Thank you so much to our favorite Caucasian Shepard Dog friend, Bassa and her Tall Person from Tbilisi, Georgia. We are honored to receive the “You Make Me Shine” award from Bassa’s Blog.
Mommy is still away in Turkey, but she told us that we should thank Bassa and make sure she knows we are very impressed that she has made it to 52 days of blogging. Happy Blog-iversay or Blogday (not sure what to call it). We really enjoy the antics of Bassa and her Tall Person as they show us around their neighborhood. They have a very unique perspective on everyday things like trees (with turtles hidden in the bark) to telephone poles (that look like elephant trunks). Tbilisi sure seems so much more interesting then where we live. Maybe when Mommy comes home she can take us to visit you.

Mommy is on her way to Istanbul, Turkey today for work and won’t be back for a whole week. She is not taking us and we are very sad that she will be gone but she said 13 hours on an airplane is no place for dogs. (What’s an airplane?) She told us to behavior ourselves and look after the humans, the cats, the blog, and each other. We are not happy about having all this work to do while she is gone and have decided that we will post some of her more interesting blogs instead of trying to paw new ones. We think Mommy travels to much and should just stay home with us. We miss her already. Maybe she will bring us some exotic bones from wherever she is. I wonder if they have dogs in Turkey and what they look like.
“Take pictures Mommy so we can see Turkish pets. We are going to sleep in your office and not move until you return.” Love, your adorable sweet doggies – Lulu Belle and Sofie Bear

Miss Constance Kitty has lost her mind. It is very hard to deal with when one member of the zoo starts to act out in such a way that it effects all of us. Kitty has always been a little ‘off.’ She was a kitten when we rescued her, with a condition called ‘scoliosis,’ (a curve in her spine which runs all the way from head to the tip of her tail). We had concerns that as she aged there may be problems physically but I am not sure her current problem is related, as I think it is emotional. Over the last year she has gotten increasingly mean and now is peeing on everything, everywhere and scratching us. She does not appear to be in physical pain, can jump and run fine, but is really bothered by the kittens and jumps at almost everyone and everything now. I was making animal breakfast this morning (kittens in their room locked away, dogs on the floor, and 3 older cats up on the counter), and she just decided to attack my hand when placing her bowl down. It does not help that she is being menanced by the kittens, but this totally psycho behavior is new. We love Kitty and are very saddened by what is going on with her. We will try antibiotics, then anxiety medicine, but in the end, I just think she is one unhappy kitty and there is no medicine that is going to fix that. 😦 Off to the see Dr. Kate. We are hoping she will know what to do.

It has been really hot these days. Mommy says that the spring was the hottest on record. I am not sure what that totally means but I know that we are walking earlier and earlier in the morning because it is cooler. I like to sit in the sun. Hotter the better for me, for a little while, because Mommy makes me come in. She worries that I will overheat. I drink a lot of water I think, so I am not sure why she worries. But Mom’s do, I guess. Sofie likes to lie in the shade. She pants a lot and prefers to go inside the house in the air conditioning. She is a wimp. Heat me up sunshine!

Sofie and Nine are so cute together. Sofie preens him like he is her little baby and she is keeping him clean. I have always had cats and dogs that had special bonds. Nikki dog loved Alice cat. Alice used to do this little dance in front of Nikki and nudge her on the nose. Miss Constance Kitty really loved Squash E Bear. She would hang on his tail like it was another kitten and he would wag and wag to make her move up and down playfully. But this relationship between Sofie and Nine is interesting to me. I have never seen a dog nibble on the cat before, and I have never seen them snuggle for long periods of time like these 2 do. Now, don’t be mistaken here, Sofie still chases Nine down the hall when she feels like it and say ‘I’m the dog so you better run!,” but I think their relationship is special. Does your dog and cat snuggle? Louise will tolerate the cats but she doesn’t want them to near for to long, which to me seems the more ‘normal’ cat/dog relationship. I just love what Sofie and Nine have.
