Have a wonderful Sunday!

Has it really been 3 weeks since our last post. It is weird taking off that much time after so many years of blogging everyday. Since then Mom has taught 3 blogging courses at the college, did her day job, moved Peanut into her own apartment at university, and taken us for about a million short walks because it is tooo hottt for long one. We are now into the DOG DAZ of Summer! All we want to do is snooze inside the air conditioned house. Sofie won’t go outside half the time because she does not like to sweat (but she does love to swim). Louise thinks maybe the front door exits to a cooler place than the back, so she is always trying a different exit.

It looks like a normal day outside until Mom opens the door. Then…. blast! Heat comes at us like no tomorrow (what does that mean?). You would think we live in the tropics not the mid-Atlantic. Better to stay inside with the cats.

We missed being on the internet for a few weeks, it was hard. But, we are back. Now to go to all your blogs and catch up on our reading.
What mischief did you get into today?

This is a blog hop. I hopped it from MYBrownNewfies. Check them out for more mischief.

“Summer time, summer time, sum sum summertime.”
Mom loves to blog. Mom loves us. Mom loves to blog about us.
But Mom is tired. So we told her to take a summer break.
DogDaz (Cats2) will return on 3 August 2015.
Just in time for the dog days of summer (are there cat days of winter?)
Maybe by then Mom will have caught up on all the blogs she loves to read.
Please don’t go far, she promises to come back.
We love you blogfriends!!

This is a favorite shot of mine from 2014 showing the totally different personalities of my dogs. Louise is a big Mommy kisser. Sofie, on the other hand, stays close but is not very demonstrative. At least once a day I sit on the ground with the dogs and comb and cuddle and toss. I taught them the word ‘kiss,’ where they lift their muzzles to me and I kiss them on the cheek (as you see Lulu doing here). Nine, the ManCat, also does the kiss with me, but none of the other felines want to do it. Nine thinks he’s a dog so I guess that is why he responds to dog commands.
Do you have a special affection action you do with your furry?
