Follow Up Friday: Protect, Honor and Remember

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).

blackcatIt is Friday 13th.  Please make sure to keep all black cats inside today.  People are cruel, especially when Friday falls on the 13th of the month and Halloween. 

Louise started the new medicine this week.  She did not tolerate it very well at first, but we seem to be getting the hang of it.  I will keep you updated on her progress through the weeks.

Last week, Caturday started with a funny Russian sitting cat.  Doesn’t his back hurt after a while?

Black and White Sunday was a view into the dog’s vigil by the pool fence, waiting for either a squirrel or fox. They do take turns but Sofie seems to sleep on the job a lot.

Sofie Sleeping

The dogs went swimming in Mojo’s new pool on Monday Mischief.  Sofie absolutely loved being in the pool once she got over the initial fear.  Louise won’t even try it.  Mojo is in it every moment.  He also got a new sister this week.  Her name is Zelda and she is 7 weeks old from the same Labrador breeder that Mojo (who is 5) came from.  Louise and Sofie have not met her yet, but I bet she will be a swimmer, just like her big brother.

Tuesday’s tails had a ton of FREE cats.  What an incredible gift that someone gave to the shelter to pre-pay for so many cats to help get them homes.  I do hope that people saw this as an opportunity to adopt.

Wordless Wednesday fell on the anniversary of the 9/11 Tragedy.  It is so sad to think of the meaningless killing that went on that day.  So many lives were lost.  It is just so heart breaking.  I was up in NY visiting my sister a few weeks after the attacks, and we went into Manhattan (it was her 50th birthday).  I cried when I saw the armed guards at the entrances to every tunnel and bridge.  I’ve seen that kind of police presence outside the US, but never here before that.  My friend Susan survived the attack at the Pentagon.  She was one of the luck ones a few rings in.  This pointless killing really needs to stop, don’t you think?

Thankful Thursday gave me the opportunity to thank all the people and animals that live their lives in service to keep me free.

May you know safety, and love, and freedom, now and forever. Thanks for reading.

That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us.  Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

Wordless Wednesday: Nine Rules or Nine’s Rules

2012-12-12_19-18-55_615

If the animal kingdom can figure out how to live together, why can’t we humans?

Remember the fallen and the brave today in honor of the September 11 tragedies.  May we War no more.

Caturday: The Russian Sitting Cat

thefluffingtonpost:

This Cat Knows How to Sit

This is Niki, a Russian cat who does one thing extremely well: sit. She’s a champion sitter. She can sit on boxes, on couches, on countertops, in bathtubs.  You name a place, and she’ll sit there.

Check out Niki on Instagram and Facebook.

Caturday: Cats of Israel

Peanut has been sending me endless picture of the cats that are all around her at school.  She says that Israel has millions of street cats and that they are mostly well taken care of.  These are some that inhabit the student village where she lives.  They try to come up in the elevator to her dorm room but she says then they never want to leave.

I can not imagine a life without cats. Happy Caturday.

Follow Up Friday: Queens & Dons & More Queens

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).

Another flat-out running to the finish line week.  I have started walking the dogs twice a day if I can, so that they and I get some rest (funny to think of walking dogs as restful, but for me it truly is my heaven).

QueenNoel
Last Caturday, Noel was being the royal girl that she is.  Someone noticed she was giving the ‘down’ signal with her paw.  I guess no one got their head cut off so we made it through the royal cat viewing.  She really is the boss around here.

Louise, showed her Italian side on Monday Mischief (no offense to that part of the family).  No one ended up “sleeping with the fishes,” so again, we survived the test.

I see a pattern here that was never intended.  Do you?

We highlighted a wonderful 12-year-old named Kitty on Tuesday’s Tails.  It is getting really hard each week to watch all these senior animals be taken into the shelter and struggle to find new homes.  Please adopt a senior, if you can.

We were definitely looking for words on Wordless Wednesday to describe poor little Sofie sticking her head over the windowsill trying to see me as I was leaving.  Sometimes Louise is there too, but you can’t see her because she is black and the camera just does not pick her up.  If only you could hear Sofie, whine whine whine.  “Mommy, oh, you are leaving me!”  What a drama queen.  I guess she an Noel will have to battle for the crown this week.  You can just make out her ear, eye, and nose in the air.  BOL

Sofie Window closeup

We are very Thankful Thursday, for all food, but especially for COOKIES!!!  Everyone around the zoo loves their treats.  Sofie is a chewer and Louise is a goobler.  But, most of the time Louise waits and then cleans up Sofie’s crumbs (of which there are many).

Where did that week go?  Hope your’s was royal and good fun.
