Mini is in the house if you are looking for cat #3. Who knew that the Cat Village would be such a big hit? There are more adventures and head battings then I have seen in years. No one seems to go in the hammock at the bottom yet. Mini makes me a little nervous on those small, no-sided, platforms, as she has taken to chasing her tail and then falling off from one to another. Good things cats have great balance. The thing is 7 feet tall.

I cannot imagine a life without cats!

When you look at a whole year in less than 9 minutes you realize that your life is full of moments that are so valuable. We were so blessed this year with everyone at the DogDaz Zoo staying relatively healthy and happy. We look forward to another year of moments and cuddles and licks and love. The greatest lesson I learn from documenting life with my Zoo is that consistent love and caring make everything flow in just the direction it should. Oh yes, as long as we do it Queen Noel’s way.

How quickly the month flew. Peanut came to visit often because she missed all the furries; I had eye surgery (all good); there was a great deal of cat todo once I built the new Cat Village for holiday, and; we had a rare December 30th Rainbow.
Did you get fun stuff for the holiday?
What kind of mischief did you get into last month?
Come back on Wednesday and we will have the whole DogDaz Year in Review.

A soulful Sofie at the top of the stairs. They love it when I come up the stairs and they can be eye to eye with me. I never realized until now that the pink of her nose makes a perfect heart shape.
Have a wonderful Black and White Sunday.

“This is my village, Mini, and I am Queen!”

“Go away silly Nine, I am Queen Noel!”
I cannot imagine a life without cats!
Our hearts go out to our friends in Australia who have suffered tremendous loss in the recent fires. So much devastation, so much sadness, so much loss of life. We weep for you and with you.

Wow! It is now 2020. My daughter, Peanut, told me the other day (she is 25), that “we will never see the ‘teens’ again in our lifetime” as we move into the twenties. Now, that is a very profound thought. It made me stop and take a pause on all the things that pass me by with little notice. How an instant, or a year or 50, is just a jumble of moments and pictures burned on the memory of my total recall. I think about all the people and the animals that have graced my time. I am so thankful that I have had this platform to document moments and days, and now years, of my Zoo. Maybe, when I no longer have the capability to recall the images in my mind, this blog will be here to remind me of how wonderful those moments were and are. Feel free to visit my Angels page to get a look at the many many many furbabies that have blessed me with their time. I am one lucky ZooKeeper and want to thank you for stopping by,

Everyone at the DogDaz Zoo had a wonderful holiday. There were lots of treats and cuddles and toys and wrapping paper to chew.
Have a wonderful rest of the year

The animal stocking are always hung so that they can’t get to the contents, or so we hope. I think that Mini, Sofie, and Louise have other plans.
Did you get something new for the holiday? The dogs got some cool new chew bones and the cats got these neat catnip mice in weird wire balls.

Mini is really good at giving you that adoring look, like you are the most important human on the planet, and there is none greater than you, so why would you pick her up and make her move off of your chair?
