Monday Mischief: In Honor of Labor Day You Deserve a Rest
DogDaz Zoo: Peanut Is Leaving The Nest
Peanut is moving out into her own place today. No more living with the parents. Though she has come and gone to college, and her year in Isreal, this is different. After 25 years, this time, she is finally fledging from the nest for good. She is doing a lot of cat hugging and dog cuddling, She mostly says she will miss Noel and her morning ritual with Mini Cooper.
Best of luck, Baby. The zoo will be here when you need cat and dog fur on your clothes.

Caturday: SnapChat With Noel
Peanut loves Snapchatting me into different faces and accessories. I guess because I am white the Snap thinks I am a human because she can’t do that to any of the other animals. I am pretty beautiful. Peanut is moving tomorrow into her own place and won’t be around much to take silly pictures of me anymore. We will miss her. Now Mommy might have to download Snapchat and learn how to do it herself.
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Wonderful Wednesday: Mr. Contrary
I have to laugh how in sync the animals are. Sometimes even the cats lie on the floor with the dogs in the same positions. We get lots of mirroring around the zoo. Mr. Charles cracked me up on this day because Louise and Sofie were lying one way and he was lying the other way, busy, as usual, chewing on a toy. It reminded me of the old nursery rhyme:
Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.[1]

DogDaz Zoo: Kitty Has Gone Over the Bridge
Sadly, last Friday morning, my Grandcat, Mr. Kitty, suffered a sudden onset of Saddle Thrombus and passed away.
Saddle thrombus (or saddle thrombosis) is a blood clot that starts off in the left atrium of the heart and then moves out into the aorta (aortic thromboembolism). Once there, the clot travels to the junction of the aorta and into the iliac arteries where it gets stuck. Since the iliac arteries feed into the femoral arteries, which serve the back legs, the clot prevents blood flow to the back legs and is an extremely serious condition.
90% of the time, saddle thrombus is related to an underlying heart condition such as dilated or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (types of congestive heart failure).
The main symptom is weakness or paralysis of the hind legs, which will be colder than other parts of the body and may even be bluish in color. The cat will be in a lot of pain, often vocalizing his discomfort loudly. Go to your veterinarian or an emergency clinic immediately if your cat has these symptoms.
He was a wonderful cat and the family is heartbroken by his sudden passing. Kitty was an 11-year old Maine Coon mix. He will be greatly missed. Travel safe little man over the rainbow bridge to the big meadow in the sky.

Monday Mischief: Mom Attack on National Dog Day
A storm was coming, as is usual in August. K8 snapped a picture of all 3 dogs hoping that I could save them from the impending booms. It is rare that you get a shot of me with all of them. I love my goofballs.
Happy National Dog Day!

Caturday: A Leg Up
The herb window is Noel’s domain. But you know Mini Cooper. She will go anywhere she wants and pushes herself on cats, dogs, humans. She is a ‘very present’ cat. I am not sure that Noel is happy about sharing her afternoon nap with Mini, but she is making the best of it. Her face kind of says ‘Help me please, get this youngster out of here!’
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Monday Mischief: Sending Prayers
No mischief today as we honor the passing of 2 great doggies and send prayers of healing to another.
Our neighborhood friend, Finnegan, who was a gentle giant and therapy dog passed this month. He will leave a large gap in the community pack.
Sadly, our California friend, Princess OG, who was her mother’s light on dark days, passed on as well. She was a great swimmer and hiking buddy and we know that she is smiling down on her family from the meadow above.
As their spirits rise over the rainbow bridge into the great meadow, may their humans find comfort in knowing they were loved by these special creatures and that they provided them with excellent lives full of love and cuddles.
Also please send extra prayers and healing wished to Louise’s BFF, Amy, whose bladder ruptured last week. She has suffered through 2 surgeries and will be forever changed, however, her family will provide her the support and care she will need as she hopefully returns home soon.

Louise does not care about, nor like, many dogs, but Amy has always been her best friend.
