Tag Archives: Follow Up Friday

Today is Follow-up Friday hosted by Jodi from Heart Like A Dog.  This is where we review the week behind so that we can launch into the week ahead (or something like that).

Another flat-out running to the finish line week.  I have started walking the dogs twice a day if I can, so that they and I get some rest (funny to think of walking dogs as restful, but for me it truly is my heaven).

Last Caturday, Noel was being the royal girl that she is.  Someone noticed she was giving the ‘down’ signal with her paw.  I guess no one got their head cut off so we made it through the royal cat viewing.  She really is the boss around here.

Louise, showed her Italian side on Monday Mischief (no offense to that part of the family).  No one ended up “sleeping with the fishes,” so again, we survived the test.

I see a pattern here that was never intended.  Do you?

We highlighted a wonderful 12-year-old named Kitty on Tuesday’s Tails.  It is getting really hard each week to watch all these senior animals be taken into the shelter and struggle to find new homes.  Please adopt a senior, if you can.

We were definitely looking for words on Wordless Wednesday to describe poor little Sofie sticking her head over the windowsill trying to see me as I was leaving.  Sometimes Louise is there too, but you can’t see her because she is black and the camera just does not pick her up.  If only you could hear Sofie, whine whine whine.  “Mommy, oh, you are leaving me!”  What a drama queen.  I guess she an Noel will have to battle for the crown this week.  You can just make out her ear, eye, and nose in the air.  BOL

We are very Thankful Thursday, for all food, but especially for COOKIES!!!  Everyone around the zoo loves their treats.  Sofie is a chewer and Louise is a goobler.  But, most of the time Louise waits and then cleans up Sofie’s crumbs (of which there are many).

Where did that week go?  Hope your’s was royal and good fun.

As Indian Winter (see last week’s FUF if you want explanation) continues this summer, here in the Mid-Atlantic, we are having some wonderful fall weather.  We have had the windows open almost every day this week (except when it was raining).  I even had a sweatshirt on this morning out with the dogs.  But, it is August.  This is unheard of.  I am not complaining, but are we going to have summer in October?

Last Caturday, no one told me I had the wrong date on my post (it said 8.3.13 instead of 8.10.13).  You most have all thought I was a week behind.  Hahahahha.  Nine had his tail in the planter’s hands.  It was a purrffect tail aid.

Black and White Sunday was a fuzzy focused walk in the park with the girls, Louise and Sofie.  I liked the fuzzy effect (actually I did not even realize I did that), but some people didn’t like it.  Oh well.  Here is a picture from the same series but in color.

Mischief Monday found us down at the docks checking to see what was in the crab pots.  Nothing.

On Tuesday’s Tails, we featured a beautiful green-eyed senior kitty named Betty.  Everyone loved her eyes, her sour expression, and wished her a speedy new home.

Louise showed you her new pink flying thingie on Wordless Wednesday.  She keeps wanted to play tug with it, instead of toss (tug being her favorite game).  Sofie steals it and takes it under a tree, and then you know the rest….

Gimme that! No, you gimme that!
It’s MINE! MMMMMOOOOOMMM!

And, Thankful Thursday, I grabbed a great old shot of Muffin laying on tomatoes from our garden.  The first crop is in, and I just love that picture.  Really miss that Muffin Man.

That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us.  Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

The weather broke beautiful this week from that terrible heat we have been having.  They call the warm weather of late autumn, Indian Summer, so I am going to call this, Indian Winter.  (reference: Deedler, William (Fall 1996). “Just What Is Indian Summer And Did Indians Really Have Anything To Do With It?”. National Weather Service Detroit office.))  I am not complaining, it is marvelous.  Actually Indian WInter supposedly happens in the spring when you think winter is over but then it snows, but I think all this cool weather in summer deserves a name too.

On Caturday, the 3 cats were on the bed for their late night snack.  These 3 only come together for eating.  It was easier to take a picture when there were 5 then it is for 3,  I guess Noel really wants nothing to do with the young ones.  I can understand, because Nine is a bully.  Here were the 5 in bed with me before we lost Muffy and Cuddles.

Black & White Sunday was a cool shot of the dogs in the sports field.  I think the mowed grass looks like waves in the ocean.  What do you think?

Of course the dogs were up to their usual Mischief Monday.  We were sitting nicely on the couch watching a TV show when they had to toss and bite for a better position near me.  Actually, I should say Sofie did, since she seems to always be the one to start something.  BOL.

Sofie: I want to be a cat so I can snack on the bed too!

