7.20.13 Caturday: Remembering Cuddles
Cuddles
Remembering Cuddles, the bedroom cat. She owned the bedroom and would swat any human that came too close to her post. I think she is gone about 3 years now. (Notice Miss Kitty attacking her tail.)
I can not imagine a life without cats. Happy Caturday.

7.19.13 Follow Up Friday: Home Is Where the Pets Are
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).
We finally arrived home after an 8 1/2 hr drive from the Carolina’s in torrential rain. It wasn’t fun.
We started our blog week back with a picture K8 took of the alligator behind our rental on our last morning in Sunset Beach, North Carolina. He was perfect for Mischief Monday, don’t you think?
By Tuesday we were settling back into the home and blog routine and we featured a lovely senior, named Steven, on Tuesday’s Tail Adoption Blog Hop
Louise was so excited to see me when I returned home (they were on vacation at Sonya’s) that she scratched the heck out of my leg. Ouch! She did not mean it, but those lab talons are wicked sharp.
Before we left I had noticed that Louise was licking herself a lot. Sonya, the most wonderful dog sitter in the world, called me while we were away to let me know that Louise had a cut in a very uncomfortable spot. Well, when I got home, it did not look good, so… off we went to Dr. Kate. Louise was not happy. Now she is on antibotics and is suppose to wear the cone of shame, but, I am keeping her with me and monitoring her licking, so that she does not have to go through the same humiliation that her silly little sister, Sofie, just finished going through last month. Sofie, of course, would not stop licking, Louise, is a good listener.
On Wordless Wednesday, Noel was wondering what special presents I brought from the beach. I did give her a shell, but she just ignored it. At least she did not scratch me. Nine is terrorizing her and even Stella seems to be getting into the act. What I don’t understand is why she doesn’t just sit on both those little cats and crush them, but she doesn’t. Ah, the life of an Alpha.
Finally on Thankful Thursday, I was able to thank Magdalena Vandenberg for giving me the wonderful Very Inspiring Blogger Award. I received it when I was away. What a nice return present.
It has been hotter than an oven since we returned so I am going out today to get the dogs a baby pool. We all need to cool off in the DOG DAZ (days) of summer.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

7.18.13 Thankful Thursday: Very Inspiring Blogger Award
I am thankful that the DogDaz blog was nominated for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award by a cat lady “in training,” wine drinking runner, who hates brussel sprouts, Magdalena Vandenberg. She is a writer with a wonderful zest for life. Please do go visit her blog and say hi! Thank you very much Magdalena, you brighten our blog with your connection to us.
The Very Inspiring Blogger Award Rules
1. Display the logo on your blog – Done
2. Link back to the person who nominated you – Done
3. State 7 things about yourself
♥ My dogs get away with much more than I should let them. But they know that.
♥ I just got laid off (last Friday) after 18 years with the same company (reduction in workforce). Looking forward to new opportunities (when I get over the shock).
♥ I try to always look at the bright side of things. (see above)

♥ I am at my calmest when I am walking a dog or petting a cat.
♥ I love to blog and I love to read blogs.

7.17.13 Wordless Wednesday: What’ya bring me?
Noel decided that she deserved a present for taking care of the cat sitter while we were gone. I was going to bring her an alligator but it did not fit on the roof rack.
When you come home from a trip do your cats have some major fights for the first 24 hours? As soon as we walked in, Nine attacked Noel, as if to say “They’re home now, so you can’t boss us around anymore!”
Happy Wednesday!
This is a Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop. Thanks to BlogPaws for the hop. Head over there and see what they are blogging about.
