Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤ 
Mom has been away in North Carolina all week on business, but the blog rolls on. She has been monitoring our activities and left me, Louise, to follow-up (you didn’t think she was going to leave Sofie in charge, did you?).
First I will catch you up on Caturday: people thought that Baby Stella was really cute in her picture. Well, she is kind of pretty… for a cat. She doesn’t really like me and Sofie much though. I am sure that has nothing to do with the fact that Sofie chases her down the hall all the time.
The Black and White Sunday Blog Hop got lots of nice feedback on us playing with a toy on the deck. I try to teach Sofie the proper way to mouth a toy, but she does not listen.
For Monday Mischief, Mom did some weird witchy magic that made us change color and everyone loved it. But don’t worry, it isn’t permanent. We like being just the way they are. Blonds do not have ‘more fun:’ Black dogs RULE!
Tuesday, Mom had virtual coffee with other bloggers and she thought it was a really fun thing to do. Most people fessed up to drinking way more coffee then they should in a day, but the tea drinkers were very present too. Did you make a coffee date with anyone because of the post? I think that some people did actually bring their pets, but all we dogs got was water and a cookie.
By mid-week, Wednesday, we were really tired because we had been in daycare all day (that happens a lot when Mom travels). Sofie is so tired when we get home that she can’t keep her eyes open, even to play ball. I get even wilder than usual for about an hour when I come home from daycare and run around like a banshee until I collapse too. (They say that I snore very loud on those nights.)
By Thursday, we shared a wonderful new award call the REALITY award. We love to be honored with all these blog awards. It makes us feel extra special.
Waiting for Dr. Kate
Did we tell you that Mom made us go see Dr. Kate right before she left. We had to get those horrible booster shots that she makes us get every year. I was very brave and actually ended up smiling (a vet tech gave me some special cookies). It was Sofie that had the most difficult time. She whined and hid and did all those silly baby things she does. She was not happy when Dr Kate told Mommy that she was getting very chubby and needed to loss weight. Mommy said that she should get a little doggie treadmill, since she can’t walk us anymore. I don’t think I would like an inside walk going no where. Dr. Kate thinks that Sofie’s ‘Snow Nose’ comes from an allergy to plastic. Plastic bowls, plastic toys… it could be anything. Sofie is on a new diet: no more food, no more toys, no more walks. More cookies for me!!!! What do you mean you heard that I could lose a few pounds too? No way! Mommy will be home for the weekend and then she is goes again next, this time up north to New York. I don’t understand why I just can’t come to work with her. I could stay in her hotel room and bark at all the strange and unfamiliar noises that I hear in the hall. On second thought, it is more fun to go to daycare and wait patiently for her return. Follow Up Friday is part of the blog hop hosted by Heart Like A Dog. Check out the other blog hoppers:

Mom, can you solve a problem? Lulu says that black dogs are smarter than blond dogs. Is that true?
Sometimes, Mom’s just have to do magic to answer the more difficult questions.
Well, Sofie. What do you think? Are they?
This is a blog hop. I hopped it from Snoopy’s DogBlog. Check them out for more mischief.

Gimme that! It’s mine!
Doesn’t matter what the toy is, if one has it, the other wants it. In the end, Louise usually just gives it to Sofie, since her jaw is so much stronger, she rips it away and then puts it in Sofie’s mouth. Very interesting play my girls do.

Well, it is that time of week to look back so that we can look forward.
Mom! Louise has all the toys and she isn’t sharing.
People were very taken with the wonderful angels, Gertrude and Squash, who were present on the blog last weekend. I appreciate the nice comments, we all have our fur angels and sometimes we need them to visit more than others. I am blessed to have a whole zoo of angels that all come visit from time to time.
The dogs were so bored after their Monday Mischief that I had to break out a new Bo-Bo. All those toys and they can’t find anything to do. Amazingly (and I really should not say anything or I will jinx it), the new Bo-Bo still lives!!! But let us see what destuffing goes on tomorrow.
We really appreciated the response to Meet Mini Beaver. It was great to find out that Sofie is not alone in her attachment to a Lovey. Droppie, of AngelWhisper has a squeaky duck; Misaki has a squirrel; Doggy has his blanket, and; the humans at Animal Couriers make sure that when their dogs have a Lovey they go buy lots of extras. Cupcake on the other hand, like Louise, is fickle and will play with anything (or not).
Knee Update: The bad news is, as expected, I tore the Menisus in the left knee. But the good news is: not planning surgery immediately (I do hope that is good – right?) Since I already have trouble with the knees we are going to take the most conservative approach. The doctor shot the knee with drugs and I am going to go to Physical Therapy to try and get the muscles stronger. He said 50% of people are not bothered by the pain of a tear after about 12 weeks (that seems like a long time). We are hoping that it will stop hurting even though it will never go away. When I asked him if I would every be able to knell again, he was a little hesitant to say anything other than, “you may have limitations.” Wish me luck, folks. All I want to do is get back to my walk every day with the dogs. We are all going crazy! Maybe next month.

Remember Beaver? (Check out: “Good Night, Beaver” for more details) Beaver is Sofie’s lovey. Beaver goes everywhere with Sofie and she can’t sleep if she doesn’t have him. Beaver was a toy that was actually bought for Louise the day I brought Sofie home to live we us. But Sofie decided it was hers, just like she does every toy in the house. Beaver is very important and I now keep him locked up in the kennel during the day because (1) if Louise gets ticked at Sofie, she tries to rip Beaver just to upset her and (2) Sofie tends to get a little protective of Beaver.
I find that some dogs really have an attachment to certain toys (like Sofie does) and others could not care less (like Louise). Because Beaver is now locked up during the day, Sofie has taken to carrying around an ‘airdog’ and whining and carrying on over it instead. At least the ‘airdog’ is a bit more durable, especially out in the yard (where I try to make sure Beaver never goes). One night Beaver did go in the yard and you had to see me walking around with the flashlight to try and find him so that Sofie could go to bed. Oh my, what we do for our furries.
So the other day V came back from the pet store with something really amazing for Nine. A mini Beaver. Now the 2 best friends, Sofie and Nine, have their own matching lovies. Awwwww. Nine’s however, you can fill with catnip. Too cute.

I know that toy is around here somewhere.
Where is that fox?
Mom! I can’t find my fox, do you know where it is?
Mom! Louise has all the toys and she isn’t sharing.
It was a rainy Monday and Mom couldn’t walk so we were stuck inside. Louise wanted to find something special to play with. We removed every toy from the toy box but that wasn’t enough, she was on a mission. I went to mope because Louise was having all the fun. Then… I saw it. – Sofie Bear
Hehehe. Look what I got, Louise. Nana nana na.
