Everyone was trying to soak up the few minutes of warmth and sun that came our way. It didn’t last long, but it made us all feel like spring possibly might happen sometime in the next few months (LOL).

I don’t know about you, but when the wind chill hit minus 13 fahrenheit, I was just not going for a long walk. But Louise was just not OK with that thought. I got all geared up and walked them around the yard to try to appease her, but she keep asking “when are we going for a walk, Mom?” Sofie however, did not want anything to do with the frigid temperatures outside. Louise most have gone in and out the door 100 times. So much so that the room dropped from it’s usually daily temperature of 62 to 59. (Yes, we keep the house really cold, but heat is expensive and we bundle up.)
I wonder what Nine and Sofie are discussing in the bottom shot? Any caption ideas ? Knowing Nine he is trying to convince Sofie to jam the door so that he can make a run for it outside. Little does he know how good 62 degrees feels.

A High School friend of mine (via Facebook) contacted me yesterday with an interesting question. She has 8 cats (bless her little rescuing heart) and is considering getting a small dog. She has never had a dog and was worried about several things, but especially about the dog eating cat litter. With 9 pans in her house, I could understand the concern. What I learned in answering her question was that kitty litter could actually be toxic to small dogs (I did not know that). Check out this information on eHOW. I always have had a concern about dog’s eating cat poop, but I did not think about them eating the actual litter. It makes sense that clumping litter could really block a small dogs system, and it contains chemicals that could cause all kinds of gastro distress.
In our house, we have 2 uncovered pans in the the laundry room accessible only through a cat door or by a human, and a third side entry pan by my office, which the dogs can not get into. We try for one pan per cat.
Cats and dogs can make the best of house mates. Notice in the photo above, Mr.Nine last night taking over Louise’s bed. You can see 60 pound Lulu in the corner trying to lie on Sofie’s little dog bed because she did not want to tangle with the 10 pound ManCat sleeping in the middle of her’s. Around here cats tend to have the upper paw. BOL BOL (Bark Out Loud)
Post script: My thoughts and prayers are in Boston today. When will senseless killing end.

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.

I know there was a bunch of you that were laughing at the title of today’s post and you understand what I am talking about. K8 bought me a cute sweatshirt with that saying on it and it made me laugh. Here at the zoo we live it every day. I spend hours, days, even months training the dogs. I own them and I feel that their behavior is definitely a reflection of the work I put into helping them understand what is expected of them in the world. I am their ‘boss.’ Kind of like the sports team owner around here.
But the cats, well they definitely think I work for them. “Human,” they say “we demand that you play with us now or we will bite on your phone cord or walk on your keyboard;” “Feed me now or I will throw up a hairball in the middle of the living room (especially since you just cleaned the carpet);” “Clean my litter box now or I will use this corner of your office as my new toilet;” “Feed me or I will go in the kitchen and knock all your favorite things off the counter;” need I say more. The truth is, they are right. I work for them.
“OK, Kitty, I’ll be right there!”
