Monday Mischief: Hunt & Munch
Mom got this great puzzle at the discount store called “Hunt & Munch,” and we actually can figure out how to get to the treats. You see, the last puzzle Mom got us was so complicated that even she couldn’t get the doors open. With this new one, we have great fun knocking out the little blocks to get to the yummy treats hidden underneath. After a few tries I figured out that I can let Louise (with that Hound nose of her’s) do the heavy work and I just wait until she knocks over the blocks and then rush in and get one.
We all have our special skills, right? She is find and I am eat. – Sofie Bear

Black and White Sunday: Robbers
Just in case you ever wondered what happens in the above ground parking garage when you are gone. I saw these 2 pigeons trying to break into this car. Really! I missed the shot of them pecking on the window and trying to get in. Next time I am parking outside where it is safe. Enjoy your Sunday!
This is part of the Black and White Sunday Blog Hop. Thanks to Dachshund Nola and Sugar for hosting.

DogDaz Zoo: Major Catnip Bust Rocks Local Community
Major Catnip Bust Rocks Local Community
The DEA announced that, in partnership with local law enforcement, the agency has successfully closed a six month investigation into major catnip trafficking syndicate based in the small town of Gibbs Falls, North Dakota. The operation ended with 12 arrests and the seizure of over 2,000 pounds of catnip. Street value: $1.4 million.
“We’re happy to get all that nip off the streets,” said agent Monica Payne, who lead the undercover operation, posing for months as a catnip buyer.
The cats involved in the ring were importing the illicit substance through Canada. Most of it was destined for Midwestern cities like Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago and Detroit. But what made this ring so dangerous, said Payne, was that they were also “cooking” the catnip into a highly additive designer drug known on the street as “scratch.”
“Scratch has ruined a lot of lives,” said Payne. “And cats only get nine.”

Caturday: Wisp of Hair
Muffy & Gertrude on my desk
Both Gertrude and The Muffin Man (aka Muffy) are gone (picture from 2011), but sometimes, when I look to my left from my computer, out of the corner of my eye it seems like they are still there under the window. But alas! They are not, it is just a wisp of cat hair floating by.
I can not imagine a life without cats!

DogDaz Zoo: Data Driven Zoos
Penguin watching made with data.
Before data became a household name, zoos depended on good weather and maybe the birth of a cute, baby elephant to draw crowds. Now they’re able to keep visitors coming with social media and analytics. Like The Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma, Washington. It feeds the public’s interest in the zoo with data by taking what they learn from comments on social media and offering special deals and membership events on the fly.Explore more stories →
DogDaz Zoo: In Memory Of Laughter
DogDaz is very sad with the too early passing of Robin WIlliams. Hope this little video brings happy memories. There really are no words when something as sad as this occurs. My thoughts are with all those who suffer such pain inside themselves. Scientists have been unable to explain whether or not animals are able to consciously end their own lives, but we know that humans can. I hope that animals can’t. – Lorian
