K8 caught this shot of Sofie waiting on the other side of the laundry room cat door. No wonder the cats hide.
(Oh, yes, duct tape is my answer to every thing that needs fixing around the house.)
Happy Wednesday.
This is a Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop. Thanks to BlogPaws for the hop. Head over there and see what they are blogging about.

I love how Noel thinks that I can’t see her.

Time to clean up the christmas decorations
reblogged from http://corporation-cats.tumblr.com/post/38615426703
The cats are always amazed by the lights of the Christmas tree (which you can see reflected in the window behind Noel and Stella). K8 caught them watching the twinkling from a safe distance. Nine, of course, was already climbing the tree, doing his best to undo all the wonderful decorations that K8 and V were putting up.
Don’t forget to celebrate the shortest day and longest night of the year (Winter Solstice) today in the Northern Hemisphere. We gain a bit more daylight every day now until the Spring Equinox.
I can not imagine a life without cats. Happy Caturday.
Keep the furries safe this holiday. Here is a little reminder list of what to be careful of for your cats and dogs (and rabbits and guinea pigs and potbellies, and probably ferrets too) this season:
Bones – Small turkey and ham bones can lodge in the throat, stomach and digestive tract requiring surgery to remove. Also, the fats and gravies that you may add to your pets‘ food can cause diarrhea and vomiting (and ultimately pancreatitis (Yuk!)).
Christmas Trees – These create a whole realm of dangers for your pet. Poorly secured trees can fall on rambunctious pets as the run around or try to climb them. Pine needles can cause GI irritation and perforation. Sharp or breakable ornaments should be kept well out-of-the-way of curious mouths and paws. Christmas trees may contain additives and preservatives, which leech into the water and can be toxic if ingested. Tinsel, yarn and ribbon can cause linear foreign bodies (get wrapped up throughout the intestinal tract) and create a blockage and/or possible perforations.
Electrical Cords – These are always a hazard to curious kittens and puppies. But the extra lights and decorations give even more temptation. Make sure that all electrical cords are in good condition and out of reach.
Holiday Plants – Many plants can be poisonous to you pet. The holidays add a few more to that list and include mistletoe, poinsettia, lilies and holly (the berries are especially toxic).
Lost Pets – The holidays make it easier for pets to sneak their way out of the house with the extra guests and visiting friends going in and out. Be sure to keep identification on your pets and keep them contained in a bedroom if you are expecting a lot of foot traffic through your front door.
Sweets – Holiday candy can cause GI problems and become toxic once ingested. Chocolate is one of the most common causes of toxic reaction in pets. The darker the chocolate the worse it is. Do not place wrapped boxes of chocolate under the tree – dogs can sniff them out. Also be sure to keep the candy dishes covered so playful paws aren’t tempted to fish them out.

Let’s all have a safe holiday season!

Not sure what he did but Nine sure looks guilty to me. Noel on the other hand, has a halo.

Today is Follow-up Friday hosted by Jodi from Heart Like A Dog. This is where we review the week behind so that we can launch into the week ahead (or something like that).
Today is Friday the 13th. It doesn’t bother me, but some people have triskaidekaphobia (the fear of the number 13). Now that is a wild phobia to have. Personally, 13 has always been a good number and day for me.
It is really nice to be back in the States and home with my humans and furries. The dogs and I are back in a regular walking routine, despite Mother Nature trying really hard to force us in side. Snow, slush, sleet, hail, you name it, but mostly really really cold rain.
Working hard to return to a regular daily blog hop routine but that seems to be harder than you think. We started this week with Caturday and featured our Noel waiting for the snow fall. She is such a sweet girl. White on white.
Black and White Sunday was a shadow of Lulu Belle and me walking in the winter sun. Sometimes that is the only way I can get a picture of me and the pups.
Monday Mischief showed the doggies with big fluffy snow flakes, except the flakes seemed to be invisible. The only way you knew that I was telling the truth was by looking at Louise’s black fur. Bark Out Loud (BOL).
We did not know what was in store from the weather until later in the week. Wordless Wednesday caught Sofie from the upstairs window waiting on a newly snowed on deck for Louise to run by. They dogs really like slipping and sliding in the new fallen snow.
That’s all I was able to hop for the week – but of course, everyday there is a DogDaz Zoo pic for you. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out this Friday hop below and you can go play with others.
