Today is Follow-up Friday hosted by Jodi from Heart Like A Dog. This is where we review the week behind so that we can launch into the week ahead (or something like that).
As Indian Winter (see last week’s FUF if you want explanation) continues this summer, here in the Mid-Atlantic, we are having some wonderful fall weather. We have had the windows open almost every day this week (except when it was raining). I even had a sweatshirt on this morning out with the dogs. But, it is August. This is unheard of. I am not complaining, but are we going to have summer in October?
Last Caturday, no one told me I had the wrong date on my post (it said 8.3.13 instead of 8.10.13). You most have all thought I was a week behind. Hahahahha. Nine had his tail in the planter’s hands. It was a purrffect tail aid.
Black and White Sunday was a fuzzy focused walk in the park with the girls, Louise and Sofie. I liked the fuzzy effect (actually I did not even realize I did that), but some people didn’t like it. Oh well. Here is a picture from the same series but in color.

Park Aug 2013
Mischief Monday found us down at the docks checking to see what was in the crab pots. Nothing.
On Tuesday’s Tails, we featured a beautiful green-eyed senior kitty named Betty. Everyone loved her eyes, her sour expression, and wished her a speedy new home.
Louise showed you her new pink flying thingie on Wordless Wednesday. She keeps wanted to play tug with it, instead of toss (tug being her favorite game). Sofie steals it and takes it under a tree, and then you know the rest….
Gimme that! No, you gimme that!
It’s MINE! MMMMMOOOOOMMM!
And, Thankful Thursday, I grabbed a great old shot of Muffin laying on tomatoes from our garden. The first crop is in, and I just love that picture. Really miss that Muffin Man.

That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

Today is Thankful Thursday. V picked the first tomatoes of the season from the garden. I don’t like tomatoes unless I can hide them deep inside something, but I do like tomato sauce, LOL.
I was informed that this year’s crop is extra-ordinary! I am thankful for the fruits of the field, even the one’s I don’t eat.
Muffy the Tomato Head
This was Muffin (RIP), on the first crop a few years back. The current cats (Noel, Nine, & Stella) only like to bat the toms around and use them as toys. The Muffin Man (aka Muffy, Muffin, Mr. Wonderful) was an extraordinary cat, just like this year’s crop.

This was not staged. Really, it just happened that way.
I can not imagine a life without cats. Happy Caturday.

Today is Follow-up Friday hosted by Jodi from Heart Like A Dog. This is where we review the week behind so that we can launch into the week ahead (or something like that).
The weather broke beautiful this week from that terrible heat we have been having. They call the warm weather of late autumn, Indian Summer, so I am going to call this, Indian Winter. (reference: Deedler, William (Fall 1996). “Just What Is Indian Summer And Did Indians Really Have Anything To Do With It?”. National Weather Service Detroit office.)) I am not complaining, it is marvelous. Actually Indian WInter supposedly happens in the spring when you think winter is over but then it snows, but I think all this cool weather in summer deserves a name too.
On Caturday, the 3 cats were on the bed for their late night snack. These 3 only come together for eating. It was easier to take a picture when there were 5 then it is for 3, I guess Noel really wants nothing to do with the young ones. I can understand, because Nine is a bully. Here were the 5 in bed with me before we lost Muffy and Cuddles.
Black & White Sunday was a cool shot of the dogs in the sports field. I think the mowed grass looks like waves in the ocean. What do you think?
Of course the dogs were up to their usual Mischief Monday. We were sitting nicely on the couch watching a TV show when they had to toss and bite for a better position near me. Actually, I should say Sofie did, since she seems to always be the one to start something. BOL.
Sofie: I want to be a cat so I can snack on the bed too!
I showcased 2 new seniors on Tuesday’s Tails. It is so sad when seniors are in the shelter. I do hope it helps them find their final homes. I wish I could create a no-kill safe home for animals 7 and older. Wouldn’t that be great. Shady Acres. They could live out there lives or find final homes. Oh Dog, I don’t want to think about the amount of care that would take – I can dream though, right?
Wordless Wednesday were our constant pool guests – uninvited but always welcome. We have several pair of ducks that return year after year. I do wonder if they are generations of the previous families? How long do ducks live and do they come back to the same nesting spots year after year? We like to name them. Last year I had 7 males that hung together in the bushes all the time. Duck Gangs!
There is so much to be Thankful for and Thankful Thursday focused to the heavens and gave you a beautiful dog cloud. I love cloud formations and pride myself on seeing all kinds of things.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

The only time we can get all 3 cats on the bed is for their evening snack. Yes, skinny Nine gets more than his sisters. You can see Stella checking out his bowl. But she is happy, as long as he doesn’t steal hers. Noel, on the other hand, eats and runs. Being on the bed with the youngsters is way out of her comfort zone.
PS. The cat toys are always in the middle of the bed. Play time seems to be best when relaxing.
I can not imagine a life without cats. Happy Caturday.

Today is Follow-up Friday hosted by Jodi from Heart Like A Dog. This is where we review the week behind so that we can launch into the week ahead (or something like that).
With the heat of the summer, I was not surprised that on Caturday, Noel slept her usual 18+ hours. What a perfect life a house cat has. I wish I could sleep even 6 hours.
Noel sleeping in the window
As the heat continued, Louise plopped herself down on the deck in the shade, and I caught her rolling her eyes on Black and White Sunday. It really isn’t the heat but the humidity that is getting to all of us.
Ok – so maybe it was only 5 or 6 but it felt like this.

So I figured we would go have some fun in the field, but as you saw on Monday Mischief, we kicked up all the bugs and then the swallows decided they wanted us out of there and swooped to kill.
This week was $10 for any cat over 10 lbs at the shelter, but for Tuesday’s Tails we found a black beauty named Viola that we thought would be a great addition to any family.
The heat finally broke and we have had some nice mid-80 degrees days, but I still can’t get the dogs to go in their pool. Wordless Wednesday, featured Louise with her toes in, but Sofie snubbing her nose at the whole thing. I was actually in their pool, but not even that made them want to go. Oh well.
Thankful Thursday featured an incredible rescue of Ozzie the Osprey from a fishing line. If you haven’t seen the Osprey-Cam, you really should go check it out. Life in the nest, in real streaming video.

Still no job yet, but I am redoing my resume (for the 10th time) and trying to focus more on defining the best of my skills. I wish that PetBlogging was a full time gig. That would be a perfect life for me and the zoo.
Peanut leaves tomorrow for 10 months overseas for school. Sofie has already claimed her bed as her domain. It will be interesting to see how well we can all Skype and will the dogs really understand it is her. I know that we want our birds to leave the nest, but sometimes I do wish I could hold on to her just for a moment longer. I guess this weeks lesson for me comes from Tom and Audrey Osprey – tying them to the nest could have deadly consequences. FLY PEANUT FLY! (But do come home next summer to visit.)

Let’s hop to it! Today we are featuring Viola. I sweet 9 year old. Black animals are the last to be adopted for some strange reason. We don’t understand it because Louise is black and she is the best dog in the world. Give Viola a new home to spend her next 10 years. 🙂
