Mom took us down to the water, like usual, to ‘go fishing.’

We love to run along the docks and look for strange and smelly things.

Today, we found Lucy (she lives down the block). We think she is strange and smelly (and she sure does run and jump a lot). We think she was hiding on a boat with her Dad because she came out of no where.
Happy Wednesday.

“Please, feed me! Please Please Please Please Please”

“I guess I will just sit here by the food bowls until someone pays attention to me and gives me FOOD!”
“Can’t you see that I am wasting away to nothing!”

Today is Follow Up Friday. I am not sure how that came up so fast. It seems like time is flying and it was just last Friday. I guess I am becoming a little overwhelmed by all the work I have done lately; days turn into nights, and one blog runs into the next. I just launched a business blog, thedigitalattitude.com, which focuses on people’s journey to their social self, basically helping people figure our their personal brand and how to leverage it online. Come visit me, I am a social butterfly. Anyway, I would love your opinion pet-friends, but won’t bore you here with my business stuff so back to DogDaz (already in progress).
Everyone loved the Catlegs on Caturday, and Easy Rider dubbed it a CATINET. Love that, thanks Easy. The cats do like to play with our secret other pet, Dust Bunny, so I guess that is what they were doing.
Are there really any coincidences in life? I did not realize when I posted the Monday Mischief: Play Ball that it was actually the first day of the Major League Baseball season in the United States. My Dad was a big baseball fan and had season tickets to Shea Stadium where the New York Mets play. I grew up with baseball but never was very good at it. Louise on the other hand would be a great base runner, don’t you think? She showed you her moves in the Thankful Thursday: A Moment In Time video, where she was actually running on the baseball field.
Many readers thought it was really neat that Sofie and Nine could be so cuddly. I guess since I have always had cats and dogs, I expect a certain amount of play. They, however, are the cuddliest two I have ever had.

That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us.

Sofie and Nine – head to head.
From this angle, little 10 lb (4.5 kg) Nine looks as big as 50 lb (22.6 kg) Sofie.
Happy Wednesday!

“Mom said to not go through the puddle, so I did.”
“Mom said don’t eat the grass, so I did.”
“Mom said ‘go play ball!””
“So we ran the baseball field.”
Sometimes we listen to mommy, and still have fun (not often, though).

Imagine my surprise this week when Friday and Saturday were the biggest blog days of my blogging career. I didn’t know what was going on. What I figured out is that someone on Pinterest, repinned a blog I did last August on Hornero Nest Building. So for 3 days my blog traffic went through the roof. And I thought maybe I was hitting Rockstar status, but luckily, DogDaz is back to normal. Thank you to my true followers, YOU, for being here with me through the statistical ups and downs.
Overall it was a quiet week at the zoo. People really connected with the shadow dogs on Sunday. I guess shadows are part of how we know we are alive. I think shadows are cool and when you walk alone, or travel to a lot of places by yourself, sometimes they are the only document of the fact that you were really there.
We had our first snow storm on Monday, now that it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere (go figure that out). The cats really enjoyed looking at it. The dogs enjoyed eating it. Sofie did not like the icy slush on her paws, but it was over as fast as it came. By Tuesday all had melted.
As we told you, Sofie was very busy down by the beach and found the remnants of a fire in the horseshoe pit and broken glass. This is a sad state of affairs and many people shared our anger that a few rotten eggs seem to spoil the fun for everyone. I don’t think we are every going to change that anywhere in the world, there will always be spoilers, but at least, we don’t have to be one of them and the dogs and I try to leave places BETTER than we found them.
The girls and I have been walking everyday but it is not always easy and rarely pain free. Thank you all for your care and concern. I do tend to do to much walking, especially when it comes to the dogs. ICE is my friend. Actually, I should go get some right now since we just came in from our afternoon jaunt……
I am back. A nice ice pack on the knee makes a world of difference. Well, that’s it for the week here at the DogDaz Zoo. Thanks for playing along with us.

I thought I would join Jodi at Heart Like a Dog and 2 Brown Dawgs for their This ‘N That Thursday Blog Hop. Usually I do the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, but I wanted to try something new, I do hope you don’t mind.
So first let’s start with a THIS: THIS is almost the end of March in the Northern Hemisphere and THIS week we got our first real snow of the season. Go figure. I think THIS was the first snow that Stella ever saw. She watched it from her bed in the cat room window, while Noel watched from her perch in the living room.



That was this, now for that: It is not often THAT I actually get a chance to read the newspaper. It used to be THAT The Muffin Man would always sit on it any time I opened it up. But now THAT he is gone, I guess THAT Noel, has decided it is her place to take over. So much for reading today.
I am not sure THAT THIS is what they meant by THIS N’ THAT Thursday, but it was fun. Go to Heart Like a Dog if you want to join the hop (I can’t do the hop code on WordPress, sorry).

I was away last weekend. Sofie was not happy about it. Poor Sofie. That is her moping step. She waits there until I return, unless of course someone gives her food, or a toy, or a cat wants to get down the stairs. K8 took the picture. She sent it to me on my phone. BOL. Happy Wednesday.
