Sofie took the plunge into Mo’s diving pool as soon as it was open. The steps are set for large Labrador height so they are a stretch for her, but she is determined. Nothing like a first freezing swim to get the fur flying. Louise on the other hand does not want to get her face wet. Lulu is more hound than lab when it comes to water; she would much rather howl at the other dogs than swim. Sofie would swim around all day if I let her – but then I would never get that fur dry.

Mini Cooper really likes when Louise plays with her squeaky yellow Peep. So much so that she has crawled up really close from behind and actually tried to interact with Lu to get at it. I couldn’t catch that picture because I was too busy watching that Lu didn’t take a bite out of the kitten. Then Mini jumped up on the chair and tried from a different angle. The fact that Louise reached out and nudged her gently, nose to nose, blew me away. There is something special about Mini that the dogs really like. Louise did lie on the peep and make sure that Mini understood it was hers though. “It is my Peep, Mini Cooper! Keep your cat paws off it!”
Oh, you were wondering where Sofie, the butt-in-ski, was during all this? Right behind Louise. But the energy made her anxious, so she was nibbling on the end of the dog bed as she does when she gets stressed. I love Louise’s splayed out legs to guard her squeaker. There is always mischief at the zoo.

Harold and Maude, or maybe some of their children, have returned for the 13th year in a row to the front pine trees. We always have at least one pair that nests in the yard each year, even with the crazy dogs. Welcome back little duckies! Now run for your lives because the dogs are coming out!

Mommy and Peanut went to NY to visit the family over the holiday weekend. They got to spend time with all the little and big humans and, of course, all our extended zoo family. Jazmine, who has lived with Aunt B since 2009, always loves to sit on Mom’s suitcase the minute she puts it down. Mom and V rehomed Jazz from one of V’s co-workers when she was still young and drove her north to join Aunt B. She is the purrfect animal mate for Aunt B because she is quiet and gets into almost no trouble (unless you consider that she broke a lovely serving dish on the server when she tried to jump up into the window before dinner. Since nothing is normally on the server and she always goes into that window, it really wasn’t her fault.) Isn’t she a beauty!
Boots is Mom’s gorgeous tuxedo grand-nephew kitty. He is about 9 or 10 (time flies – are the kids married that long?). He is a big sweet boy and seems to be doing well with the human grand-nieces (4 and 1 1/2). His brother Smudge did not come out for a photo op.
Snickers, the doodle service dog, belongs to Aunt J. She is Aunt B’s best friend, and though not family by blood, she is family just the same. Aunt J lived down the block when Mom and Aunt B were growing up and has always been with us. Sadly, Aunt J has the terrible disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Snickers is her second service dog. This is the first time we met him since they live in Florida. He comes from a group called My Angel With Paws. Service dogs make a huge difference in the life of people with limited mobility (not just blindness). What a sweet boy he is.
Mom always sends us to Sonya’s for our own vacation whenever she is not home. She says that we would not like long trips in the car or meeting other family members since we are so reactive. Best for us to meet them in pictures.
