Here is a day in the life of Mini Cooper, 3 lb warrior of the DogDaz Zoo. She is getting along with everyone really well. Sofie is still being a little over zealous with her, but she just wants to herd her around the house.
What mischief are you into today?

This is a blog hop. I hopped it from Snoopy’s DogBlog. Check them out for more mischief.

A moment from 2012. Here at the Zoo, dogs must stay on the floor. We made this rule so that cats have an escape route. I know, however, that Sofie is up on the bed the minute we close the front door (because no cat would leave a warm spot that big). Someday I think I will set up one of those Nanny cameras to really see what happens when we are gone. This is just a ‘normal’ Saturday morning at the zoo.
Hahahaha
I can not imagine a life without cats.
Happy Caturday.
Just another CATDogDaz morning at the zoo ❤

A High School friend of mine (via Facebook) contacted me yesterday with an interesting question. She has 8 cats (bless her little rescuing heart) and is considering getting a small dog. She has never had a dog and was worried about several things, but especially about the dog eating cat litter. With 9 pans in her house, I could understand the concern. What I learned in answering her question was that kitty litter could actually be toxic to small dogs (I did not know that). Check out this information on eHOW. I always have had a concern about dog’s eating cat poop, but I did not think about them eating the actual litter. It makes sense that clumping litter could really block a small dogs system, and it contains chemicals that could cause all kinds of gastro distress.
In our house, we have 2 uncovered pans in the the laundry room accessible only through a cat door or by a human, and a third side entry pan by my office, which the dogs can not get into. We try for one pan per cat.
Cats and dogs can make the best of house mates. Notice in the photo above, Mr.Nine last night taking over Louise’s bed. You can see 60 pound Lulu in the corner trying to lie on Sofie’s little dog bed because she did not want to tangle with the 10 pound ManCat sleeping in the middle of her’s. Around here cats tend to have the upper paw. BOL BOL (Bark Out Loud)
Post script: My thoughts and prayers are in Boston today. When will senseless killing end.
Just another dogdaz morning at our house ❤
