2.11.12 We Are Honored By Another ‘One Lovely Blog’ Award

11 Feb

Wow – Another One Lovely Blog Award in the same week, this time from Dianda of Cats & Co.  Thank you so much.  Cats & Co is a very catty site with Suki, the Queen, and Hiro, the silly cat.  If you want to learn all about cats (and my 5 cats sure love to learn history and tips), this is the place to watch.

Here are 7 more things about us:

1.  I am deathly afraid of…..don’t laugh…..ballons!

2. Miss Constance Kitty will pee on the newspaper if you leave it on the kitchen table overnight (no one knows why).

3.  Louise can take the squeaker out of a dog tennis ball in 60 seconds max.

4.  I was attacked by 6 large guard dogs when I was in my twenties.

5.  I am terrible at cutting the cats claws (and I have many a shredded door jam to show for it).

6.  The dogs love cat food, and The Muffin Man loves dog food.

7.  I once had the opportunity to walk/run a wolf through the woods.  He was rescued from a captive situation and was being cared for by a rescue society.  Though he was old, and tethered to me around the waste, I ran for over an hour behind him.  I will never forget the wolves eye view.  He had to be walked by a human so that no one took a shot at him and also so he did not run away (I guess).

So now to pay it forward to 5 more lovely blogs:

BassasBlog: I must say that I keep forgetting the dog that I am madly in love with, every blog day, Bassa, – She is the most incredible looking, sweetest giant on the net.  And her humans have shown me a lot about the place they live, Tblisi.  Keep up the giant work and making me smile every day.

The Dante Diaires: Dante Alighieri is a 3 year old Malti-Poo, weighing in at about 5 lbs. (my girls would call that breakfast – LOL).  Follow his adventure with his humans in Florida.  They call him the Traveling-Boy (an he appears to be very portable).

Missing Williow Farm: This is the adventures of my x-coworker Connie, her husband, and her farm.  Check out her new goat triplets.  The site is well done, fun, and informative.  She has taught me there can be a life after the corporation.

PhotoBotos: These pictures are blowing me away, even if they aren’t dogs and cats.  The brothers, Charlie and Tom, are on a mission to provide us with one AMAZING picture everyday.  You must see!!!

Cupcake Speaks:  The tales of the adorable rescue, Cupcake, and his children’s book author mom, are a great read.  Mom also blogs a lot about kids, as a former teacher.  A big woof for this little dog.

Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo!  Keep those awards coming – we love them and you too!!!! ❤

2.10.12 The Blogger Noel

10 Feb

Noel likes to sleep next to me all day while I work.  She is the office cat.   Recently she decided that the thing that Mommy is always looking at (my screen) seems to have some cool moving things on it.

Noel sleeping on my papers

The other night when I posted the rodeo video of the “Corgi Cowboy,” Noel decided that it was time to take over the blog. She loved the moving stuff on the screen and started pawing at it.  Please excuse me if I misspell or goof up from now on because I have a

Noel Blogging

cat in front of the screen which means that I am typing blind.  Muffin has helped me on the computer by typing on the keyboard and he actually sent an instant message once that looked like “eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.”  He also knows the exact combination of keys to walk on to make my screen go sideways.  It took me several hours one day to figure out how to undo that.    I guess I will have to get a touch screen so that Noel can start to compose her weekly stories to you directly on the screen.  I never had an animal actually focus in on moving stuff on the screen before. I think it must be like the laser pointer movement that I play with them sometimes.  I shine the laser dot around and they run after it.  I asked Noel what she wanted to blog about, but she really did not have any ideas (deep thought is not her strong suit).  She said anything as long as it has movement.

There is definitely going to be interesting now that Noel has discovered that things move back and forth across the screen.  She is now chasing the pointer.  This is kind of fun but not very productive from a productivity stand point.  Oh well, it is much more fun to play with the cat than get any real work done.  How am I going to explain this to my boss though.  “Sorry boss but my cat decided to block the screen so my reports all look like a monkey did them.”  Well, I have heard that monkeys are very smart and actually that if you give one a typewriter they will actually end up writing a pretty good book, or something like that.  So, when I become unemployed my hope is that Noel will be able to support the family.  (She is giving me the evil eye now and she does not think that is very funny.  “Mom,” she says, “you know that I just want to sleep and look pretty, don’t make me work for my supper.”)  I guess I will have to make her stay in her pretty pink bed next to the warm computer, so that I can keep getting my work done, and she can stay in her diamonds and pearls.  Just another DogCATDaz morning at the zoo! ❤

2.9.12 00:32 One Lovely Blog Award

09 Feb

Thank you sooooo much to Misty Shores Chesapeakes for recognizing us with this very wonderful ‘One Lovely Blog Award.’  I am really happy that other bloggers are reading and enjoying my stuff.  Misty even said that we posted ‘cool’ stuff.  That made me so happy.  I do try to find interesting internet animal stuff to brighten the day. And maybe because I live on the Chesapeake Bay we have a special connection; me and the Chessie dogs.  Misty Shores has 4 lovely Chessies. Cheyenne, Maia, Riva, and Titan, and their purfect cats: KC & BW.  They are a beautiful bunch.

I think the rules of the award are that I tell you 7 things about us and than I pay 5 forward.

