The dogs went to play with Mojo Rising, next door. They love Mojo. He is their bestest friend.
Louise loves Mojo more than any other boy dog in the world. She has played with him since she was a puppy. She smiles for him in a way that you know it is love.
Sofie tries to play Labby style, but she is just a pesky little sister and usually ends up the odd dog out.
All 3 are the best of fiends. I love to watch them play. There is something special about visiting a close friend. There is a familiarity, and easiness, that you don’t get with just anyone. Because Louise does not trust many other dogs, when she does, the playfulness is a joy to watch.
“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. “Pooh?” he whispered.
“Yes, Piglet?”
“Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s hand. “I just wanted to be sure of you.”
― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

The whole purpose is to feature cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, etc. so whenever you link up is up to you! Even pets from PetFinder, are fine. Let’s just get them all homes! Dogs and Pawz said “I also want to encourage all of you to share each other’s Tuesday’s Tails posts on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and whatever other social media channels you use. The more we share the more likely we are to get the word out!”

Sofie brought her favorite Airdog toy out to the tree, to:
(1) entice the squirrels to come down so she can chase them, or
(2) as an offering to the spring goddess, so that maybe she will take away the pollen, or
(3) __________________________________ (you tell us).
I give up trying to figure this dog out. BOL

I had to remove the wonderful Peanut’s cartoon that was posted here about love because it is copyrighted and I mistakenly posted without permission.
Bad, DogDaz! Bad! I am in the dog house. Here is a coupon for you just in case this happens to you.

We are so excited to be co-hosting today’s Follow-up Friday with Jodi from Heart Like A Dog. Thank you. We are honored to be helping co-lead the fun today.
Last Mischief Monday, when Sofie was eating cat toys, we found out that a lot of dogs like cat nip. I was wondering if there is anything similar for dogs, like DOGNIP, or will they eat cat toys anyway just because they belong to the cats? Sofie actually sucks on the cat toys (not chew). Maybe it is catnip tea?
Spring has sprung here in Annapolis, so on Tuesday we showed off the fresh blooms through the reflection of our front door (with animal noses). But Sofie is not enjoying the pollen. Everyone was pretty amazed on Wednesday with the PINK SNOW. It is actually cherry blossoms, which are a big favorite here in the Washington, DC area.

“Each year, the National Cherry Blossom Festival commemorates the 1912 gift of 3,000 cherry trees from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo to the city of Washington, DC. The gift and annual celebration honor the lasting friendship between the United States and Japan and the continued close relationship between the two countries.”
Thursday brought us our weekly thank you, especially for all the wonderful awards we have received. Our blog friends are the best and we love you. Even the cats are kissing dogs these days…
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

And, when we thought that we could not be any luckier, our blogfriend Binki (and Granny), of AngelsWhisper2011 , gave us the ability to chose an award from their overflowing page of wonderful awardness. We chose, the

We are so attached to our blogfriends that we feel their presence everyday through their blogs, comments, and likes, and want them to know that they matter and that they make a difference, everyday, in the pulse of the zoo.
The winner of the BEST MOMENT AWARD from DogDaz is Misty Shores Chesapeakes because they show us some really great moments in dog blogging fun.

It always amazes me how the plants just seem to ‘pop’ all of a sudden. This April, here in the Mid-Atlantic, we had a record snow fall, record cold, and record heat. I am glad to report, though cooler than normal temperatures overall this month, ‘spring has sprung!’ As you can see reflected in my front door.

Poor Sofie Bear has been struggling terribly with seasonal allergies this spring, and I keep her on a daily dose of Benadryl, which seems to be helping. She has this incredible sense of self preservation, on days when the pollen is maximum strength (like last Friday) she refused to go outside (smart girl). As I write this we are thankfully having a light rain, which maybe will bring the pollen count down. Until I moved to the Mid-Atlantic my animals never suffered from seasonal allergies, but it appears that this is a really bad area for both humans and pets.
One thing I know for sure is that this too shall pass, I just hope for Sofie’s sake it is sooner, rather than later.
Today’s lesson from Sofie – When the world outside is unsafe for you – stay in – go back to bed. But do try again tomorrow.
Do your animals get seasonal allergies? What do you do?
