Who could complain about a winter’s day when it is so mild and sunny, surely not us! This time last year we could ice skate on the river, today we are chasing geese in the grass. Notice many of the boats with their winter coats on. They look like giant plastic wrap thingies. We had so much fun running on the dock with no humans around. We like winter for that reason. Mom lets us off leash so we can explore and sniff sniff sniff.
What mischief did you sniff out today?
Have a wonderful Monday!

We were walking in the neighborhood and noticed that some people are really clear about where their property ends and their neighbor’s starts. Mom said that trees don’t care about boundary lines. The leaves fall freely where they may and don’t get all caught up in what side they are on. We like that idea. Animals don’t care about property lines either. That is why humans define our space with fences and such, because we would be like the leaves and go everywhere. If there is a squirrel in your yard, we are going to chase it no matter what! That only seems right.

November 28 marks 4 years of blogging for DogDaz Zoo. I have done a post almost every day during that time and many days I have posted twice. Since November 2011, I have published over 2,633 posts, received more than 23,459 comments, with 94,113 views and 1,831 people followers. Those numbers blow my mind. DogDaz started because of my love for my dogs and cats and my interest in connecting to a global community of animal lovers. It was a way to share my deep enjoyment of animals, my love of technology, and my desire to converse with others of a like mind. The journey has been rewarding and wonderful.

There are so many times I have thought about not blogging anymore. Those of you that post your own stuff know how hard it is to keep a constant schedule – coming up with new material, making sure you meet your deadlines. All that can wear on you after 1,400 or so days. But I love to blog. The once or twice I have taken more than a few days break, I have missed it tremendously. That is why I always find a way, day after day, to share fun photos, stories, and stuff.
Life at the zoo has gotten pretty busy. The daylight is shorter and the workday is longer. There seems to be less and less time to be creative (bummer). I think I am going to alter my publishing schedule a little to give myself a break. Maybe, I will do 4 days out of 7 or something like that? I love the interaction with my readers and don’t want to lose that. Many of you, your animals, your families, feel like old friends. I have watched you grow and you have watched us. We share your high moments, and sadly, sometimes, your low moments. Thank you for 4 great blog years. I look forward to lightening my blogging load to get more time to read your stuff.

We had so much fun on the river on an unseasonably warm November day. Mom says that Amy’s Mom told her that we should not chase the geese or ducks because they will lure us out into the middle of the river and gang up on us and drown us. Is that really true? They look so fun to go after. Oh well, we will just have to chase each other.

10:00 AM Eastern: I am editing my original post for today with a message for all our friends near and far, and especially those in Paris, France. The world continues to loose its mind and we are saddened by the inhumanity of people. We hope that all of you are safe today, wherever you are, and whatever your religious beliefs, political leanings, or social situation. There is no peace on earth when anyone is at war, enslaved, or being terrorized. This is not a perfect Sunday by any means, though it is quiet and calm at our home in Maryland. The smoke from 9/11/2001 at the Pentagon near by (and of course in my home state of New York) followed by a month of 2 Snipers in our area shooting innocents, still stings like it was only yesterday. We mourn the loss of life and the loss of our emotional innocents. Today we are all France. I pray that in my life time we will return to all being citizens of a safer world and can get back to kittens and puppies on the internet. – Lorian and the DogDaz Zoo (if they could speak human)

Everything a black and white Sunday should be.
