Happy Birthday, Mom.
We know that you are older than dirt today. But we dig dirt. And we love you.

DogDaz Zoo: Comfort Your Fearful Dog
Good article on comforting your fearful dog.
“Fear is an emotion. Emotions are involuntary responses.
Reinforcement refers to an increase in behavior. Behaviors are voluntary responses.
Fear is something you feel. Behavior is something you do.”

Monday Mischief: SunDogs
First is it is 75 degrees then it is snowing. This is the craziest winter ever. Louise and Charles soak up every sun ray they can get. This must be a black dog thing because blond Sofie is hiding in the shade and it isn’t even hot out yet.
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

Caturday: Love Taps
“Hey! Mini Cooper! Want to rumble in the jungle with me?”
“Go bother someone else, Nine. Get lost!”
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Monday Mischief: 100 Year Spring
Mom had her long-Janes (thermal underwear) on because it was 18 degrees F (-8 C) out, but Mother Nature has been fooling us with warm days and nights all winter. February was the warmest month ever in the Mid-Atlantic and the weather people say this is the earliest spring in over 100 years. The cherry blossoms are out, and they are predicting the National cherry blossoms (in Washington DC – 50 miles away) will peak around March 14 (usually they peak in April). That is just crazy!
Mom is trying to teach Charles how to sit with us for her famous Picture Moments. He does not listen to any commands and while we sit so beautifully and wait for her (applause and treats for Louise and me), he goes and goes and goes. Mom just keeps picking him up and putting him in between us until she can get a shot of all 3 of us together. Maybe by next Xmas he will get what he is supposed to do.
Forsythia, azalea, daffodils, crocus, cherry blossom, and hellebore. Even the maples are budding. Oh my! Official spring is still 3 weeks away.

Black and White Sunday: My Velvet
Louise is a velvet dog. No one can refrain from playing with her ears because they are the softest things in the world. When she sleeps she turns into a puppy again. She curls into a little ball and snores like a sailor. Have a wonderful Sunday!

Caturday: 3 Spot
Everyone is trying to catch the sun spot. Sometimes they all want the window at the same time. Gosh those winter windows sure do get dirty. The cats don’t mind. Sun gets through all the same.
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Wordless Wednesday: Waiting 4 Our Friends
When the rain stopped the other day, I finally was able to take the canine trio for a dry walk. I left the front door open in case the cats wanted to catch some of the fleeting sun rays. As we came walking back down the street, I saw Nine and Mini Cooper watching our return. Were they happy to see their dogs returning? Maybe they were happy because they know that in the afternoon after I walk the dogs, everyone eats? But maybe they weren’t happy at all. Maybe they were saying to each other, “Drat! Here come those slobbering idiots again!” Personally, I like to believe the former – they miss their friends when they are gone.
I am glad that my 4 cats are indoors only. I am not sure that I could keep up with 28 wet paws coming in the front door on a rainy day, 12 are quite enough. Happy Wednesday.
