They clipped my claws! I hate having my claws clipped. I am mad! I am going to hide behind the fish tank. They won’t see me. I am never coming out again (or at least until dinner). – Noel, the Christmas Cat
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Our pet whisperer/ animal sitter / groomer and all-time great caretaker, Sonya, gave me a handsome fur cut the other day. It takes a lot to keep me looking gorgeous as I do.

I even posed for Mom when she was taking pictures because I know that I look sooooo good. Aren’t I handsome? – Charles the Mugwump

Every year our Osprey return to mate and have little Osprey.
This is us in 2014 before the bulkhead was turned into a living shoreline, staring at the Osprey platform. Those big birds don’t like us much. This year Mom caught them on video teaching their baby’s to fly. Turn up your volume if you want to hear their little cry drowned out by the 17-year cicada song. The cicadae are very loud but will be gone in a few weeks. But that is for another blog.
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

This really does redefine the words ‘Teacher’s Pet.’ I teach virtually and video record my sessions. I don’t think there is one session in the last 6 months that Miss Mini Cooper has not attended. And now she has Nine getting into the act.

I thought I was buying a big new cube for Louise because her’s is starting to come apart. She loves her feeding cube so much. But, it is hard online for me to size things (I always get it wrong) and I ended up with this small one. Since lil’ Charlie doesn’t play with food toys, I gave it to Sofie, who adores it!
Cubism for all!

Today in the United States we observe Memorial Day honoring our fallen heroes from all our wars. (Even one war is too many, I think.)
I am reposting this story from 2012 on Soldier Dogs. Those wonderful animals who were selected to serve our country along side our soldiers and performed, and still perform, an invaluable service to our nation.
Dogs are not only our best friends, they are an incredible asset to our safety forces. Thank you to all the handlers and animals that keep us safe around the world. – DogDaz
