Happy Halloween!
Our 3 recent DogDaz angels, Louise, Sofie, and Nine, are here to remind you to keep your pets inside tonight. Humans are the most dangerous creatures around so don’t trust your cats and dogs to be safe on a night like this.
Louise would have been 13 years old today. Happy bday in dog heaven, Lulu.
Now go make some mischief and let us know what kind of mischief you got into?
Yes, Louise is in the picture with the skeletons below, but you have to look really hard to see the big black beauty.

Halloween is getting closer and we are getting ready to haunt. We can’t wait! Do you have a costume* picked out yet?

*Apology for misspelling in the original post. Sadly, my eyesight is failing, and spell correction likes to change words on me sometimes and I missed that one.

Henry was walking Skeletor and Catzilla. Then it started to rain. Jolie was barking at them (you can see her in the background).
Henry is wearing a Petco Animal Charities T-shirt. Remember to Adopt don’t Shop!

Queen Noel very rarely suns herself at the front door anymore. Her habits have changed a great deal with her age (now 15 1/2). She mostly stays up in her herb window or on Mom’s recliner in the living room. But today, she was there to meet the Littles as they returned from a crisp fall walk. Charles even brought a whole dead branch as an offering to the Queen.
Oh, BTW, I noticed that the dog art on the front door has now moved down from the Louise and Sofie level in the middle to the lower level with the Littles. Noel doesn’t care -she likes the view no matter what.
Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

The neighborhood is starting to look a bit spooky. This is my first October with the Zoo so I am new to all this and not sure what to expect. Mom is going to get started putting our decorations out now that the ‘Ghost of Ian’ nor’easter has passed and the ground is drying up.
Do your humans decorate for Halloween? It is really fun. Show us in the comments.

When you bring a new dog into the mix, you are never sure if the existing animals are going to accept it. And, we were concerned because Mr. Charles is 14 years old already and he doesn’t always feel the best.
But boy does he love Jolie. He even lets her lean on him! (And he doesn’t like anyone leaning on him.) I love that he gets a little prance in his step when he sees her coming and that he’s been coming for a walk with us in the mornings, which he hardly ever did.
Charles isn’t the only one that has taken to Jojo. Mini Cooper, who was always the other dog in the pack (even though she’s a cat), seems to never be far away. We could not have asked for a better transition for the new member. Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday.
Who’s your BFF?

I know that it has only been since July that Jolie has come to live with us, which in dog time is not long. This has been a very big change for a dog that lived 6-1/2 years in a cage with other dogs and only went out maybe once a day.
Jolie is very protective of her kennel. She especially does not want me to clean the mat or the blankets. Maybe she is afraid of losing them? Maybe there was only a cold floor in her previous one?
I gave her Louise’s sheepskin to keep her warm and she loves it. Lulu came with that sheepskin from her foster when she was a puppy and around here we pass things forward when we can.
Jolie has started to disappear into her kennel whenever she hears loud noises or voices. It is her safe space. But recently she puts herself to bed around 8:30 PM and just stays in there. I am so glad that she has a place she feels safe in, but sorry, baby, Mom’s gonna wash those smelly blankets.

Charles here: This is the last picture that Mom took of us before she put the big green cover on the pool. We like to look at the pool but we don’t want to go in it. We are not really water dogs and even when invited we think it is scary. We do like to run around and chase the ducks and stuff that fly in and we love to dig in the dirt and make a mess in the bushes.
Hard to believe how fast seasons seem to move. When Mom opened the pool the end of May, Louise was still with us (she passed June 17). Now that we are closing the pool, she is gone and Jolie has come to stay. Change is on the wind as the light grows shorter and shorter each day.
Jolie is learning to love lying on the warm deck as much as I do. The Fall afternoon sun is awesome!
Happy AUTUMNAL EQUINOX everyone.

This week, in the Northern Hemisphere, autumn begins for real. It has been feeling like autumn for many days with the cool nights and the leaves falling to the ground. Thursday, September 22 the autumnal equinox* will make it really autumn even though to meteorologists, meteorological fall started on September 1. This is all very confusing but Mom says it is the bestest season of all 4 (Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring) and we are taking full advantage everyday.
*At this point, the Earth’s tilt is moving away from its maximum lean toward the Sun; its rays are aiming directly at the equator.
