DogDaz Zoo: Equinox Blessings

23 Sep

Hi. Bearnard here, reporting for the DogDaz Zoo!

Fall came fast –  and so did my allergies.

I love to walk in the crunchy leaves, but all that autumn fun makes me itchy. Then I start biting my paws, which makes Mommy worried. I had my Cytopoint shot last month, and take Benadryl every day, but Mom says it’s not really helping. I really hope I don’t need another shot.

Still, the fall plants are beautiful, and we’re enjoying our morning walks. Mom say’s she’ll take more pictures if she has a hand free (we’ll see about that).

Mini Cooper had a rough time with a bad tooth.

She had to have one of her canine teeth pulled. (Funny that they call it a Canine tooth when she is a Feline, right?). She is doing much better now.

She was yapping and yapping for a while, and we couldn’t figure out what she was trying to say. When you have a chatty cat, it can be harder to interpret their conversations.

The anesthesia – or maybe the painkiller shot – had her loopy for about 3 days. But once it wore off, she was back to being her usual Mini self. The photos above? That’s her yelling at Mom to start their daily laser tag game.

Fall is Mom’s favorite time of year.

Not just because Halloween is coming (her all favorite holiday), but because she loves the autumnal equinox too. She says it’s when the Earth “tilts to fall” here in the Northern Hemisphere and it marks the start of the new year in her heart and for her people.

It’s her time to count all her blessings, clean her slate, and start fresh. She says we get to start fresh too – more apples and honey for everyone! (Except me. I hate fruit. And I hate veggies. I am a pretty picky eater for a dog.)

Oh – and Mom went to the Maryland Renaissance Faire with Peanut

Peanut loves cosplay. She makes her own costumes and even her own chainmail. She is one of our other favorite humans.

When they came home Mom gave us new names.(Don’t ask, just roll with it.) Jolie, the Magnificant and Bearnard, the Brave.

Jolie, the Magnificant

Bearnard, the Brave

What’s your medieval name? Enjoy the fall. 

Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤

    What a fun update! You kids have been pretty busy. I am also busy – trying to be a good girl. I am still afraid of a lot of random things. On Saturday, some people on The Food Network were making a carrot cake and it scared me for some reason. Mom says just when she thinks she has me figured out, she doesn’t! Have a fun autumn! xo

    Sloppy kisses,

    Delilah
