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).

Mommy, Is that you ?
Peanut and I got home on Tuesday; me from visiting her in Israel, she now visiting me (or at least her friends) for a few weeks until school starts again. It was a great trip. I have not been there since 1966. The country has changed a great deal since then.
I sure missed the doggies this trip. There were dozens of cats around but not many dogs. It is interesting the different energy that there is when you are surrounded by wild cats vs wild dogs. I guess I just don’t worry so much that a cat is going to bite my head off.
Noel (above) was waiting patiently for us to arrive. She has taken to my office again while I was gone. She did not spend much time in there when I was in China so I was glad to know she is back in her pink bed.
While away, I featured the many animals of Israel: the cats of Jerusalem, the animals of the biblical zoo, the birds of Masada, the goats of the Judean desert, and of course, more cats of Jerusalem. Now that I am home I will start to focus on the DogDaz zoo again. The cats have had the run of the place since the dogs were at Sonya’s, so they are a little miffed that the dogs are back. It is always interesting to watch the dynamic change when I and the dogs return and we turn the house upside down with our noise and our playing.

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

The beach along the Mediterranean Sea is very strict. We found this sign that FORBID us from entering. So we didn’t.

Peanut and I were walking along the side street back to our hotel last evening in Tel Aviv and we were followed home by this shadow dog hiding on the side of a wall. There are interesting animals in all kinds of places if you just keep an eye out for them.

“Oy Vey” means “Woe is me!”
You won’t believe this, but Mom has left on an airplane again. This time she has gone to Israel to visit Peanut at University. Peanut has been gone a long, long time (Mom says since August) though we hear Mom talking to her on the computer, we don’t smell her around here much anymore.
We are going to Sonya’s for a nice little vacation until Mom gets back. Peanut says there are millions and millions of feral cats in Israel and she is taking care of many of them at school. Mom is looking forward to meeting them and taking pictures, but she especially looking forward to hugging her baby – for a very long time.

Here is one of the Israeli cats that Peanut sent a picture of. We do hope Mom leaves them all there because we have enough animals to deal with at the zoo.
You know Mom checks the blog wherever in the world she is, so don’t go anywhere. She will do her best to respond to your comments as quickly as she can (if she ever takes a break from hugging Peanut).
