4.13.13 Caturday: Catisthenics
OK all you exercise fans, this is the Noel catisthenics class.
Catisthenics are a form of exercise consisting of a variety of simple, often rhythmical, movements, generally without using equipment or apparatus done by a cat. (sorry Wikipedia)
First we S T R E T C H…..
Then we stretch some more….
you get the idea.
Class dismissed!
I can not imagine a life without cats.

4.12.13 Follow Up Friday: Sum.. Sum.. Summer Time
Go Home, Lil’ Baby
Spring/Summer hit the Mid-Atlantic big time this week. So the girls and I were down by the water a lot. The week started out with all this very terrible squirrel activity, and my little murderers monsters sweet doggies were not aware of the havoc they reeked for their tired sensitive animal loving Mom. I find it interesting that we brought squirrel baby #2 to the park to find a safer nest and ever since then Sofie has refused to walk to the park with me. Maybe she does not want to bump into the baby she almost killed. (I am only just now thinking of that).
I haven’t been blogging about Sofie’s difficulties this week, but I have posted them on Facebook. Do you follow DOGDAZCATS2 on Facebook? It is nice to also have that avenue to actually have conversations with other pet lovers outside of just the comments in a daily blog post. Please do come visit our page and LIKE us so that we know who you are and we can LIKE you back. A ‘Like’ in Facebook, is a ‘FOLLOW’ in WordPress.
Sofie has refused to walk down the block to the park. She started this on Monday. She gets half way down the block and sits down (little stubborn Sheltie thing that she is) and wants to go home. It has gotten hotter and hotter each day, but I don’t think that is it because if it was that bad outside, I would not have gone for a walk. We even walked with Mojo (her buddy). But no go!
The interesting thing is she will take the similar distance walk in the other direction, to the river. Go figure? Is it the baby squirrel sending psychic messages to turn back?
I started her on 50 mg of Benadryl (antihistimine) just in case it is allergies (1 mg for every pound of dog the vet says).
Thank you Readers for liking the games we play down by the water, especially when we found Lucy, our neighbor’s Jack Russell Terrier at the dock hiding in a boat.
I am sorry to report that my stupid state of Maryland was not able to agree on the bill that would have saved many Bully Breed and Bully-Mix owners from having to possibly give up their pets because of Breed Discrimination in the state. It was all because of one sentence that the Senate and House differed on. I am just appalled and ashamed at the things that lawmakers sometimes do.

My step-daughter lost her best friend’s 18-year-old brother on Wednesday in a car crash with 3 other boys. The cause – excessive speeding. Please remember that nothing is worth driving that fast for. Speed kills so many people, animals, and ruins lives forever. Talk to your kids, today! And talk to yourself too!
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us.

4.11.13 Thankful Thursday: Directly Into Summer
Thank you ‘Oh Great Powers That Be’ for the flowers. Mom says she would like a few days of spring weather, if you could arrange it, instead of straight into summer temperatures, but we are thankful for what we can get.

4.10.13 Wordless Wednesday: Finding Lucy
Mom took us down to the water, like usual, to ‘go fishing.’
We love to run along the docks and look for strange and smelly things.
Today, we found Lucy (she lives down the block). We think she is strange and smelly (and she sure does run and jump a lot). We think she was hiding on a boat with her Dad because she came out of no where.
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.

MARYLAND: Lawmakers fail to reach compromise on pit bull bill
It is a disgrace that a bunch of law makers can’t agree on simple language to save a whole breed of sweet dogs. End BREED DISCRIMINATION!
Very disappointing news out of Maryland.
Lawmakers failed to reach a compromise on the bill that would overturn the Maryland Court of Appeals’ ruling finding pit bulls inherently dangerous. The General Assembly ended its session Monday night, with the House unable to compromise on who is liable for dog bites.
The move leaves dog owners in the lurch for another year, and the failure of the legislature to act on this issue threatens many families who will now be forced to choose between their homes and their dogs.
Last April, a state court of appeals ruled all pit bulls “inherently dangerous” after the 2007 attack of a Towson boy. The ruling held landlords and dog owners liable if their pit bull bit anyone. Following the ruling, neighbors in the Armistead Gardens community received a letter telling them to get rid of their pit bulls or face eviction. Three dog owners…
