DogDaz Zoo: Comfort Your Fearful Dog

Good article on comforting your fearful dog.

“Fear is an emotion. Emotions are involuntary responses.

Reinforcement refers to an increase in behavior. Behaviors are voluntary responses.

Fear is something you feel. Behavior is something you do.”

Caturday: Love Taps

3-11-17

“Hey! Mini Cooper! Want to rumble in the jungle with me?”

“Go bother someone else, Nine. Get lost!”

I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Caturday: 3 Spot

3-4-17

Everyone is trying to catch the sun spot. Sometimes they all want the window at the same time. Gosh those winter windows sure do get dirty. The cats don’t mind. Sun gets through all the same.

Wordless Wednesday: Waiting 4 Our Friends

3-1-17

When the rain stopped the other day, I finally was able to take the canine trio for a dry walk. I left the front door open in case the cats wanted to catch some of the fleeting sun rays. As we came walking back down the street, I saw Nine and Mini Cooper watching our return. Were they happy to see their dogs returning? Maybe they were happy because they know that in the afternoon after I walk the dogs, everyone eats? But maybe they weren’t happy at all. Maybe they were saying to each other, “Drat! Here come those slobbering idiots again!” Personally, I like to believe the former – they miss their friends when they are gone.

I am glad that my 4 cats are indoors only. I am not sure that I could keep up with 28 wet paws coming in the front door on a rainy day, 12 are quite enough. Happy Wednesday.

Caturday: Leaning on the Fire Stick

2-25-17

Noel, the Christmas Cat, and the baby, Mini Cooper enjoying the late winter rays. Mini is leaning on the ‘fire stick’ plant. I know it is poisonous and that it could burn their mouths if they eat it, but they don’t seem to bother with it. This is the second one we have grown in the house. It is also called a Pencil Cactus.

Wordless Wednesday: 4 On The Floor

2-22-17

A rare capture of the 3 dogs and Mini Cooper in the living room.

Starting bottom left, counter clockwise – Sofie is gnawing on her bed. She doesn’t tend to lie on it, but, as you know, she aways has to be gnawing on something to feel secure.

Charles is hoarding all the toys that were on the floor. He really has been liking the big dog’s flat unstuffed animals. Here he has a ‘cat’ cat toy and Louise’s big blue flat dog. He actually enjoys nibbling on the stuffies for a good while.

Louise is supervising. She doesn’t play much unless I am on the other end of a toy or there is food in it.

Mini Cooper is getting ready to do her usual high jump in front of the big fish tank. You can find her flying high in the air quite often. I think she is trying to give the fish a heart attack (lucky they can’t have them). She likes to sleep on that particular dog bed too. I think mostly because that is Louise’s preferred spot.

The cats all like the big dog beds (even Noel sometimes). Interestingly, I have not seen Charles try any of them. Maybe he knows that Sofie gets possessive of anything that ‘might’ be hers, or maybe it is because his ex-pen is right there with his bed from the shelter, or because there is another one on the couch (spoiled new comer that he is).

Black and White Sunday: King of the Tree

2-19-17

Mr. Nine is on top of the world.

Well, actually, he is on top of the cat tree in the living room. Whoever is up there seems to take great pride in the position (for as long as it lasts). I don’t know where he got that scratch on this nose (it looks like a dot in this picture), but I assume it was from Mini Cooper. They were probably fighting over just this thing: Who gets to be king/queen of the tree? Here at the DogDazCats2 Zoo, watching the cats play ‘king of the hill’ is a constant form of amusement for the humans.

Nine is such a handsome guy. Love you, Niney!!!!

Hope you have a warm Sunday!nolasugar_bwbadge_pm

img_0584I just love watching Nine’s face as Mini Cooper decides that she has the upper paw. Do you notice how in each photo his eyes get bigger and bigger?

Wordless Wednesday: Love Is In The Air

2-15-17

There seems to be love in the air between Noel, the Christmas cat, and Charles, the Mugwump. Noel does not get this close to any other dogs. Right after Valentine’s Day. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
