DogDaz Zoo: Here’s To A Cleaner, More Manageable 2015

31 Dec

It is so hard to clean up after you have a good time.  Whether it is holiday wrapping paper, the dishes, toys, or your blog.  But clean up is what I need to do.  I love my blog and interacting with all you animals and your humans.  But for my sanity, after 2,208 posts and more than 20,600 comments, in 1,815 consecutive days, DogDaz is going to take a break until February 2015.

I am not sure that I can do it (you see I am addicted to blogging and commenting and reading) but I need to clean up and catch up.  31 days without blogging is kind of freaking me out.  But it will be a good test of my will power and my conviction to a more manageable 2015.  

My Reader and Follows have become so large that I have lost the ability to read and comment on all the sites I want to.  And now that I work in another state my work days and commute are crazy long and, as you can guess, my blog time is sorely limited. I must find a more manageable and balanced way to DogDaz.

I believe that a blog is a two-way conversation, and that comments are meaningful; commenting and replying are important to me. I don’t want to unfollow any of my blog friends, but I know that I just can’t give everyone the attention they deserve.  This is a dilemma.

DogDaz will return in February.  Please come back (our greatest fear is losing you).

Happy NEW YEAR to all!

The zoo and I are going to get a fresh start.  Here’s to a cleaner, more manageable 2015!

2.10.12 The Blogger Noel

10 Feb

Noel likes to sleep next to me all day while I work.  She is the office cat.   Recently she decided that the thing that Mommy is always looking at (my screen) seems to have some cool moving things on it.

The other night when I posted the rodeo video of the “Corgi Cowboy,” Noel decided that it was time to take over the blog. She loved the moving stuff on the screen and started pawing at it.  Please excuse me if I misspell or goof up from now on because I have a

cat in front of the screen which means that I am typing blind.  Muffin has helped me on the computer by typing on the keyboard and he actually sent an instant message once that looked like “eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.”  He also knows the exact combination of keys to walk on to make my screen go sideways.  It took me several hours one day to figure out how to undo that.    I guess I will have to get a touch screen so that Noel can start to compose her weekly stories to you directly on the screen.  I never had an animal actually focus in on moving stuff on the screen before. I think it must be like the laser pointer movement that I play with them sometimes.  I shine the laser dot around and they run after it.  I asked Noel what she wanted to blog about, but she really did not have any ideas (deep thought is not her strong suit).  She said anything as long as it has movement.

There is definitely going to be interesting now that Noel has discovered that things move back and forth across the screen.  She is now chasing the pointer.  This is kind of fun but not very productive from a productivity stand point.  Oh well, it is much more fun to play with the cat than get any real work done.  How am I going to explain this to my boss though.  “Sorry boss but my cat decided to block the screen so my reports all look like a monkey did them.”  Well, I have heard that monkeys are very smart and actually that if you give one a typewriter they will actually end up writing a pretty good book, or something like that.  So, when I become unemployed my hope is that Noel will be able to support the family.  (She is giving me the evil eye now and she does not think that is very funny.  “Mom,” she says, “you know that I just want to sleep and look pretty, don’t make me work for my supper.”)  I guess I will have to make her stay in her pretty pink bed next to the warm computer, so that I can keep getting my work done, and she can stay in her diamonds and pearls.  Just another DogCATDaz morning at the zoo! ❤
