We went to Amy’s house and her pool was still open.  Her Mom has these really cool giant elephant plants that we like to stand under to get out of the sun.  We can’t believe that it is still so hot and yet the leaves are falling from the trees.  Sofie got hurt playing in the rose bushes and Mom freaked out because she had little holes in the top of her head, her neck, and ripped a piece of her ear.  With all the Sofie hair it is really hard to find the prickers in her skin and the blood just wicked up through the deep fur.  She is fine though, but Mom said we had to get out of the pool because the water was not clean and Sofie could get it in her cuts.

Oh, Mom!!!! It’s 90 degrees out – let us swim!!!!

Follow Up Friday: Manly Cats, Puppy Mischief, and a Note

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).

Weeks fly by like hummingbirds.  I know they have been here, but they are so fast that all I see these days is a blur.

woohoo_2_5B1_5D2152252244487

Caturday started the week with the joker of the house, Nine, in one of his manly poses.  He is always being silly and cracking us up.  I really appreciate that since Noel is very serious most of the time, and Stella, she just is so quiet, you have to really go look for her to get much interaction.

Black and White Sunday, was finally a decent fall shot of Sofie Bear.  I love fall pictures of the animals.  The earth is colorful and they just always look like they are happy.  Well, they are actually, because the air is crisp, not cold, and there are lots of things to chase and pounce on.

Fall 07 089

We carved a cat pumpkin.

I have been telling, and showing you the new puppy next door, Zelda.  On Monday Mischief,  I was able to catch some shots of her playing with Louise’s tail.  Lulu is tolerating her very well.  Sofie stays about 40 yards away.  Puppies are just happiness exemplified.

There was a beautiful cat named Toby at the shelter this week.  He is a senior with a wonderful disposition and needs to find a wonderful family to match.  Thank you to so many people for reblogging/sharing on Facebook and Twitter.  I know in my heart that helps. Thank you.

And to continue the Thanks on Thankful Thursday, I gave you an update on Louise’s condition.  I am so thankful for medicine, especially when it is working.  My beautiful baby is feeling much better, and I am thankful every day.

Mom, can you get me a new office chair?

Mom, can you get me a new office chair?

And now it is Friday,  How did that happen.

Fan Note: I am getting ready to go to China for a month to work.  As a newly self-employed person, I take work where I can get it and this job is in Shenzhen, China (which is near Hong Kong).  I am very excited because I have not been to either city before, but a month away is a really long time (I have never been gone for that long).  I do not know if I will be able to do the regular daily blog hops, but I am setting the DogDaz Zoo daily posts up so that they will continue until I return. 

I still do not have my brand new computer fixed yet (this has been a nightmare).  Now, at day 17 of not having it work and 3 repair attempts, they are finally sending me a new one (but it is a different/lesser model – but I said yes anyway, because I just want a working computer at this point).  Let’s hope it gets here before I go. 

The dogs are going to Sonja the Petsitter for the month and the cats will be home with V.  With all the medicine for Louise and the need for daily attention (they are used to me being home all the time), I thought it best they be around a pack of dogs (she has 4 Dalmations, a Cocker, and the Mix) and people who can interact more during the day.  I am sure they will have some interesting TAILs when I return.

Squash & Me 2007

Squash & Me 2007

I will keep blogging at least until next Friday when I hope to leave.  Sorry to miss the fall color, but hopefully, I will see it on your blogs.

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

Thankful Thursday: Getting Better

Louise at vet

Louise, with her head on my knee for protection at our vet visit this week.  Good news is she is responding well to the Cyclosporin, even though it is not doing great things to her tummy.  The vet says she needs to stay on it for another couple of months.  I found the medicine at about half the cost on 1-800-Ped-Meds (not a recommendation just a fact – but I was happy with their service and they even sent a big bone for the dogs).  Never used them before because I felt like the vet needed the income from the drug sales (I am so loyal it is probably stupid of me), but when medicine is over $400 for a 15 day supply, you have to get what you can, where you can, for as little cost as possible (especially when unemployed).

THANKFUL that it is working.  Hopeful that when we take her off it, the Peri-anal Fistula disease is in remission.

The dogs like the hypoallergenic treats that Dr. Cate always has in her treat jar on the counter in the examination room.  If you have to go to the doctor, at least you need to get a treat, or two, or three, or in Louise’s case, four.  (She has lost weight with the meds, so treats keep flowing when she wants them.)

Thank you Dr. Gately-Dean, and the wonderful people at Greater South River Animal Hospital, for taking care of the DogDaz Zoo.
