The girls were helping make Peanut’s bed before she came home yesterday for the holidays. They miss her. They miss being in her room. And, they especially miss being on her bed. They were no help.

Something is very interesting outside in the back. I think that the woodpecker is at the suet or maybe the redbirds are at the bath. You usually don’t find Louise and Nine together but they appear to have a similar focus. Enjoy your Caturday!
We took the “Puppies Are Not Toys Pledge” sponsored by RumpyDog and he sent us this wonderful prize pack from the ASPCA of NYC. We grew up in New York so we feel a special affinity to anything from up there. What great fun this has been to win something for a pledge that we would take anyway, Thank you Rumpy and DeDe and June Buggy for making people smarter about this sad fact.
We love opening boxes and we never won anything before so this was neato! We won a new jingle bell collar (which is a little tight, but maybe they thought we were elf dogs), a new SantaPaws stocking (which is absolutely gorgeous), a cat toy for the kitties, an ASPCA wrist band for Mom, a box of Walker’s Scottie Dog Shortbread cookies for our guests, a box of doggy gift cards, and a really neat orange tote bag to put it all in. Yahoooooo!!! We feel really special. Thank you RumpyDog, you made our day. Also a big thanks to Olivia Melikhov at the ASPCA for getting this to us so quickly.
I don’t have any prizes to give away, but please take the pledge. Your gift is one less animal in a shelter or neglected because they were not right for a family that did not really understand that Pets Are Not Toys.
When you have a dark dog and a light dog, getting the right camera exposure is really hard. Sofie is on my lap on the couch and Louise is on the floor. Yes, those are my piggy pajamas she has her head on (bottom right corner); they are purple. The caption should probably read something more like: “This is my Mommy so go away!,” which seems to be a constant lap battle around her.

Every day I wake up in a heap of cats. For that I am thankful. Then I open the kennel doors and I am slobbered and licked and tail whipped good morning, and for that I am thankful. There is no where that I go in my home that I am not accompanied by some four legged furry, and for that I am thankful. How totally different my life would be without my fur family. Since about 5 years old (which was a very very long time ago), I have always had fur family. And, for that, I am thankful. There are so many positive things that I get from my pets. They comfort me when I am blue. They are my walking partners. They make sure that I do not forget to do my chores (or they will do them for me: like cleaning the litter boxes in a way that I do not think is acceptable or licking the dirty dishes clean). They give me smiles on a rainy day and provide me hugs. They make me get up from the computer and go outside to feel the breeze. And, so importantly, they make me laugh (especially Louise). Life with furry family is wonderful to me.
