<Turn your sound on> In the morning, I feed the animals and then I go into my office. It never fails that almost every morning Queen Noel, who eats in her cat window in the kitchen, grabs one of her loveys and sings until I come back to the kitchen so she can present it to me. I assume it is her way of saying either, ‘thank you for the meal’ or ‘feed me more, servant!’.
The story behind the pink arm: I was throwing out a whole bunch of old dog toys a few weeks ago after Sofie passed, and there was this pink arm in the bottom of the toy bin. I put the broken and chewed up toys in the trash but the arm must have fallen on the kitchen floor only to be squirreled away by Noel. She appears to have added it to her pile of yellow birds and ‘puppy’ behind the plants in her window. Now it is one of her morning loveys. She is always so proud when she brings me her ‘kill.’
A memory that Peanut found of Nine, Sofie, and Louise. Nine and Sofie were probably about a year old and Lulu a year older than that. I guess it was around 2011 or 2012. Nine and Sofie used to play together a lot back then. Nine loved to play with the dogs. Photographic Memories are a wonderful thing to have. Photographs are a great way to look back and smile.
Helping Mom work is a very important part of our cat job here at the DogDazCats2 Zoo. Somedays, well lately most days, I am helping Mom with her classes. Her students even ask for me by name if I don’t show up in the morning. In years to come people are going to look back at Mom’s teaching videos and wonder why there is always a cat named, Mini Cooper, on the desk. (BTW: Mom teaches adults not kids, so it is interesting to see how the grownups react to me assisting Mom to teach.)
Nine also has been known to show up and disrupt Mom’s day, especially when she is trying to take notes. He, unlike, Mini, is video camera shy and seems to disappear as soon as the little red light comes on.
Do you help your human work?
P.S. On Monday (Valentine’s day), Mini decided to spill a completely full cup of coffee all over my desk, while I was teaching a class. Thanks Mini. Very helpful. I guess you want to be paid more.
Relaxing is getting kind of difficult around the zoo lately with all these ghosts, goblins, and skeletons hanging around. I think the humans have gone a little batty.
