Stella has decided that K8’s bed is now her’s and K8 is her human. She bothers K8 day and night. “Play with me! Play with me!” I am so happy that she is bonding and building relationships away from her over powering brother, Nine. K8 took this shot in the morning as they were waking up.

What a week it has been. The animals, and humans, gave me the best birthday ever. We ate a lot. Played a lot. And cuddled much. That was perfect. Thank you all for the sweet birthday wishes. That was so nice.
I am glad to say that I am back to walking my mile with the dogs, even though it hurts. I am trying to accept that maybe, from now on, my knees are just going to be a constant reminder that I am alive. As long as the pain can stay on the nagging side and not the screaming side, I guess I will have to learn to deal. At least no surgery! Louise and Sofie are so happy to be back on the road with me. And we even are walking with Mojo rising occasionally (Louise’s boyfriend from next door).
Peanut left last Sunday to go back to school, so of course, Nine ended up locked in her room one night this week mysteriously. I swear that cats can teleport through closed doors, but it seems they can only go one way; they do not seem to be able to teleport out. He was around for dinner and snack, but V found him in the morning frantic. We did not hear a peep all night though. I do wonder what he destroyed in there (sorry Peanut, I will go check).
Many blog friends were worried that Noel would hurt Sofie with her menacing glare. Let me assure you everything is all right. We have never had a cat to dog fight in this house. Only cat to cat. Noel could do some damage if she were to get angry, so I never want to cross her.
Weather has been crazy but we are going down to the water more and more. The Osprey have returned and their nest is up and ready for the family. Amazing. I just read an article that the Bald Eagle population of Maryland has grown tremendously in the area. I haven’t seen any by me yet sadly, and I am wondering if maybe the Osprey keep them away. They sure don’t keep the Turkey Vultures away (wish they did).
Baby Stella has fallen in love with K8 and won’t leave her alone. She is in her room all the time now. I think she needs to be separate from her brother Nine, to have any chance at a voice. She did a great job of playing tag on Thursday with Little Binky of AngelWhisper.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us.

First, we must say thank you Mother Nature for the spring equinox today. Love Spring Love Love Love Love.
![IMAGE$1E37E848143F648D[1]](https://dogdaz.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/image1e37e848143f648d1.gif)
And we are thankful this week for AngelWhisper2011. Little Binky and Granny are playing tag with us. (The dogs especially like to play tag when they can chase cats, so they say a special thanks.) Binky and Granny have a very special relationship, as Granny has a gift for healing animals and has a special animal that whispers to her from the great meadow in the sky. His name was Angel, when he prowled the earth. Little Binky is some cool looking cat!
Thank you for playing tag with us. Our youngest zooling, Baby Stella, will be answering for us today.
Here are the Tag Game rules:
1. Post these rules – Done.
2. Post a photo of yourself and eleven random facts about you – Done below
3. Answer the questions given to you in the tagger’s post.- Done below
4. Create eleven new questions and tag new people to answer them.- Done below
5. Go to their blog/twitter and let them know they have been tagged – going, going, tag you are it!!!
Here are 11 random facts about Baby Stella:

Here are Little Binky’s 11 questions for Stella:
1. What do you prefer, water or milk? – There is no milk in this house, Mommy is dairy free. We drink water only.
2. Do you like rain or snow? – I have only seen it through the window, but I think I would prefer snow.
3. Do you believe in Furry-land? – Are you telling me there isn’t a Furry-land? “MOMMY!!!!! Say it ain’t true.”
4. Do you believe in Angels? – Of course we do. We have several old souls in the house but not any angels at this time. Mom says the angels only come if we need special help, but the spirit of our past loves are with us all the time.
5. What do you do if you find a lot of money? I am not sure what money is, but I would give it to Noel, since she is head cat.
6. When are you the most active and when you are the most laziest inactive? I am pretty quiet most of the time, but I like to play in the late afternoon and right before Mom goes to bed.
7. What do you do if you had to take care of your own dinner? I am sure that Noel and Nine would help me and together we would catch lots of field mice and maybe even a snake. The dogs tend to eat everything pretty quickly so I think we would have to hide from them.
8. Where would you fly to if you had wings? Not far since I am a home buddy. I don’t even go up on top of the cabinets like Nine does. I do like jungles, as I sleep hidden in all the plants in Mom’s bathroom at night.
9. How do you show your affection? I am a very private cat. I show affection when Mommy is captive in the bathroom or if there is a snack on the bed. I like to push my little big human, K8, around by poking her in the face when she is sleeping. Mom is trying to teach me to be held, but I don’t like human touch very much.
10. What color is your favorite? Brown (I am a beautiful brown, don’t you think?)
11. What smell is your favorite? FISH

