3.1.12 Tag… you’re it!
Wow – we are playing tag today thanks to Chuck and his wonderful Collies of the Meadow. I have never been tagged before so this will be fun. Thanks Chuck and Collies for including me in the game.
I will let Sofie Bear answer for the zoo on this one:
1.Describe yourselves in 7 words: Mom says that I am stubborn but also loving, silly, active, barky, whiney, and mostly Rolly Polly
2. What Keeps You Up At Night? Knowing that the cats get to roam around the house but Lulu and I have to sleep in our beds with the doors closed all night.
3. Who Would You Like To Be? me and only me (well maybe Bassa the great Caucasian Shepard sometimes)
4. What Are You Wearing Right Now? My name collar with Mom’s cell phone number because she worries that I will dig under the fence and she wants someone to bring me home if I get lost (but they won’t be able to catch me so why wear anything).
5. What Scares You? Plastic bags and mylar balloons, especially when the wind blows them against the fence and I can’t figure out what they are.
6. The Best And Worst Of Blogging: Best Blogging: when Mommy blogs about me and Lulu. Worst Blogging: when she blogs about those darn cats!
7. The Last Website I Visited? Collies of the Meadow to thank them for making us do all this silly tag work (just kidding about the silly part)
8. What Is The One Thing I Would Change About Myself? I want to be a towering giant not this little scrappy dog, so I act like one because Mom says, “Be the change you want.”
9. Slankets? If it is food, I will eat it; if it is something to wear, I will lie on it.
10. Tell Us Something About The Dogs That Tagged You: I have been following Collies of the Meadow for almost the whole 90 days that I have been blogging (is it really only 3 months?). Not only have a learned a tremendous amount about the incredible Collie breed and bloodlines, but I have had a view into the life of their dad, Chuck, and his family of dogs. Trevor, one of the seniors, is ailing and we are all praying that he finds his way with little pain. I really enjoy checking in with them when they post and seeing what is happening in their meadow.

Awesome cat at Nekorobi Cat Cafe in the Ikebukuro area of Tokyo. When he yawns, his ears disappear.
2.22.12 We won an “Awesome Blog Content” Award
The Rules for this award are:
ONE: Share something about you, alphabetically! Just a word or two about you starting with each alphabet letter!
TWO: Nominate worthy bloggers for this award, no limit how many you forward it to.
Here is the A-Z of DogDaz dictated by Louise and Sofie to Mommy:
A : America, that is where we live. We are just a couple of American Mutts. We live in a beautiful part of the country on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland and Mommy says it is a little piece of paradise. We have never been to paradise but we figure she knows what she is talking about.
B : Beaver, Sofie’s lovey. Mommy actually bought it for Louise the day that Sofie came to live with us, but Sofie decided it was going to be hers (which she decides about most things).
C : Cats, we now have 5, which we think is entirely to many. There should be more dogs than cats, but they seem to always get their way around here. But, the blog is called DOGDaz, so I guess we do win sometimes.
D : Ducks, which like to swim in our pool, which we do not appreciate, but it gives us something to bark at. Mommy let’s us actually bark at them but they do not seem to fly away even when we get real close.
E : Earth, we like to dig in it and move it around, a lot. We think that we are excellent gardeners except nothing seems to grow in the spots we dig holes in. We are not sure why.
F : Food, we love to eat especially cat food and anything we are not supposed to eat. The chicken that Mommy makes us for training treats is our favorite.
G : Grass, we like to poop in it and run around on it and Sofie likes to roll and roll and roll in it.
H : Humans, we like our humans very much, especially Mommy and the young one. Louise is afraid of one’s she does not know, but she tries hard to be brave when they invade her space.
I : Ice, we like to chew on cubes of it but we do not like to walk on it outside.
J : Jumping, we are not suppose to but we both like to jump up on things when no one is looking. Sofie likes to jump on certain people and Louise only jumps on Mommy to get her attention when she has dinner and is not putting it down fast enough.
K : Kittens, we have 2 new ones, Stella and Nine, and we really like them a lot. We actually only just met last weekend, because Mommy had the silly door closed for a long time to the room they are in and we could smell them but not play with them. Nine let both of us sniff him today without going cat crazy.
L : Licking, we are not suppose to lick Mommy in the face but sometimes we can’t help ourselves because she tastes so good.
M : Miss Constance Kitty, is wider than she is long, and she loves to watch fish TV. Sofie and her have a special relationship.
N : Noel, is the top cat and she is snow white and very very large (but not fat – we did not say fat – she would kill us – and she really isn’t anyway). Mommy calls her ‘SNoel.’ She is not always very nice to us, but I think if we stopped chasing her under the table or across the living room, she would put her claws back in.
O : Out, we love to go out: whether the yard, a walk, or in the truck for a ride.
P : Plott Hound/Labrador, which are maybe two of the breeds that Louise is a mix of (but who really knows).
Q : Quiet, what it rarely is around here. Sofie likes to whine and bark, a great deal, Louise knows better but forgets her manners sometimes.
R : Relentless, which is what Sofie is when she wants something. Whine, whine, whine, whine, whimper, whimper, whine, whine.
S : Shelty/Corgy, which are probably two of the breeds that Sofie is a mix of (but who really knows).
T : The Muffin Man, our 18 year old king cat, who we like to bother on occasion just because we can. We respect him, but we still like to nose butt him anyway.
U : URL, http://www.dogdaz.com This is our blog and we have so much fun doing it and winning awards too!
V : ‘V,’ that is our other human, who takes very good care of us when Mommy travels (which is to often for our liking) and sneaks us real meat (which Mommy does not eat) and other fun stuff, when Mommy isn’t looking.
W : Walk, Lulu Belle loves her walk and would be sad if she missed it, Sofie Bear just comes along because everyone is going. Usually we walk everyday with Mojo, Louise’s Lab boyfriend from next door. Lulu says she really misses him if they don’t get to have their walk together.
X : Xanthous, similar to the color of an egg yolk, which is what color Sofie is kind of but not really, but we could not come up with an X word.
Y : Yogurt, what Mommy eats everyday and gives us the container to lick. Yummy!
Z : Zoo, what Mommy calls the 7 animals and 5 humans that make up our life.
Here are our nominations – remember we only give to blogs we have not given to before. Today we want to honor two Awesome photographers:
Laurie Bartolo Photography – for truly Awesome photos
Tracie Louise Photography – for more truly Awesome photos (and because her name is Louise too!)
Just a wonderful dogdaz morning dreaming about our acceptance speech ❤
