5.14.13 Tuesday’s Tails Blog Hop: Critters
So glad you are joining me today for the Dogs N Pawz Blog Hop called Tuesday’s Tails! New posts go up on Tuesday but you can link up and post whenever you want all week long. The whole purpose is to feature cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, etc. so whenever you link up is up to you! Even pets from PetFinder, are fine. Let’s just get them all homes!
Dogs N Pawz said “I also want to encourage all of you to share each other’s Tuesday’s Tails posts on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and whatever other social media channels you use. The more we share the more likely we are to get the word out!”
Let’s hop to it! Today we are focused on some Guinea Pigs and a Wabbit (bunny rabbit). Guinea Pigs normally only live 4 to 6 years, so let’s get these babies in homes quick. You know how much we miss our little piggies and wish we could have some, but, alas, I think Louise and Sofie would not like that at all.

No ducks were harmed in the making of this slide show.
But 2 dogs did get very wet in the river even though Mom said not to go in!

5.12.13 Black & White Sunday: Sofie & the Forsythia
You can do such cool things with Instagram. I like how I was able to make this look like a picture from the 1920’s or even earlier, when they used a different type of film process. Sofie is standing in front of the forsythia bushes. I think she looks like a proud herder. Happy Sunday!

5.10.13 Follow Up Friday: A Week In Balance
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).
Angel 9
The snoozing Nine got a lot of attention on Caturday. Yes, even little devil angel cats need their beauty rest.
People saw the Yin-Yang of Louise and Sofie, in their Sunday Black & White photo. Yin and Yang symbolizes dualism, the state of life: balance. My dogs are opposites in more than their colors; Louise is shy, Sofie is outgoing; Lulu is quiet, Sofie is loud; you get the idea. I could not have 2 totally different personalities in dogs. For me they are a perfect balance.
This is like what Lao Tzu says of Yin and Yang in Tao Te King:
“Tao engenders One;
One engenders Two;
Two engenders Three;
Three engenders all things.
All things carry the yin (femininity)
while embrace the yang (masculinity).
Neutralising energy brings them into harmony.”
On Wednesday I found out that I had to take down the Sunday Cartoon from last week because Peanut’s cartoons are copyrighted and you can not reproduce them on the internet. So, I replaced Snoopy and Charlie Brown with a dog house, because DogDaz is in the dog house for being a bad blogger.
I absolutely loved the ideas you all came up with about why Sofie took her Airdog toy down to the old Cherry tree on Monday Mischief. Nellie thought she just forgot to take it out of her mouth. Binky and Jodi felt she took it so that no one else would play with her toy. Cupcake was projecting that it was for security reasons. Easy thought that Sofie would play fetch with the tree (that was pretty out there, Easy). Roxy felt it had something to do with a squirrel, and Doggie was sure she was protecting everything, the tree, the squirrel, the toy. And many many more saw it as an spring offering of some sort. Whatever it was, Airdog comes and goes, in and out, on a regular basis. Thanks for all your thoughts. Sofie definitely keeps me amused.
We were excited to join the new hop by Dogs N Pawz called Tuesday’s Tails. where every Tuesday we are going to focus on animals that need homes. I love it and will try to participate every week. Won’t you hop with us to get homes for all the homeless?
Wordless Wednesday was pretty wordy, but I am glad that you could see the fun that the dogs were having with their best friend Mo. I think friends are important for animals, as well as humans. I grew up with a singular dog (Louise Pierre Andre the 14th of Edgewood Lipton – we all wanted different names I guess). I don’t remember Louie every interacting with any other animals. I am not saying he was unhappy, because he had his humans and he loved us, but, I think that maybe animals should have other friends besides humans, when possible. What do you think?
And finally this week, Louise and I have been working through some fear stuff. Well, I have been working, she has been fearing. Maybe it is because I am not in a great space right now and she is picking up on my energy. I try to always listen to the lessons from my zoo and Thankful Thursday focused on what I have learnt from my little scaredy dog.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

5.9.13 Thankful Thursday: Lessons From Fear
I am thankful for this incredible fur creature that I call Louise. If any one would have told me that I would have fallen for a fearful black hound/ labby abused puppy, I would not have predicted it. I was always a lighter color, longer fur type of dog person. But ever since this little 4 or 5 month old sweetness came into my world 3 years ago, she has taught me so much. Louise has taught me:
- That fear can keep you safe. It can keep you from entering into a dangerous situation. You need to listen to your gut and respect your fear and the fear of those around you.
- That it is best to keep things simple, which keeps them less scary. Like not walking in the middle of too many people all at once, which can be overwhelming.
- That small steps can be very big. For example, when Louise does not bark or cower at every human that we pass, that is a victory.
- That learning what freaks you out, and avoiding it as much as possible, can make a world of difference in the rest of your day.
- Oh yes, and that black dogs are beautiful.
I believe that people and animals and situations all come into my life for the lessons that they teach me (and I them). Thank you Lulu Belle for my lessons in being more aware of the world around me and you, for listening to my instincts more, and for being patient.
