Mommy got home 2 weeks early from China (yeah!!!!)
just in time to celebration the DogDaz Blog 2d Anniversary
(and American Thanksgiving)

She made this cake last night and we were going to have a welcome home and anniversary party today, but…

Sofie couldn’t help herself…

It may take a few days for Mom to get over her 13 hour rapid long-distance transmeridian travel desynchronosis (aka jet lag) but she is back in the pack!

Since there are no real live animals in Shenzhen, China, it seems, Ears and Turtle have taken a much larger role in the day to day entertainment department for me. Not having a furry to pet is making me cranky. So, Ears decided he would hop in my briefcase and try to come to work with me.

Sofie would do the same thing if she were here.

STUDY: Dogs Also Look Silly Wearing Google Glass
A new study from the University of Waterloo in Canada has concluded thatdogs looks even more ridiculous than people when wearing Google Glass.
“Wearable computer is clearly the future,” said lead researching Avery Bayard, citing the aforementioned Glass, as well as Samsung’s Galaxy Gear smartwatch. “But the manufacturers have work to do to make them attractive.”
According to their research, a majority of people thought that Google Glass just looked strange on those wearing it. That number was even more pronounced for dogs.
“There are definitely advantages to these devices,” said Bayard, “but fashion isn’t one of them.”

Obviously they have cats somewhere in China. I found food and litter.
There were signs of cats in a very small aisle in the grocery store,

- Chinese dog treats in the grocery store. I don’t see dogs anywhere, though.
There were also dog treats, but I have only seen 2 strays and 1 leashed dog in 3 weeks. No cats. Hummmm….. I am really having animal withdrawal. There are also no ground animals, no rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, not even snakes… but I’ve been told if I go in the back of restaurants I will find rats. Oh, I did see a bird at work last week. I never realized how much I am tuned into the ‘other than’ human vibrations around me all the time, and without them, I am starting to get off balance. I contemplated going to the Shenzhen zoo, but I am afraid that it might upset me if the living conditions are poor.
I miss my furries. Sorry to whine.

Nine is actually home, in the house, but Sofie is not there waiting with him (as this picture may imply). He is probably wondering where she is and why his doggy pal is not around to play with.
Stella, on the other hand, is very happy that the ‘chasers’ are not around. I hear that she is taking full advantage of a dogless house and is coming out much more.
Here is V Skyping with me in China. Now you probably understand why the dogs are at Sonya’s: it’s not safe when I’m not there – wild animals roam the living room. BOL

Sonya sent me an email with pictures and said that Louise and Sofie are doing fine staying in her care and with all their friends.
They seem to be having a relaxing time while I toil away in China working. Ahhh, it is a dog’s life for sure.
They all went on a walk in the woods which must have been fun.

Sonya said that Sofie has been busy each night protecting them from foxes (or possums or raccoons or something — that they can’t see) and from deer.
They have a foster, Dee Dee, in the red harness next to Louise in the bottom picture, that actually whines even more than Sofie!
Dee Dee really likes Sofie, Sonya said. She thinks it’s because Dee Dee used to live with a blonde Cairn terrier that Sonya just placed in a new home a few days after they come in to rescue.
That is Louise in the middle of the dalmatian pack. The back row is Oreo, Millie & Jolene. In front of Jolene is another black dog, Spunky and Sofie is under the chair on the right.
This sure made me smile a million miles away – Thanks Sonya for taking good care of my puppies.
