It seems like THUNDER SEASON rolled in early this year. It was 4 o’clock in the morning and Sofie and Louise were beside themselves. Nothing ever helps calm them when the clouds are crashing and flashing, but when it is the middle of the night, it seems worse. It used to be that just Sofie would freak but, my luck, about a year ago, Louise caught the shakes and now she too gets scared. Thunder vests, calming treats, CBD cookies, and even Xanax do nothing for Sofie. And, when a storm comes on quick, all that is worthless anyway. (I love how the vet says to give them stuff 30 minutes before the storm starts. Yea, right. I can do that.) I’ve pretty much tried everything I could find. Best I can do is love them through it. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem to bother the little guy or the cats. It is going to be a looooonnnnnggggg loud summer, I fear.

I don’t know what they are called, but I call the little tiny flowers that look like daffodils, ‘dinkidils.’
Whatever they are, they are everywhere and they make us very happy on our walks. Happy spring, finally.
Have a sunny Black and White Sunday.

This is Louise in April 2013. She looks exactly the same today sacked out in my bed (her favorite place). What’s your favorite place?

Squash E Bear was that one special dog that you just miss forever.
I have a little tuft of his fur stuck into a big picture of him next to my bed.

His energy and sweetness and hugginess are always with me.

As he aged, diabetes took his sight but not his incredible personality.
8 years goes very slowly when you miss someone.

I love my pictures and my memories. I have been so blessed by my Zoo.
Have a wonderful Black and White Sunday.

Spring 2008
Noel, the Christmas Cat, about a year old in this photo, and baby Constance Kitty, maybe 6 months, amazed by a bird or a bug out the window. Connie passed over the bridge at about 5 years old. Noel, as you know, is still staring out that window 11 years later.

Happy Easter
and
Passover
and
April Fool’s Day
all rolled into one Sunday Black and White photo
of Noel, the Christmas cat
Want to know a secret – We’re having our usual family Easter egg hunt this year, but since it is April Fools Day, we are not going to really hide any and just let them look. Do you think the kids are going to kill us? APRIL FOOLS!

I know that 99% of you can relate to the fact that as soon as you try to close the door to any room, but especially the bathroom, everyone needs to see what is going on. It used to be my 2 legged children would come find me but now it is 4 legged furballs that seem to think that as soon as I want a moment of privacy, that is a signal for them to need something. I know it is my fault because I always go the bathroom before I take the dogs for a walk and now they think ANYTIME I go in the bathroom must mean I am getting ready to walk them. Because, as we know, humans have no other life but that which is connected to walking, feeding, brushing, playing, or otherwise interacting with furballs and WHY would a human EVER want to be by themselves doing anything.
Have a wonderful black and white Sunday.
(I hope this picture does not offend anyone.)

Laying down on a Sunday afternoon.
I am never alone.
Not that I would ever want to be.
Well… maybe…. sometimes.
If you are in the US, remember to set your clocks ahead 1 hour as of 2 AM March 11.
And while you are at it, change your smoke detector batteries.