Noel here – Today is Mommy’s birthday so I made her a cake.
It is a dairy free, gluten free, kibble cake, with tofu icing. (Yes, we know our Mom eats weird.) The animals and I all agree that she will love it! I used the Santa table cloth, because you know I am the Christmas Cat, and, it was the only one I could find on FaceinHole.com . We love our Mommy and all year she focuses on us so today we are focusing on her. We let her sleep until 6:30 this morning, as a present.

We are Thankful today for Peace, Love, & Whiskers, an amazing blog about amazing animals.
Peace, Love, & Whiskers takes extra special care of some extra special pussy cats and doggies and provides us out here in the blogosphere with wonderful interviews. You really need to go visit. Thank you PL&W for the great work you do in highlighting kitties and doggies that need special care and love. Several of the DogDaz rescues, canine, feline, and guinea, have all needed a little extra love to get through their days, but they have brought us tremendous joy. The Muffin Man, our orange and white Tom, had heart disease his whole life (2 pills a day), and was the king of our castle. Miss Constance Kitty was born with a crooked spine, but did great with it in her early years – until the pain got to be too much. Squash E. Bear was a two times a day insulin diabetic, who eventually went blind, but he and I would still walk a few miles every day. Mr. Motto, the king of Guinea Pigs, had pneumonia almost immediately upon adoption. It was very touch and go for over a month, but he lived another 7 years. Noel, the Christmas cat, has feline Herpes but she is doing great and just turned 6 last week. So thank you Peace, Love, & Whiskers for taking up the cause of the animals that need a little extra love.
PL&W bestowed upon us 2 awards; the Versatile Blogger Award and the Liebster Award. We are honored and thankful for that too.
Since we have been very lucky to receive these awards before, we hope you don’t mind but you can find our previous responses to the questions on our Awards page. We love all awards and appreciate them, but Mom is running out of time to get her work done, take care of the zoo, and still write the blog, so she is trying to economize where she can,
You get to pick any award you would like from our Awards page – because you are our pick of the litter!

It is starting to be nice enough to open the windows. With the bathroom window open, Nine, the Mancat, decided it was the purrfect place for his afternoon siesta. K8 caught him enjoying the moment. It get’s harder and harder to resist taking a break and going out to see the buds on the trees and the birds busy with their nesting. Ever day now the mailbox (which got bashed by some kid’s with a baseball bat last fall, so it does not close) has been full of nesting material. Today, when I came back from my walk (yes WALK, today was the first time I did my full 1 miler with the girls) there was a fully complete bird’s nest in the box. How sad, because I had to remove it and set it into the bush next to the box so that the mail carrier could deliver the mail. I tried to close the broken door to the box so they will build elsewhere, but I am not to successful. This is so exciting. I love baby birds. Good thing that my cats only see them through the windows.
Does spring air make you sleepy? Does it make you want to go out and build something?
SPRING IS SPRINGING!!!!!

Noel loves her pink bed in my office, under the window. Its funny because there are 2 beds in the office, a red one and a pink one, but she always chose the pink. After so many years it is her’s and I don’t think anyone, except maybe Nine (because he is stupid that way) would dare try and lie in it. (My human girls bought these beds at the pet store when we got Constance and Noel, so they have been on my desk a long time.) When Muffy was alive he would sleep next to Noel in the red one. I moved the red one behind my monitor and Baby Stella has seemed to taken a liking to it. As you know, Noel is with me in the office all the time and has her spot next to me under the window. She also likes my chair when I am not in it. There is nothing as peaceful as a sleeping kitty, I don’t know how I will ever work in a traditional office if I can’t take Noel with me.
I can not imagine a life without cats.
