Noel decided that she deserved a present for taking care of the cat sitter while we were gone. I was going to bring her an alligator but it did not fit on the roof rack.
When you come home from a trip do your cats have some major fights for the first 24 hours? As soon as we walked in, Nine attacked Noel, as if to say “They’re home now, so you can’t boss us around anymore!”
Happy Wednesday!
This is a Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop. Thanks to BlogPaws for the hop. Head over there and see what they are blogging about.

For the whole week in North Carolina, K8 was watching the stream behind our rented condo (on a very nice golf course) for any signs of the alligators. There were signs everywhere that said “Please don’t feed the alligators, they get aggressive,” so we figured they were there somewhere. The last morning, as we were packing up in the pouring rain, he (or she) finally popped his head up to say goodbye. K8 ran around to the back to snap this shot on her iphone.
Good bye, Alligator. Thanks for coming to see us off.

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).
On
Caturday, we were remembering Miss Constance Kitty (RIP), when she was a kitten, and how she would always play with Squash E Bear’s (RIP) tail. It still cracks us up. She thought it was another kitten.
And since we were thinking about tails last weekend,
Sunday’s Black & White was a shot of the dogs down by the river at Breezy Point. You might be able to see black Louise in the distance by the trees but Sofie’s tail caught the very bottom of the shot. It reminded me of that game – “I Spy.” Did you find her? Most of you did.
On
Mischief Monday we went swimming in our Louise’s best girlfriend, Amy’s, pool. 3 dogs + 1 baby pool = lots of fun. Sofie likes to play alligator, where she gets all the way down in the water with just her eyes and ears out, but the labs don’t seem to find that funny. I do. BOL.
2 Labs and a Sofie tail
For our
Tuesday’s Tails Blog Hop, we featured the cutest long haired cat named Rags. We hope she finds her home. We only have short hair cats at the zoo right now and I think they shed way more than the long hairs do. Don’t you? If only people understood that, maybe they would adopt her quick, because she is a beauty.
Wordless Wednesday were some
Irish Wolfhounds from my business trip to Dublin, Ireland. I did not take the picture personally, but I really wanted to share these beautiful big dogs.
Wednesday was also my last day at IBM after 18 years. Over the years I got to see a lot of wonderful places and work with a bunch of great people. Everywhere I travel, you know I am attracted to the animals and try to bring some home to the blog. Now onto the rest of my life – more animals to see!
Thursday was
American Independence Day (Fourth of July) and we thanked all the humans and animals that keep us safe and free. Thank you for your service!!!! Please think about adopting a retired
military dog – what a wonderful, well trained, addition to any family.
We are also happy that Sofie’s toe is on the mend. She finishes the antibiotic today and seems to be leaving it alone, except for an occasional chew.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us.
I am taking my first (much needed) family vacation in years starting tomorrow (isn’t forced retirement wonderful?). The daily zoo pictures will continue every day but not the hops and chats and I may be delayed on comment replies since I will be on the beach.
Warning: To any robbers out there, the house/cat sitter has a gun and knows how to use it, so don’t think that my house will be empty/ Also, we taught Noel to shoot just in case you get passed the door.
May you all have a wonderful week, DogDaz will return in full to cyberspace on Monday, 15 July.

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).
How did the end of June happen? Is this Follow-up or Fall-behind Friday – I am not sure anymore. Sorry if I haven’t commented on your stuff in awhile, just trying to keep my head above water – but you are all still making me smile so hang in there with me.
Last Caturday I was looking at pictures of Nine when he first came to us. They said he was a year old, but we just don’t think so. At 2 1/2, he is still such a little man. Cat age only matters to humans though, the cats don’t really care. Here’s another one from his first days at the zoo.
Nine
Black & White Sunday was the girls after a romp in the water. I added a little grain otherwise you could not see Louise in all her darkness. The balance between the two different coats pushes my minimal photo skills. Wet dogs really teach me about coats: Louise dries before she even gets out of the water, but Sofie…. she is wet for days. Kind of like my curly hair. BOL
By Monday Mischief we were in major chew on each other face mode. Louise just gets so jealous when Sofie wants to lie anywhere near me on the coach. “Mommy is MINE!” They are so funny. In the end, I leave and they wonder what happened. When I return we all chill better. You may remember this picture of them protecting my knees, nicely, from both sides. That is the way I like it.
Tuesday’s Tail focused on some senior puppies that need new homes. Many of you were so upset that people would give up their older sweethearts. It is heartbreaking. But I think about a few things. In these economic times, maybe they want to ensure their elder pets get fed and medical care which they no longer can afford to give them (OK, it’s a stretch.). Or, which really upsets me, the owners are placed in a nursing facility that does not allow animals. I really wish that nursing homes did allow people to take their senior pets with them, I would die quick without mine. Hopefully, I will never have to find out. ADOPT A SENIOR!!
I am happy to say that Sofie is doing somewhat better today. You read her story on Wordless Wednesday. Since it has been 4 days since the vet visit, I took the cone off and am letting her work off the bandage. The vet said try to keep it on 3 to 5 days, so I figure it is safe to start giving her, her head back. The cone really depressed her big time.
You have all been so thoughtful, especially about the conehead toe incident and also my job situation. On Thankful Thursday, as always, I say my blessings. And now, it is Friday.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

Remember last week I had the dogs nails clipped at PetSmart and they cut the quick on Louise’s back black nail and it bleed. What I did not know is they did something wrong to Sofie too and her nail became loose. It became infected and $$$ vet later, she is now in the ‘cone of shame,’ with daily antibiotics.
All because I did not want to cut them myself because I was afraid of hurting them.
Mommy is sorry, Babies!!! I thought they knew what they were doing!
