If only I could love my life as much as Sofie loves hers. Those smiles just make my day.

Today is Follow-up Friday hosted by Jodi from Heart Like A Dog. This is where we review the week behind so that we can launch into the week ahead (or something like that).
Louise appears to be doing well on her medicine. I told you about her PeriAnal Fistular Disease on Monday. It was kind of a shock, but she is doing well so far and some of the sores seem to be healing. She likes that I give her a meatball of dog food at meal time (with her smelly pills hidden in them). Even Sofie benefits from the extra yummy. They do love their meatballs. I am also adding canned veggies, like carrots and green beans, to give added roughage to the digestive system. Time will tell.
Thank you all for sending your prayers. I truly believe that your healing energy, even through cyberspace, will give her a better chance of making it through. And several of you mentioned holistic medicine, and I need to study up on what might help with this particular autoimmune disease.
Thank you all so much! Here she is taking a nap on K8’s bed.

My local shelter is starting to do these cool collages of their animals and I posted one of senior cates on Tuesday’s Tails. The shelter is full, so they really need people to be adopting. I wish I had the room and money to take them all home forever.
Louise and I were having fun on the front steps on Wordless Wednesday. She is always in my face, especially when I am sitting on the steps or the ground. Sometimes I think she just wants to crawl inside me. I really like the one picture that pointed up at the house shingles; they make this cool stripe pattern, don’t you think?
Thankful Thursday was all about the people that are fighting for animal rights and animal welfare. I posted a quote that Peanut sent me (my Vegan PETA child). It hit home because I know that I want to shut off the pictures of abused animals that come into my reader because they upset me, but what I have to do is stop the violence, and only then will the pictures finally stop.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

So glad you are joining me today for the Dogs N Pawz Blog Hop called Tuesday’s Tails! New posts go up on Tuesday but you can link up and post when you want all week-long. The whole purpose is to feature cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, etc. so when you link up is up to you! Even pets from PetFinder, are fine. Let’s just get them all homes!
Dogs N Pawz said “I also want to encourage all of you to share each other’s Tuesday’s Tails posts on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and whatever other social media channels you use. The more we share the more likely we are to get the word out!”

Let’s hop to it! Today we are featuring lots of senior cats. The shelter is full to capacity – that is not good for these wonderful seniors with lots of life left.

Tuesday’s Tails pets can all be found at the Anne Arundel County Animal Control. For more information please call (410) 222-8900 (this is Annapolis, Maryland, USA).

Last Christmas, V bought me 3 matching head sculptures (don’t ask). They sit in the middle of the table. I turn their faces away from view because they creep me out (Bwaahahahaha). Nine likes to lie with them. Hence the title of today’s post.

Today is Follow-up Friday hosted by Jodi from Heart Like A Dog. This is where we review the week behind so that we can launch into the week ahead (or something like that).
Another flat-out running to the finish line week. I have started walking the dogs twice a day if I can, so that they and I get some rest (funny to think of walking dogs as restful, but for me it truly is my heaven).

Last Caturday, Noel was being the royal girl that she is. Someone noticed she was giving the ‘down’ signal with her paw. I guess no one got their head cut off so we made it through the royal cat viewing. She really is the boss around here.
Louise, showed her Italian side on Monday Mischief (no offense to that part of the family). No one ended up “sleeping with the fishes,” so again, we survived the test.
I see a pattern here that was never intended. Do you?
We highlighted a wonderful 12-year-old named Kitty on Tuesday’s Tails. It is getting really hard each week to watch all these senior animals be taken into the shelter and struggle to find new homes. Please adopt a senior, if you can.
We were definitely looking for words on Wordless Wednesday to describe poor little Sofie sticking her head over the windowsill trying to see me as I was leaving. Sometimes Louise is there too, but you can’t see her because she is black and the camera just does not pick her up. If only you could hear Sofie, whine whine whine. “Mommy, oh, you are leaving me!” What a drama queen. I guess she an Noel will have to battle for the crown this week. You can just make out her ear, eye, and nose in the air. BOL

We are very Thankful Thursday, for all food, but especially for COOKIES!!! Everyone around the zoo loves their treats. Sofie is a chewer and Louise is a goobler. But, most of the time Louise waits and then cleans up Sofie’s crumbs (of which there are many).

Where did that week go? Hope your’s was royal and good fun.

Sofie can just about see over the kitchen window on her tippy toes, to watch me get in the car. BOL!
Got a good caption anyone?

Let’s hop to it! Today we are featuring Kitty. How any one can give up a 12-year-old is so sad to me, but maybe her owners were old or sick or could not care for her. She has a lot of living left to do. Please consider her.

If Louise was in the Mafia….

“This is my Mommy and I am going to make sure that you understand that.”

You get what I am saying to you?
No one touches my Mama! Except me.

This is a blog hop. I hopped it from Snoopy’s DogBlog. Check them out for more mischief.
