Wonderful Wednesday: Leash Knots

Many people have asked me why I put knots in my dog leads.

I always do this to any new leash.

Specifically, it is so that I can step quickly on the leash if I drop it and it won’t travel under my foot. Thereby, stopping a runaway dog.

If spaced properly, it is also a quick way to jump to a shorter place on the leash to manage the dog better.

Some knots do happen by themselves when you have multiple leashes.

Then there is the 3 dog leash tangle; knots don’t help with that though.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday.

DogDaz Zoo: 2Yrs Gotcha, Jolie

July 9, 2022 Gotcha Day

After 6-1/2 years of being locked in a kennel and only allowed out once a day, this sweet mess of a dog joined the zoo.

 

Charles was so happy to have a new friend his size. Mini Cooper wasn’t sure about the ‘MOP.’

Charles and Jolie became the best of friends. Charles left us in June 2023 a month before Jolie’s 1st Gotcha day.

After Charles left, Jolie was lonely.

In September of 2023, Bearnard joined the zoo. This made her happy.

She really enjoys his company (sort of). As long as she doesn’t have to share Mommy all the time.

July 9th was her 2d Gotcha day. And what a happy girl she is. She has come a long way from being the ‘Mop.’

Jolie brings us endless laughs, cuddles and joy! We are so glad we GOTCHA.

DogDaz Zoo: BEARnard turns 3!

Birthdays happen so fast. Bearnard came to live with us in September 2023. They did not know his birthday. They did not know his age (maybe 2 or 3). In keeping with DogDaz tradition of giving all our rescues holiday birth dates, (because most rescues don’t actually come with real birth dates), his birthday became July 4th. BEARY is officially 3 DogDaz years old.

And we are loving every minute of him!

Kisses from Jolie for Beary’s Bday!

Wonderful Wednesday: Let’s Go For A Walk

You may not be able to tell, but we are bored. Mommy works too much and we always have to ‘hang out.’ We want to play more, run more, eat more, do more things, but nooooooo. We have to wait. Life as a dog can be very boring.

But we forget all about being bored when Mom finally takes us for a walk.

Now that is fun! We love to walk.

Have a wonderful walking Wednesday.

DogDaz Zoo: Fantastic Friday

We got hair/fur cuts. Aren’t we gorgeous?

This is my glamour pose

BEARnard is such a manly man. He could be a centerfold in a magazine.

Mom says we are the cutest team in the world and loves how we help her in the office. Bearnard can be pretty silly at times (but of course I am the perfect lady).

Do you like getting your hairs done? We like it when it is over.

Have a fantastic Friday – Jolie the Magnificant

Wonderful Wednesday: Lap Wars Continue

Did you ever notice how everyone wants a piece of Mom’s lap? It is hard to get any space to get comfortable. Don’t they know that she is mine and I should have priority?

Mini Cooper is so rude. She has the nerve to sit on me because she wants the whole lap to herself. Cats can be so pushy, don’t you think?

Sometimes, Bearnard doesn’t mind being close to Mini Cooper as long as she lets him stay on Mom’s lap. I don’t know about you but she looks scary to me.

I give up. I am going to go into my kennel and let Bearnard and Mini Cooper figure it out. Nite Nite – Jolie Olie

Wonderful Wednesday: Big Tree 2024

Over the years Big Tree, the giant maple in the backyard, has seen many animals. It watched the kids grow up. It shadowed many a pool party. Now it has a new group of protectors.

Jolie and Bearnard are the keepers of the watch in 2024.

In 2023, it was Charles and Jolie.

In 2022, it was Charles, Louise, and Sofie.

In 2013, it was Louise and Sofie.

In 2012, it was Squash and Louise.

In 2011, it was just Squash.

In 2002, it was Nikki and Squash.

They have seen a lot of squirrels come and go and think about all those birds. There was a year (about 3 years ago) that the Cedar Waxwings stayed in Big Tree for a month.

What tree do you protect?
