I was absolutely amazed when Noel came up on the couch and started to lick Jolie’s ears. And Jolie just let her. I am really thankful for a wonderful zoo of animals. Jolie pretty much is the most chill dog we have ever had. And, Noel is doing great for 16-1/2. She rules the roost, fur sure.

I must say that I have the best fur-nurses that anyone could ask for and a really good human one too. Please take care of your knees because replacing one is not a fun experience. They say that total knee replacement is one of the hardest surgery recoveries and I will agree with that. Mini Cooper and Jolie were very careful when on my lap but they always want to be ‘on’ me (even now while I am typing this from my recliner).
I am by no means done with healing, it takes months to a year, but now that I can walk almost a block with my cane outside, I am hoping this month to get back to a short Jolie walk. Let me get a full block first (and clearance from my Physical Therapist).
I plan to keep my once-a-week-only posts going because I am still very tired, but hope to return to my full-time work next week if all goes well.
Thanks for your good wishes and for staying with us during these DogDaz changes.

Just a normal afternoon of preening and rolling. These two have become best friends and you find them together a great deal of the time. Mini Cooper has always been the other dog anyway. She is the only cat we have ever had that meets everyone at the door and runs with the dogs (instead of running away from them). It is awesome when life at the zoo just happens uneventfully.
Hope your Wednesday is wonderful too. What’s your normal?

Sometimes, napping with friends is just so much more comfortable, don’t you think? Are you are solo napper? Or do you like to cuddle nap with friends?

Queen Noel very rarely suns herself at the front door anymore. Her habits have changed a great deal with her age (now 15 1/2). She mostly stays up in her herb window or on Mom’s recliner in the living room. But today, she was there to meet the Littles as they returned from a crisp fall walk. Charles even brought a whole dead branch as an offering to the Queen.
Oh, BTW, I noticed that the dog art on the front door has now moved down from the Louise and Sofie level in the middle to the lower level with the Littles. Noel doesn’t care -she likes the view no matter what.
Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Mini here: You know that the arm of the couch is mine. And I don’t know why this new smelly little dog thinks she gets to own my spot. No way. I showed her!! I sat on her head until she moved. Enough is enough! Go away, Jolie. Go find your own spot.

Mini does not like that Jolie has taken over her favorite spot on the couch. I physically have to pick Jojo up and move her away or Mini gets all bent out of shape.
So I made a similar pillow mountain on the other side of the couch for Jolie. What does Mini do? Go over to that side and sit right on Jojo.
Watch this spot as this relationship evolves. (It is cracking us up)
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

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.
Have a Wonderful Wednesday!
