The skeleton crew of DogDaz Zoo is taking over the feed. There is so much going on. One day it is hot, then cold, then windy, then raining. Mom says, it must be fall. We love October and the spooky times. Not a lot of houses have fun decorations yet this year. Maybe it is because here in the US people are just not in the mood to smile. We like to smile and play though.

We got our fall hair/fur cuts. Mom says we look great! This is our 2025 ‘school’ picture. Does your Mom make you take photo ops? We don’t usually sit for very long. She has to catch us when she can.

Next stop – Spooky Towne, then Turkey time! See you in November. Stay well and keep licking!

Hi. Bearnard here, reporting for the DogDaz Zoo!
Fall came fast – and so did my allergies.
I love to walk in the crunchy leaves, but all that autumn fun makes me itchy. Then I start biting my paws, which makes Mommy worried. I had my Cytopoint shot last month, and take Benadryl every day, but Mom says it’s not really helping. I really hope I don’t need another shot.
Still, the fall plants are beautiful, and we’re enjoying our morning walks. Mom say’s she’ll take more pictures if she has a hand free (we’ll see about that).
Mini Cooper had a rough time with a bad tooth.
She had to have one of her canine teeth pulled. (Funny that they call it a Canine tooth when she is a Feline, right?). She is doing much better now.
She was yapping and yapping for a while, and we couldn’t figure out what she was trying to say. When you have a chatty cat, it can be harder to interpret their conversations.
The anesthesia – or maybe the painkiller shot – had her loopy for about 3 days. But once it wore off, she was back to being her usual Mini self. The photos above? That’s her yelling at Mom to start their daily laser tag game.
Fall is Mom’s favorite time of year.
Not just because Halloween is coming (her all favorite holiday), but because she loves the autumnal equinox too. She says it’s when the Earth “tilts to fall” here in the Northern Hemisphere and it marks the start of the new year in her heart and for her people.
It’s her time to count all her blessings, clean her slate, and start fresh. She says we get to start fresh too – more apples and honey for everyone! (Except me. I hate fruit. And I hate veggies. I am a pretty picky eater for a dog.)
Oh – and Mom went to the Maryland Renaissance Faire with Peanut
Peanut loves cosplay. She makes her own costumes and even her own chainmail. She is one of our other favorite humans.

When they came home Mom gave us new names.(Don’t ask, just roll with it.) Jolie, the Magnificant and Bearnard, the Brave.
Jolie, the Magnificant
Bearnard, the Brave
What’s your medieval name? Enjoy the fall.

October is our favorite month at the zoo. Not only because the nights are cooler but the colors are all turning. And Mom gets to dress up the yard with spooky things.
This year Theodore, the skeleton, is walking JoBoo and ScaryBeary, who chased Henry up a tree.
Then we have the Skeletor-Louise and the skinny-kitty watching the front. Can you find the big spider?
The usual grave yard.
Falling leaves and pumpkins make the days sweeter.
Time to try on our costumes: angel and devil, of course.
What are you going to be for Halloween?

This week, in the Northern Hemisphere, autumn begins for real. It has been feeling like autumn for many days with the cool nights and the leaves falling to the ground. Thursday, September 22 the autumnal equinox* will make it really autumn even though to meteorologists, meteorological fall started on September 1. This is all very confusing but Mom says it is the bestest season of all 4 (Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring) and we are taking full advantage everyday.
*At this point, the Earth’s tilt is moving away from its maximum lean toward the Sun; its rays are aiming directly at the equator.
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

I tried to get a picture of all 3 dogs in the fall montage at the entrance to my neighborhood, but Charles did not like it at all and wanted to go home. He is not one to sit quietly and look pretty and I made the mistake of trying to force him to sit, which ended with him trying to eat my hand (no damage done).
The next day, I got Louise and Sofie to sit in the grass but because Sofie needs to lay down (she can’t sit very long anymore because of her arthritis), she is kind of hidden behind a bush. At least Louise will listen and look at me (sometimes). 🙂
Another DogDaz Photo Fail. Happy Fall!

There is nothing more enjoyable than a fall day on the deck.
Even Nine and Mini want to get in on the action from inside.
Happy Autumn!

Charles Fall 2017
Louise and Sofie Fall 2015
Louise Fall 2011
Squash Fall 2007
Autumn days come quickly, like the running of a hound on the moor.
–Irish proverb
Last week it was summer and this week it turned to true fall: welcome The Autumnal Equinox.
Fall was always Squash E Bears perfect time. His winter coat would start to bloom and he really looked like the perfect cuddle bear. Gosh, I miss that dog every day. I do love the current pack but there was something about Squash that even made people stop their cars in the middle of the street and ask about him. It was not really how he looked, though he was a formidable giant ball of fluff, he exuded this gentle energy that could be felt all around.
Fall is my favorite season. I love the colors, the crisp air, the smell of cider, and the pumpkin. I love how the animals start to gather all their hordes of food for winter, scurrying up and down the trees. And the smell of wood fires burning. Fall doesn’t last very long in the Mid-Atlantic anymore, we tend to go from summer heat to winter cold very quickly. So, I breathe in every moment I can get.
Oh my, I think I need to go make an apple pie. What do you love most about fall?
