Sofie Troll monitors all creatures, large and small, who want to pass from the lower realms to the upper. I don’t know how often she changes the password (I know I have to change mine every 90 days), but it does not appear that Nine has the current one. Good thing Mom has the override and can tell the Sofie Troll to move out of the way. Happy Wednesday.

The dogs were out on a play date the other day. Even the new little one who smells like a dog but plays like a cat. So I decided that Mom must be lonely in her office all by herself. At first I sneaked behind the computer and peaked out to see if it was OK to be helping. When I realized it was cool, I got brave and took a nap on Mom’s pile of papers. Mom sure does have paper everywhere when she is working. I even took over her chair when she went to answer the door. Oh Drat! The dogs are back already! There goes my new job.- Mini Cooper, the office helper (aka paper weight)
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

If you choose to sit on the kitchen floor, Peanut, you will not be able to escape the onslaught of kisses. But what else would you want to have on a Sunday morning? Have a great day.

In the winter we bring the large deck plants inside and winter them over in the bathtub. It’s the cat’s personal jungle. They spend a lot of time playing around them, chewing on them, and, of course, hiding in them. I actually miss the plants when spring comes and we take them outside again. I don’t miss the use of the tub because it is too big and takes 2 full tanks of hot water to fill. When Peanut was little (around 6 or 7), I used to use it as a swimming pool for her and her little friends. Now it is the winter atrium and cat velodrome.
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

They are such funny weather predicting creatures, these ground hogs. They have names like woodchuck, land-beaver, and whistle-pig. Our regional prognosticator is name Punxsutawney Phil. He’s known as the “Seer of Seers,” the “Prognosticator of Prognosticators” and the “Most Photographed Pennsylvanian.” People in Pennsylvania dress up in top hats and tails and have this whole big event each year to see if we are going to have an early spring or late winter. Leave it to a rodent to let us know.

Today we are celebrating Imbolc or Imbolg (pronounced i-MOLG), also called (Saint) Brigid’s Day. It is a Gaelic traditional festival marking the beginning of spring. Most commonly it is held on 1 February, or about halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. Here at DogDaz Zoo we take any and every reason to have a party!

Saint Brigid please bring the flowers and the birds soon.

Mommy has been eating vegan marshmallows before bed lately. She said that I am not supposed to tell anyone.

I really like marshmallows. They make me happy. So happy that I smile like I used to when I was young. Mom cannot resist giving me a marshmallow if I smile at her.

Mom and I ate the last marshmallow the other night. 😦 I am sad. Mom is sad. No more marshmallow smiles.
At least until she goes to the store and buys some more. Do you have a late night snack?

Charles, the Mugwump, has decided that he likes it here at the DogDaz Zoo and is going to stay forever.
He doesn’t know we decided that the minute we met him.

Nine has taken a fancy to the dog’s tennis ball.I don’t know if this was an act of defiance (it’s yours so I am taking it), a true act of comfort (cats sleep on the darnest things), or pure silliness (because he loves to make us laugh).
Knowing Nine, it was a combination of all three.
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Charles has now joined the dogs in taking over my bed. At least there are some nice warm spots when I decide to crawl in. I can’t seem to snap a shot when all three are present. And yes, I keep covers over everything during the day, but Louise has figured out how to pull my pillows out and lie on them anyway. Hence 2 covers now. I leave Lulu’s personal throw pillow on top, but alas, that is not enough for her (since it doesn’t smell like Mom, I guess). BOL.
