Monday Mischief: You’re Crowding Me, Kid!
Mini just loves Charles. I am not sure that it is reciprocal. Charles loves two beings in this world, well maybe three. He loves his human, V, he loves me, maybe because I am the feeder, the walker, the one that handles any booboos or scary things, and he loves Sofie, the dog (who mostly hates his guts).
I think Charles is the first, One-Person dog, that I have ever had. We got him because V wanted a little dog, more like a dog cat, for some strange reason. It is really weird when you understand that V doesn’t even really like dogs (which is crazy when you are married to an animal-obsessed person like me). I have never considered a very small breed, I tend to go for the bigger dogs, and I never really thought about dogs that are attached to only one human.
Charles is a Pomeranian Chihuahua mix (as far as we can tell – no DNA test ever done). These breeds tend to show extreme loyalty toward and preference for only one person above all others. They will try to rule the household if that person lets them (which is definitely a problem here at the zoo). Charlie is extremely strong-minded and wants to rule the couch, especially if there is food anywhere around, which has caused several fur-raising situations.
Enter, fearless Mini Cooper. She just wants to be friends with everyone. She really likes Charles and wants to be near him. We have tried to arrange the couch pillows so they can be on different levels. They all want a lap, which is impossible. He may roll his eyes, but she will never stop trying to be near him. As you can see in this group of pictures, Mini is holding her ground (or lap as it may be). Ultimately, however, she will leave and he will get his way. Ah, the life of a small tyrant at the DogDaz Zoo.
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

CatWeek at the Zoo: Shades of Gray
This is not a black and white photograph. It is gray and white Nine on the gray carpet in a sunbeam. He looks like a kitten here. Ah, the much-desired sunspots are few in this house. The stairs are one place you can catch a few rays if a dog is not hogging the stair.

Caturday: Catching Stella
Trying to get a picture of Stella is almost impossible because even at 10 years old she is always a moving target. She is in constant motion when you visit with her. She is a sweetheart to humans, as you know, but just can’t tolerate other cats. She actually likes Louise and Sofie but does not like Charles at all (maybe because he is more cat than a dog). Meow Out Loud!

CatWeek at the Zoo: Transfixed
The cats, at least Nine and Mini, have been moving the curtains and spending a great deal of time, looking out the back window.
I thought, how nice, they are watching the world go by.
And then only this morning did I realize that V put a new bird feeder in line of sight to the window and they were watching all the action going on there. Cat entertainment is a main focus of our existence.

CatWeek at the Zoo: Mini Moment
Don’t let the sunshine fool you, it was about 10 degrees outside when Mini Cooper decided to pose for me in the cat window. It is rare to get Mini by herself in the window since that is Noel’s domain. The cold air rushes in through this old non-insulated herb window, but we keep it because the cats just adore it. At night I take all the plants out and close it with a curtain, though Noel goes in and out which kind of defeats the purpose of trying to keep it closed off for warmth. What we do for cats.

Caturday: No Longer Inseparable
I remember when these 2 were inseparable. Now it is a rare moment to find them actually touching. It used to be wherever you would find Nine, Mini would be. It is so interesting how the dynamics change over the years.

Caturday: My Chair!
Noel took over my recliner several months ago. She has been very happy to sleep in it most of the day and night. But, recently, Mini Cooper discovered that it is a very comfy place to nap; to the dismay of Queen Noel. So, Noel sits there and stares at Mini for what seems like hours, hoping that her laser beam will make the perpetrator evacuate the seat.
Finally, Noel realized that Mini was not moving, so she tried PLAN B. She sat on her. But that didn’t get Mini to move either. So that evening, for the first time ever, Noel and Mini slept together on my chair.

Caturday: Winter Windows
For some reason, Nine has been visiting every window in the house and staring out lately. I think he is waiting for something. Did he order something on Amazon that I don’t know about?
