Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤
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).
Angel 9
The snoozing Nine got a lot of attention on Caturday. Yes, even little devil angel cats need their beauty rest.
People saw the Yin-Yang of Louise and Sofie, in their Sunday Black & White photo. Yin and Yang symbolizes dualism, the state of life: balance. My dogs are opposites in more than their colors; Louise is shy, Sofie is outgoing; Lulu is quiet, Sofie is loud; you get the idea. I could not have 2 totally different personalities in dogs. For me they are a perfect balance.
This is like what Lao Tzu says of Yin and Yang in Tao Te King:
“Tao engenders One;
One engenders Two;
Two engenders Three;
Three engenders all things.
All things carry the yin (femininity)
while embrace the yang (masculinity).
Neutralising energy brings them into harmony.”
On Wednesday I found out that I had to take down the Sunday Cartoon from last week because Peanut’s cartoons are copyrighted and you can not reproduce them on the internet. So, I replaced Snoopy and Charlie Brown with a dog house, because DogDaz is in the dog house for being a bad blogger.
I absolutely loved the ideas you all came up with about why Sofie took her Airdog toy down to the old Cherry tree on Monday Mischief. Nellie thought she just forgot to take it out of her mouth. Binky and Jodi felt she took it so that no one else would play with her toy. Cupcake was projecting that it was for security reasons. Easy thought that Sofie would play fetch with the tree (that was pretty out there, Easy). Roxy felt it had something to do with a squirrel, and Doggie was sure she was protecting everything, the tree, the squirrel, the toy. And many many more saw it as an spring offering of some sort. Whatever it was, Airdog comes and goes, in and out, on a regular basis. Thanks for all your thoughts. Sofie definitely keeps me amused.
We were excited to join the new hop by Dogs N Pawz called Tuesday’s Tails. where every Tuesday we are going to focus on animals that need homes. I love it and will try to participate every week. Won’t you hop with us to get homes for all the homeless?
Wordless Wednesday was pretty wordy, but I am glad that you could see the fun that the dogs were having with their best friend Mo. I think friends are important for animals, as well as humans. I grew up with a singular dog (Louise Pierre Andre the 14th of Edgewood Lipton – we all wanted different names I guess). I don’t remember Louie every interacting with any other animals. I am not saying he was unhappy, because he had his humans and he loved us, but, I think that maybe animals should have other friends besides humans, when possible. What do you think?
And finally this week, Louise and I have been working through some fear stuff. Well, I have been working, she has been fearing. Maybe it is because I am not in a great space right now and she is picking up on my energy. I try to always listen to the lessons from my zoo and Thankful Thursday focused on what I have learnt from my little scaredy dog.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

The dogs went to play with Mojo Rising, next door. They love Mojo. He is their bestest friend.
Louise loves Mojo more than any other boy dog in the world. She has played with him since she was a puppy. She smiles for him in a way that you know it is love.
Sofie tries to play Labby style, but she is just a pesky little sister and usually ends up the odd dog out.
All 3 are the best of fiends. I love to watch them play. There is something special about visiting a close friend. There is a familiarity, and easiness, that you don’t get with just anyone. Because Louise does not trust many other dogs, when she does, the playfulness is a joy to watch.
“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. “Pooh?” he whispered.
“Yes, Piglet?”
“Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s hand. “I just wanted to be sure of you.”

Sofie brought her favorite Airdog toy out to the tree, to:
(1) entice the squirrels to come down so she can chase them, or
(2) as an offering to the spring goddess, so that maybe she will take away the pollen, or
(3) __________________________________ (you tell us).
I give up trying to figure this dog out. BOL

We are so excited to be co-hosting today’s Follow-up Friday with Jodi from Heart Like A Dog. Thank you. We are honored to be helping co-lead the fun today.
Last Mischief Monday, when Sofie was eating cat toys, we found out that a lot of dogs like cat nip. I was wondering if there is anything similar for dogs, like DOGNIP, or will they eat cat toys anyway just because they belong to the cats? Sofie actually sucks on the cat toys (not chew). Maybe it is catnip tea?
Spring has sprung here in Annapolis, so on Tuesday we showed off the fresh blooms through the reflection of our front door (with animal noses). But Sofie is not enjoying the pollen. Everyone was pretty amazed on Wednesday with the PINK SNOW. It is actually cherry blossoms, which are a big favorite here in the Washington, DC area.

“Each year, the National Cherry Blossom Festival commemorates the 1912 gift of 3,000 cherry trees from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo to the city of Washington, DC. The gift and annual celebration honor the lasting friendship between the United States and Japan and the continued close relationship between the two countries.”
Thursday brought us our weekly thank you, especially for all the wonderful awards we have received. Our blog friends are the best and we love you. Even the cats are kissing dogs these days…
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

This is the scene first thing in the morning between my bathroom door and my bed room: Louise’s marrow bone, Sofie’s airdog, and Nine’s cat toy
This is the scene after my shower: Nine and Sofie, outside the bathroom door with a new configuration of the toys.
Can you guess which toy Sofie chooses most of the time to suck on ?
Don’t try to to figure this dog out? She prefers her toys with that catnip taste.
