be Thankful for and Thankful Thursday focused to the heavens and gave you a beautiful dog cloud. I love cloud formations and pride myself on seeing all kinds of things.
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 ❤

I love your Shady Acres plan! Every time there’s a lottery worth a LOT of money I buy a ticket. And people always ask what I could possibly do with all of that money? Save LOADS of senior dogs from death row, that’s what! Let them live out their days happy, safe, looked after and secure! Girls can dream.

Get up there, Sofie! Just make a jump for it. I bet those kitties will scatter and you can score some cat treats for a bedtime snack.
Love and licks,
Cupcake

She would love to, but we have a no dogs on bed rule. Though I do know she sleeps there when I am not home (because of the big warm spot).

We are enjoying lots of Indian winter this summer and we love it. Neither Mom nor us dogs are fans of hot weather, so this is perfect!

I like the sun to heat the pool, but otherwise, I am a Northener living in the south and I can do without the humidity

My dogs don’t understand why the cats are allowed up on the furniture either. Sometimes life just isn’t fair. 🙂

Thanks for joining us on the blog hop, you had quite a bit to follow up on! I’m with you, I’d love to have a place for dogs to live out there days happily. I hate that so many dogs end up in rescue. I even like the name you’ve picked out, Shady Acres. Wouldn’t that be wonderful~
