Louise: “Sofie do you see her? Peanut said that Mommy should be home tonight.”
Sofie: “Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!… No I don’t see her yet.” (whine whine whine)
Louise: “It seems like it has been many feedings since we have seen her (whimper whimper). I am going to tell her that it is just not the same when she is gone.”
Sofie: “Now who is whining, Lulu?”
Louise: “Oh, but a sock in it, Sofie!”

I do not know who created this poster but I love it!! I am not sure how we get the message out that animals are so influenced by how they are raised. It is the same with children, you live what you learn. When a dog is loved and cared for he/she grows into an animal that understands kindness. When a animal is tied to a post all day, beaten, used as bait, starved, experimented on, or just plain neglected, the animal will not understand how to be in the world. I know that I am “preaching to the choir,” because if you are reading this, you already love animals or you wouldn’t be following my blog. Let us teach kindness everyday, and maybe someday, we will have all good dogs. (I can dream, right?)
(Getting on a plane now for the 22 hour trip back home. Can’t wait to see my zoo, human and furry.)

Since Mom is away, Louise and I have tried to take some pictures so that we can blog about our time without her. I tried to take them with my cell phone and then Louise took one too. We hope you like our dog attempts at photography. We know we are not as good as Laurie Bartolo, expert dog photographer extraordinaire, but maybe she will consider us for her next amateur photographer show. I am not sure we dogs really get the concept of pictures (or blogs for that matter) but I know that Mommy likes to snap a lot of them of us. I am sure that when Mom returns she will choose me as the new DogDaz photographer for all events, don’t you think? Louise can carry the equipment bag (woof woof woof woof – this is dog for “Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Tail Off”). – Sofie Bear

My name is Nine and I am a big boy now (Mommy thinks I am about 17 months). I am a really silly boy. I like to make everyone laugh with my kitten antics. Lately I have been endearing myself to everyone with my “look at me I am really cute” poses. When I am not jumping on one of the older cats or beating up my little sister, Stella, I am try to hang with my best friend, Sofie Bear the dog, or swim in one of the fish tanks. Lately, the big tank in the living room has become my daily playground, chasing big fish around the glass and running from across the room and crashing into the glass to try and catch them. I also like to take things that people leave anywhere, like keys or wallets; they are so fun to play with, especially if they are shiny. At night Stella and I still have to stay in our special room because we seem to bother the humans. I am not sure why the humans sleep at night when we are awake and then are awake during the day while we sleep, but they don’t seem to like the way I play around their heads all night long. Oh well, I am so cute, they just need to get over it!

This is Noel and Mom left me in charge of the zoo while she is gone. I know that everyone, especially the stupid dogs, have been asking why she would leave me, the beautiful quiet alpha cat, in charge, but I say ‘Boo’ to my doubters. Obviously, Mom recognizes my great capacity for leadership. I do not interact a lot with the other animals but if I have to tell Miss Kitty, or one of the pesky kittens to stay in line, I have no trouble doing that. As Muffy, poor old cat, got older and started to really slow down, I have stepped up and taken over the pride. I am really a one person cat and only like Mommy petting me or picking me up. I was so seriously ill when I was a young cat and Mommy rescued me and nursed me back to health everyday for months, so she and I are really close and she is the only human that I like to cuddle with – actually the only being at all that I get physically close to. I live in her office except when everyone is in the living room watching TV (which is when I sit on her chair or out of arms reach on the couch), or when it is food time. When Mom is not home I sometimes hang out in the big sunny window in the kitchen, because I really like to feel the sun on my fur. Somedays I blog for her, but I really don’t have a lot to say and other animals and humans don’t interest me very much. So don’t cross me or I will have to make sure you understand my leadership position in the zoo. I am boss, but when Moms home I let her think she is.

It will surely never die