  1. Louise snores
  2. Sofie likes to clean the cat pan (gross!!!) when she can.
  3. I would adopt every homeless animal I meet if I could just figure out how to feed and walk them.
  4. I always wanted to ‘mush.’
  5. I miss the dogs a lot when I am gone for more then 3 days.
  6. There is almost always one animal in my office with me at any time (currently there are 4).
  7. Sometimes I stoop to bribery to get Sofie to come inside.

I wish I could give everyone a badge for being so wonderful, but I have selected some blogs that I really have been enjoying lately and that are ‘lovely.’  (I am only going to select sites that I have not honored before, because that only seems fair.)

  1. Onecoolgriff: Rambo, a Petite Brussels Griffon living in Michigan and his family of five dogs (two more Griffs, Pearlie Blue and Jemmie, Atticus the Rottweiler, and Buddy ‘the incredibly-old-but-still-getting-around whatever kind of dog,’ two cats, three VERY BIG horses, and his two peeps, Mom an Dad. This blog is funny and fun and I want to thank them for making us laugh.
  2. Bumpy Road to Bubba: This is a very lovely blog about a single Mummy and her darling 1 year old, Poppy Grace (aka Bubba).  Along with the furry family Bella & Bear.  This is her ‘journey to motherhood – single by chance, mother by choice.’  Thanks for letting us watch you all grow together.
  3. Chancy the Gardener:  With a face to-die-for and an incredible set of ears, watch Chancy, and the cats: Patches, Pooh, and Snookums, get into a lot of trouble fun.  Thanks for the fun.
  4. RumpyDog: Jenny Threet blogs about her rescues Rumpy and DeDe and their cats. I thought my zoo was funny and photogenic, but these guys are a hoot.  Thanks for the stories.
  5. TheNoiseInsideMyHead: Jake and Sabrina share their life with this wonderful young woman, Becca,who has been winning the cancer battle for many years.  I find her insightful, playful, and down right an inspiration.  Thanks for blogging and letting us share your journey.

So once again, we want to thank Misty Shores Chesapeakes for this honor – much love – Lulu Belle, Sofie Bear, The Muffin Man, Noel, Constance Kitty, the kittens, Nine & Stella, and of course, me (the human).

2.8.12 5:01: Louise is an Otter

08 Feb

Happiness

Louise loves to have her head scratched.  Actually, she loves to have under neither her neck scratched so much that she bends her head back so far she looks like a otter. I don’t have any picture of her like that because I am always busy scratching her neck and am not that good with the camera in my other hand.  Lulu can be a very serious dog.  I think because she is a fearful dog, she thinks a lot about things before she does them. But she has a funny and fun side too, I just need to remember sometimes to pull it out of her.  You really need to understand the personality of your dog, especially when they are the quiet type, to get them to laugh and do silly things with you. Louise likes to make me laugh.  She will bury her head against me and do a total body tumble – then she will start to just get overly crazy and roll on her back.

Lulu in the leaves (being serious)

Lulu sitting and staring

She also loves to sit on her hunches and stare at you. She doesn’t need to be leaning on anything, she just sits  She is a big hugger and likes to put her arms around you and give you a hug, She is just the right height to place her head under my mousing hand and make it jump.  Of course this is a queque that she thinks I have sat at the idiot box for long enough and it is now time to go play with her and Sofie (well, really just her – sometimes I think she wishes I would leave Sofie inside – or sell her to the Gypsies).  I try to spend quality time with each of my animals (but with 7 it is kind of hard).  Louise and I have a very close relationship and I make sure to give her personal tummy rubs and tumbles and ball tosses every day.  She is a Mama’s girl and really sticks to me like glue.  I never thought about owning a black dog or a short hair (I always had fluffy dogs) and we weren’t looking for one when we stumbled upon a rescue event at the pet store that day, 2 years ago.  The coordinator of the event pushed this very fearful, mangy (yes, she really had dry manage all over) our way.  Sometimes you just have to listen to the universe, because boy do I love this dog!  Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo! ❤

2.7.12 5:45: Let us in!!!

07 Feb

Sofie & Louise waiting with toys

The dogs have decided that it is time that they get to go in the safe room with the new kitties. So they are camped outside the door with their toys.  There is a lot of whining going on from Sofie (the whiner), but I am resistant. And since the upstairs litter box is right outside the kittens door, ‘The Muffin Man’ has decided it is a great launching pad to get in the room as soon as a human opens it.  Muffin has enlisted Miss Kitty to help him try and get inside. I think that between the whole group of them they may figure out how to actually turn the door knob. (I know that my Alice cat used to be able to get up on her back hunches and turn a knob years ago – so I am a little concerned.)  2 weeks is a very long time to have the kittens locked away, but we are not going to the Vet until Friday (which will be the first week).  Then we need to let them out slowly to experience the mob on the other side of the door.  I am thinking that I will let them out together, because there is safety in numbers, but I it has been a long time since I introduced 2 new animals at the same time.  (Sofie is helping me type (whine whine whine) and wants you all to know that she is going to do everything she can to get over the barricade and see what is on the other side.  Louise just wonders if it is food.)  Sofie is actually whining extra bad because C’s boyfriend, whom she absolutely loves, is here and he is a cat person, so they immediately disappeared in to the kitten room.  “No fair!” she whines, “Why is D not playing with me, I know he is here!”  This is going to be an interesting 2 weeks for sure.

This is my house, let me in!

What is going on in there?

Why are we locked out, Muffy?

This is just too funny.

Just another DogDaz morning at zoo! ❤
