Around the Zoo everyone gets a stocking with treats.
They all seem to think they were good all year, but we know who was naughty and who was nice, don’t we SantaPaws?

Who could complain about a winter’s day when it is so mild and sunny, surely not us! This time last year we could ice skate on the river, today we are chasing geese in the grass. Notice many of the boats with their winter coats on. They look like giant plastic wrap thingies. We had so much fun running on the dock with no humans around. We like winter for that reason. Mom lets us off leash so we can explore and sniff sniff sniff.
What mischief did you sniff out today?
Have a wonderful Monday!

I am so glad that Louise is not alone. I wish more people would understand to keep their distance when we are out in public. That would make our walk so much easier. – Lorian of DogDaz.com
notes from a dog walker
There is epidemic happening across the country and no one is safe. It’s occurring on crowded city sidewalks and spacious country walking trails. It doesn’t discriminate based on race, age, or economic status.
Innocent dogs and their owners are being terrorized, chased down the street, pinned into corners by…other dog owners.
But, you ask, don’t all dogs like to meet, greet, and play with other dogs, even unfamiliar ones? How rude of them not to greet me and my dog! Not so, kind hearted dog lovers, not so at all.
In every city, town, and suburb, loving, law abiding families share their lives with dogs that, for a variety of reasons, cannot or would rather not, socialize with other dogs.
Today I call on all dog lovers to take a stand on behalf of dogs that walk in public while they simultaneously cope with one or more of the following:
contagious diseases
leash reactivity
service or working…

We were walking in the neighborhood and noticed that some people are really clear about where their property ends and their neighbor’s starts. Mom said that trees don’t care about boundary lines. The leaves fall freely where they may and don’t get all caught up in what side they are on. We like that idea. Animals don’t care about property lines either. That is why humans define our space with fences and such, because we would be like the leaves and go everywhere. If there is a squirrel in your yard, we are going to chase it no matter what! That only seems right.


What Mischief did you get into today?

Sofie in Oct 2013.
Interesting how much her feathers have grown & how dark her ear tips have become. Just a few years makes a world of difference in an animal.
Have a wonderful Sunday.

November 28 marks 4 years of blogging for DogDaz Zoo. I have done a post almost every day during that time and many days I have posted twice. Since November 2011, I have published over 2,633 posts, received more than 23,459 comments, with 94,113 views and 1,831 people followers. Those numbers blow my mind. DogDaz started because of my love for my dogs and cats and my interest in connecting to a global community of animal lovers. It was a way to share my deep enjoyment of animals, my love of technology, and my desire to converse with others of a like mind. The journey has been rewarding and wonderful.

Sqaush E Bear, in his last year with us 2010 (by K8).
There are so many times I have thought about not blogging anymore. Those of you that post your own stuff know how hard it is to keep a constant schedule – coming up with new material, making sure you meet your deadlines. All that can wear on you after 1,400 or so days. But I love to blog. The once or twice I have taken more than a few days break, I have missed it tremendously. That is why I always find a way, day after day, to share fun photos, stories, and stuff.
Life at the zoo has gotten pretty busy. The daylight is shorter and the workday is longer. There seems to be less and less time to be creative (bummer). I think I am going to alter my publishing schedule a little to give myself a break. Maybe, I will do 4 days out of 7 or something like that? I love the interaction with my readers and don’t want to lose that. Many of you, your animals, your families, feel like old friends. I have watched you grow and you have watched us. We share your high moments, and sadly, sometimes, your low moments. Thank you for 4 great blog years. I look forward to lightening my blogging load to get more time to read your stuff.

Cleaning up after hurricane Sandy 2012
Happy Blog-iversary from DogDaz Zoo to all of you – Lorian and Louise (aka Lulu Belle), Sofie Bear, Noel (the Christmas Cat), Nine, Stella, and Mini Cooper.
