2.7.12 5:45: Let us in!!!
Sofie & Louise waiting with toys
The dogs have decided that it is time that they get to go in the safe room with the new kitties. So they are camped outside the door with their toys. There is a lot of whining going on from Sofie (the whiner), but I am resistant. And since the upstairs litter box is right outside the kittens door, ‘The Muffin Man’ has decided it is a great launching pad to get in the room as soon as a human opens it. Muffin has enlisted Miss Kitty to help him try and get inside. I think that between the whole group of them they may figure out how to actually turn the door knob. (I know that my Alice cat used to be able to get up on her back hunches and turn a knob years ago – so I am a little concerned.) 2 weeks is a very long time to have the kittens locked away, but we are not going to the Vet until Friday (which will be the first week). Then we need to let them out slowly to experience the mob on the other side of the door. I am thinking that I will let them out together, because there is safety in numbers, but I it has been a long time since I introduced 2 new animals at the same time. (Sofie is helping me type (whine whine whine) and wants you all to know that she is going to do everything she can to get over the barricade and see what is on the other side. Louise just wonders if it is food.) Sofie is actually whining extra bad because C’s boyfriend, whom she absolutely loves, is here and he is a cat person, so they immediately disappeared in to the kitten room. “No fair!” she whines, “Why is D not playing with me, I know he is here!” This is going to be an interesting 2 weeks for sure.
This is my house, let me in!
What is going on in there?
Why are we locked out, Muffy?
This is just too funny.
Just another DogDaz morning at zoo! ❤
2.4.12 6:36 Welcome to the Zoo: Unnamed Baby Girl & Nine
not-yet-named Baby Girl
I would like to introduce you to the 2 newest members of the zoo. Drum roll please!!!!!
Here is our not-yet-named 5 month old baby girl. I never had a brown tabby before. She talked the whole way home and does not appear to be afraid of anything.
And here is our other newest member, ‘Nine.’ I named him that because he is the ninth cat to reside in this house. The family is starting to give me grief and rethink his name, but I like it. Nine appears to be about 1 year old. Right now he is a little overwhelmed and is hiding under the couch in the safe room.
Nine
This brings our cat count back up to 5. We are so excited. Right now they will have to stay in separate space for about 2 weeks, until we are sure they are not sick or carrying anything we do not want the others to catch. The dogs and Miss Kitty are already waiting at the closed door of the safe room because they know something different is behind it. I do hope they are fine and that the vet gives them a 100% rating.
Our hope is that these new babies will be cuddlers and help fill the void from the passing of Cuddles and Zackary earlier this year. The 3 older cats are just not lap warmers and we really miss that.
Welcome home our little rescues. They are from Last Chance Rescue through the PetSmart Charities. And I want to give a shout out to Peggy, who made the whole adoption thing the easiest we have ever had (and we have had many).
Not just another DogDaz at the zoo – it’s a CATDAZ! ❤

My teacher - Squash E Bear
You will see that I added a Memory page to the blog yesterday. This page is to honor all the wonderful animals that have shared their time on earth with me. I have been very lucky to be the human they chose. I am a rescuer. For some, they come in their early years and get a good start; for others, they come to live out their last days, months, and some years. Many have illnesses, physical or emotional; some mend, some need lifelong care. I am blessed. They have all taught me so many lessons; unconditional love, patience, kindness, community, and caring. I will always be eternally grateful for their gifts. And, I continue to learn from the current residents of the zoo.
It’s just another DogDaz morning at my house. ❤
