The dogs have discovered something interesting under the leaves but I just don’t see it or smell it. They, however, are absolutely, positively, sure that it is the most interesting thing in the yard today and they are just not coming in the house until they have sniffed it, dug it, fought over it (and possibly relieved themselves on it). Maybe it is an invisible stick that only they can see that fell during the Super Storm? Or maybe a fox or other critter made it’s way into the yard and left them a secret scent? Whatever it is, it has them riveted to that spot. “Mine!,” Sofie says, as she tries to position herself so that Louise can’t get to it. “Oh, no you don’t!,” states Louise, by proceeding to grab Sofie by the collar and pull her across the yard (sorry I am not that fast on the camera). I never did find out what was so interesting in that spot to cause such a commotion, but oh well…. they are off hunting other treasure now under the pine trees.

So when I got up this morning, at my usual way-to-early still dark-out time, I let the dogs out, picked up my SmartPhone, checked my digital calendar, looked at work email (Lotus Notes) to see if there was anything urgent, checked Gmail for the personal urgent stuff, made sure my kid’s statuses were upbeat on Facebook, made sure this WordPress blog kicked off a little after midnight as scheduled, noted a new business contact in LinkedIn that wants to chat, brushed my teeth, and then let the dogs back in. I don’t know about you but social media became an essential part of my everyday life over 2 decades ago. Social media tools are definitely improving but it is how you apply them to your life that makes all the difference. In a few weeks (28 November to be exact), the blog will be 1-year-old and I will have blogged every day, no matter where in the world I was, for 365 days. Oh my, that kind of blows me away. Since I work through the internet and I also get a great deal of my entertainment and socialization this way, I find that social media has transformed my day and my life in incredible ways. Now that DogDazCats2 has a Facebook page, I get to do 2 statuses a day, not just 1 (Whoopee!!). Ok, well maybe I am a little obsessed with the whole connection thing. But I really do like it and it feeds me in some really interesting ways. Hey, I got to meet all of you, at least virtually, didn’t I?
What’s you digital start to the day and what do you think about social media in your life?

Sofie may be going on 2 years old later this month, but she is still the biggest baby in the house. When she gets sleepy so goes down stairs to her kennel and finds her lovey, Beaver, and then carries him around until she goes to bed. Notice the circles under her eyes? That is another sign of a sleepy Sofie. However, just like a little kid, she refuses to go into her bed until she is told to. She and Beaver will sit a few feet away and roll and roll saying “but Mom, I am so cute, don’t you just want to rub my tummy all night.”
Goodnight, Sofie Bear
Goodnight, Lulu Belle
Goodnight, Beaver

SuperCat, Nine here. I can leap from tall cabinets in a single bound. I can jump higher than any cat ever did before. I like to tight-robe-walk along the shower curtain rod and then fly through the air to land on the sink. I am amazing. I do not understand why the humans and all the other animals in the zoo are always yelling at me. Someone even scratched me on the nose while I wasn’t looking. I will show them. I will be king of this house even if they keep spraying me with that water thing and throwing shoes at me. Mommy keeps telling me to stop beating up on poor old Muffin and anxious Miss Kitty, but I won’t. I will back them into every corner I can to show them who is boss. But I don’t understand why Sofie Bear has to come and nip at me to try and protect them, she isn’t even a cat. I thought she would be on my side. Yesterday even the big black non-cat, Louise, took a nip at me after a big fight in the living room, she usually never gets involved. I have noticed that the boss cat, Noel, now stays real close to Muffin so that I can not get to him. I will find a way. I will use my magic powers of cuteness and make them all understand that I can not help being an adolescent boy cat with a lot to prove in a zoo of animals. The humans put this silly smelly purple color on me that is suppose to calm me down, but I’ll show them. Nothing is going to slow me down from my march to be SuperCat of the zoo. Mommy said something about sending me to a ‘farm’ soon if I don’t clean up my act. What does that mean?

I made the best tofu stir fry last night. The whole time however Louise was under foot. To get her out of the way I gave her a piece of tofu, which she never had before. She sniffed and immediately left (carnivore that she is), leaving it for Sofie. Sofie investigated; picked it up and moved it to the other side of the kitchen.; lay down on the floor with the giggly thing, and then proceeded to figure out how to eat it. She liked it and wanted more. Then Louise came back to me and complained that Sofie ate her tofu. Sometimes, you just have to laugh. Well, actually, a lot of the time with my goofballs.

Today is election day here in the United States. By tomorrow we will know who will be the leader of the country for the next 4 years. Makes me wonder how long a pack leader lasts? Though young pups come up and try to overthrow the leader, there is no vote, only pure dominance and power. Does a pack leader use TV commercials to win? And spend a gizillion dollars that could have been used for dog food? I just wish the winner was the one that gave the most money away instead of wasting it on marketing. Good luck. Please vote. Don’t waste your civic right and also your civic duty. You do make a difference.
