3.30.12 Dear Reader: Question from Noel
Dear Reader – Now that the blog has grown so large I am having trouble keeping up with all my favorite blog posters and also answering all the comments. So how do you keep up with all your blog work? Please tell me how you incorporate it into your day?
With all my current duties, keeping the new kittens in line, making sure that Muffin is not bothered, making sure that Kitty does not hurt herself, sleeping 18 hours a day, dealing with the dumb dogs, and of course eating as often as Mommy will let me, I just can’t seem to keep up. Please share your secrets.
Your feline friend and blogger –
Noel, the Christmas Cat, of DogDaz.com

3.29.12 Open a new window, open a new door….
Nine and Stella are very taken with the activity outside the kitchen window. All my animals seem to love this window, maybe because it is a nice sill to lie on. The dogs like to look out the windows too, but Sofie really can’t see over the ledge. I love when we can open the windows but we get this fine green coating of pollen over everything in and outside the house. There use to be a big maple shading that window but we had to take her down last year because of ‘borers’ and lightening damage. Now the shade garden on that side had to be moved and that side has become a sun garden. Because all my cats live indoors only, the world outside the windows are something magical. Nine constantly tries to run out with the dogs, so we are having to be very careful that he does not go galloping out in all the dog excitement. The cats sit by any door the dogs are outside of and watch. Windows and doors to the world. I know there is a metaphor for some great life lesson here, but it is just not coming to mind at the moment.

3.22.12 Lessons from Sunbeams
Noel Snoozin'
What is it about a nice sunbeam that makes an animal want to stretch out and go to sleep. Wherever there is sun streaming in my house there is an animal in the line. My house faces the south, so the sun is in the front most of the day. I try to leave the front door open and let the animals look out at the street and also lie in the sun that comes through the big glass screen door. Noel, the Christmas Cat, is a very big sun worshiper. Most of the day she is next to me while I am working lying in her bed under my office window (in the sun), and then she moves to the kitchen for a while, or to the front door, if there are no dogs around. Ah, the lesson that Noel has to teach. Grab a sunbeam whenever you can. Thanks, NoNo.

Teaching Nine to Dance
He does what I do. couldeverdreamof:
My daughter C teaching Nine to spin. He thinks he is a dog and mimic whatever the humans or the dogs do. What a crazy zoo! – DogDaz