I showcased 2 new seniors on Tuesday’s Tails.  It is so sad when seniors are in the shelter.  I do hope it helps them find their final homes.  I wish I could create a no-kill safe home for animals 7 and older.  Wouldn’t that be great.  Shady Acres.  They could live out there lives or find final homes. Oh Dog, I don’t want to think about the amount of care that would take –  I can dream though, right?

Wordless Wednesday were our constant pool guests – uninvited but always welcome.  We have several pair of ducks that return year after year.  I do wonder if they are generations of the previous families?  How long do ducks live and do they come back to the same nesting spots year after year?  We like to name them.  Last year I had 7 males that hung together in the bushes all the time.  Duck Gangs!

There is so much to be Thankful for and Thankful Thursday focused to the heavens and gave you a beautiful dog cloud.  I love cloud formations and pride myself on seeing all kinds of things.

That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us.  Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

We are busier now then we ever were when Mom was working full-time.  How can that be?  So many things going on.  Caturday  we were thinking about Cuddles.  She only liked V and was a real one person cat.  But, for V she was a cuddler.  We don’t have any cuddle cats now. 😦

Black and White Sunday was a sad sight of the dogs wishing for a swim in the pool. So I went and bought them one, which they snubbed immediately.  No!  They only want to swim in the big pool with the humans.  They can’t come in for multiple reasons, but the biggest being that we have a liner that would tear from their claws. Liner pools are delicate that way.  Plus, I really don’t want all that hair in the filter.

On left – dog pool; On right – my pool

Monday’s Mischief was a gazillion butterflies on our Butterfly bushes.  We love to watch them dance and play.  Luckily I had already scheduled that post because we got hit with a lightning strike on Sunday night which knocked out the TV, phone, and internet.  We were out of service until Tuesday afternoon, which is why I missed the usual Tuesday’s Tail Blog Hop. But Noel did manage to post a notice from my Smartphone (that social cat). All the kids, and me, were freaking because we have become so dependent on our electronics.  Humbling to have to do something else besides social media or TV for a few evenings.

Baby Stella was hiding in K8’s window on Wordless Wednesday.  She just loves K8 and windows and hiding.  MOL.

And then finally on Thankful Thursday, I was jubalant in finding out that Sofie’s rash was not scabbies, as I feared, but a skin bacteria, due to chubby skin folds staying wet too long and growing bad stuff.  I can deal with that!  Now I am going to collapse by the pool until further notice (and get those dogs swimming).

Happy Sofie home from vet with her favorite toy

Today is Follow-up Friday hosted by Jodi from Heart Like A Dog.  This is where we review the week behind so that we can launch into the week ahead (or something like that).

How did the end of June happen? Is this Follow-up or Fall-behind Friday – I am not sure anymore.  Sorry if I haven’t commented on your stuff in awhile, just trying to keep my head above water – but you are all still making me smile so hang in there with me.

Last Caturday I was looking at pictures of Nine when he first came to us.  They said he was a year old, but we just don’t think so. At 2 1/2, he is still such a little man.  Cat age only matters to humans though, the cats don’t really care.  Here’s another one from his first days at the zoo.

Nine

Black & White Sunday was the girls after a romp in the water.  I added a little grain otherwise you could not see Louise in all her darkness.  The balance between the two different coats pushes my minimal photo skills.  Wet dogs really teach me about coats: Louise dries before she even gets out of the water, but Sofie…. she is wet for days.  Kind of like my curly hair.  BOL

By Monday Mischief we were in major chew on each other face mode.  Louise just gets so jealous when Sofie wants to lie anywhere near me on the coach.  “Mommy is MINE!”  They are so funny.  In the end, I leave and they wonder what happened.  When I return we all chill better.  You may remember this picture of them protecting my knees, nicely, from both sides.  That is the way I like it.

Tuesday’s Tail focused on some senior puppies that need new homes.  Many of you were so upset that people would give up their older sweethearts.  It is heartbreaking.  But I think about a few things.  In these economic times, maybe they want to ensure their elder pets get fed and medical care which they no longer can afford to give them (OK, it’s a stretch.).  Or, which really upsets me, the owners are placed in a nursing facility that does not allow animals.  I really wish that nursing homes did allow people to take their senior pets with them, I would die quick without mine.  Hopefully, I will never have to find out.  ADOPT A SENIOR!!

I am happy to say that Sofie is doing somewhat better today.  You read her story on Wordless Wednesday.   Since it has been 4 days since the vet visit, I took the cone off and am letting her work off the bandage.  The vet said try to keep it on 3 to 5 days, so I figure it is safe to start giving her, her head back.  The cone really depressed her big time.

You have all been so thoughtful, especially about the conehead toe incident and also my job situation.  On Thankful Thursday, as always, I say my blessings.  And now, it is Friday.

That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us.  Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.
