Caturday: The Cat Gym

cat gym

The laundry room is definitely the cat gymnasium around here. And when they get thirsty, they stop in the sink and get a little sip from the leaky slop sink faucet. No wonder there is always cat hair on my clean wash.

I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Monday Mischief: Hoover (aka Louise), the Plott Hound

mm-9-26-16

Louise is such a hound dog. I know people think she is a little Labrador, but actually, she is much more hound. I am thinking Plott hound. I actually found pictures of Plott hounds on the internet that look exactly like her.

She hates water for one thing (aren’t labs supposed to love water?). And she doesn’t have webbed feet. Her nose is stuck to the ground always trailing some scent. She can smell a fox a mile away. I think I am going to rename her ‘Hoover,’ after the vacuum cleaner. Lulu, I think I found your family tree. Not that it is really important, but sometimes knowing the linage of your dog can help you with training, medical, and other issues. They say Plott Hounds are loyal and stubborn. That would be my girl!
Happy Louise

What mischief did you get into today?

Caturday: Snooze

Something about a curtain, any curtain, makes a cat want to lay under.

DogDaz Zoo: Fluttering South for the Winter

9-22-16-butterfly-weed more-flutter-9-23-16

It is autumn now so the Monarch butterflies are passing through, maybe they’ll go all the way to Mexico. The Swallowtails will stay right here and another cycle of fluttering will start again in the spring. If you want to know where my eastern butterflies go in the winter -> click here. We love the ‘flutterbys’ and plant so that they will come and stay. The pool is surrounded by butterfly bushes (buddleia) and we have sedum and butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa), a form of milkweed. Monarch caterpillars ONLY eat milkweed. In fact, the monarch butterfly is also known as the “milkweed butterfly.” The milkweed plant provides all the nourishment the monarch needs to transform the Monarch caterpillar into the adult butterfly.

Hello, Autumn. See you next year, Flutterbys!

Wordless Wednesday: Kissing Summer Good Bye

WW 9.21.16 End summer

Tomorrow (September 22) at 10:21 am EDT it will officially be Autumn for us (the Autumnal Equinox). How can that have happened already? Wasn’t it just spring? There is nothing more incredible than the changing of the seasons. Mom loves autumn best of all. She loves the crisper days, and the fall tones of orange, yellow, brown and red. As the plants end their growth cycles and creatures go south or under ground, it makes us aware of the renewal that will come on the other side of winter. Sofie and I are both born in fall. Maybe that is why Mom loves this season so much? I was born on Halloween and Sofie on Thanksgiving (or at least that is what Mom tells us). As we kiss summer good bye, we say thank you to the earth for the wonderful colors, warm waters, butterflies and birds. Bye Bye, Summer. – Love, Louise

Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Noel is the oldest feline at the Zoo (9 1/2). Mini Cooper is the youngest (2).

There does not appear to be any respect for elders in the window today.

(I bet you are singing this song in your head right now, aren’t you?)
