7.20.13 Caturday: Remembering Cuddles
Cuddles
Remembering Cuddles, the bedroom cat. She owned the bedroom and would swat any human that came too close to her post. I think she is gone about 3 years now. (Notice Miss Kitty attacking her tail.)
I can not imagine a life without cats. Happy Caturday.

7.19.13 Follow Up Friday: Home Is Where the Pets Are
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).
We finally arrived home after an 8 1/2 hr drive from the Carolina’s in torrential rain. It wasn’t fun.
We started our blog week back with a picture K8 took of the alligator behind our rental on our last morning in Sunset Beach, North Carolina. He was perfect for Mischief Monday, don’t you think?
By Tuesday we were settling back into the home and blog routine and we featured a lovely senior, named Steven, on Tuesday’s Tail Adoption Blog Hop
Louise was so excited to see me when I returned home (they were on vacation at Sonya’s) that she scratched the heck out of my leg. Ouch! She did not mean it, but those lab talons are wicked sharp.
Before we left I had noticed that Louise was licking herself a lot. Sonya, the most wonderful dog sitter in the world, called me while we were away to let me know that Louise had a cut in a very uncomfortable spot. Well, when I got home, it did not look good, so… off we went to Dr. Kate. Louise was not happy. Now she is on antibotics and is suppose to wear the cone of shame, but, I am keeping her with me and monitoring her licking, so that she does not have to go through the same humiliation that her silly little sister, Sofie, just finished going through last month. Sofie, of course, would not stop licking, Louise, is a good listener.
On Wordless Wednesday, Noel was wondering what special presents I brought from the beach. I did give her a shell, but she just ignored it. At least she did not scratch me. Nine is terrorizing her and even Stella seems to be getting into the act. What I don’t understand is why she doesn’t just sit on both those little cats and crush them, but she doesn’t. Ah, the life of an Alpha.
Finally on Thankful Thursday, I was able to thank Magdalena Vandenberg for giving me the wonderful Very Inspiring Blogger Award. I received it when I was away. What a nice return present.
It has been hotter than an oven since we returned so I am going out today to get the dogs a baby pool. We all need to cool off in the DOG DAZ (days) of summer.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

7.17.13 Wordless Wednesday: What’ya bring me?
Noel decided that she deserved a present for taking care of the cat sitter while we were gone. I was going to bring her an alligator but it did not fit on the roof rack.
When you come home from a trip do your cats have some major fights for the first 24 hours? As soon as we walked in, Nine attacked Noel, as if to say “They’re home now, so you can’t boss us around anymore!”
Happy Wednesday!

7.5.13 Follow Up Friday then ON VACATION!
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).
On Caturday, we were remembering Miss Constance Kitty (RIP), when she was a kitten, and how she would always play with Squash E Bear’s (RIP) tail. It still cracks us up. She thought it was another kitten.
And since we were thinking about tails last weekend, Sunday’s Black & White was a shot of the dogs down by the river at Breezy Point. You might be able to see black Louise in the distance by the trees but Sofie’s tail caught the very bottom of the shot. It reminded me of that game – “I Spy.” Did you find her? Most of you did.
On Mischief Monday we went swimming in our Louise’s best girlfriend, Amy’s, pool. 3 dogs + 1 baby pool = lots of fun. Sofie likes to play alligator, where she gets all the way down in the water with just her eyes and ears out, but the labs don’t seem to find that funny. I do. BOL.
2 Labs and a Sofie tail
For our Tuesday’s Tails Blog Hop, we featured the cutest long haired cat named Rags. We hope she finds her home. We only have short hair cats at the zoo right now and I think they shed way more than the long hairs do. Don’t you? If only people understood that, maybe they would adopt her quick, because she is a beauty.
Wordless Wednesday were some Irish Wolfhounds from my business trip to Dublin, Ireland. I did not take the picture personally, but I really wanted to share these beautiful big dogs.
Wednesday was also my last day at IBM after 18 years. Over the years I got to see a lot of wonderful places and work with a bunch of great people. Everywhere I travel, you know I am attracted to the animals and try to bring some home to the blog. Now onto the rest of my life – more animals to see!
Thursday was American Independence Day (Fourth of July) and we thanked all the humans and animals that keep us safe and free. Thank you for your service!!!! Please think about adopting a retired military dog – what a wonderful, well trained, addition to any family.
We are also happy that Sofie’s toe is on the mend. She finishes the antibiotic today and seems to be leaving it alone, except for an occasional chew.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us.
I am taking my first (much needed) family vacation in years starting tomorrow (isn’t forced retirement wonderful?). The daily zoo pictures will continue every day but not the hops and chats and I may be delayed on comment replies since I will be on the beach.
Warning: To any robbers out there, the house/cat sitter has a gun and knows how to use it, so don’t think that my house will be empty/ Also, we taught Noel to shoot just in case you get passed the door.
May you all have a wonderful week, DogDaz will return in full to cyberspace on Monday, 15 July.
