Noel is not amused that Nine and Mini Cooper have discovered that Mommy puts an empty box on the dining room table for her. I wish that I could have caught a video last night when Noel was down low in the box, and the other 2 wanted to go in, not knowing she was there, and ‘POP’ she scared them both off the table (for a moment). They are just cracking us up.
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Why is she making us sit here on this beautiful afternoon when we could be playing in the water?
This chair is so weird and uncomfortable. I am going to fall right through it.
Why is it so hot in October? Mom says we broke a heat record today. Maybe she should reopen the pool?
I’m out of here! Tell me when fall actually comes to the Mid-Atlantic.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Do you tie knots in your leashes? Tying knots in my leashes helps me when walking the dogs. With 2 dogs, I do a dance with both leashes most of the time. I use 6 foot leads, of a good weight, and I tie a few knots in them (usually at 3 and 5 feet marks). When I drop a lead, which sometimes I do on purpose to free my hands and pick up ‘you know what,’ and sometimes it just happens, I am able to immediately step on the leash, and because the knot is there, it is less likely to run under the arch of my foot. And there are the times that one dog is closer than the other (which happens often with 2 on the left), so I choke up to the 3 foot knot and don’t have any drag on the ground (I hate muddy leads). It makes me feel like I have a bit more control when I am walking, though I know, if I really need a leash to walk the dogs, I don’t really have any control at all. The dogs humor me though.

Sometimes at night, I have no idea where the dogs are in the yard. Usually I can see Sofie’s blond fur reflecting some light. But Louise, in all her sleek and beautiful blackness, disappears into the darkness. I try to keep a reflective collar on her so that I can find her. Even with that, she sometimes comes running out of no where in the night and scares the pants off of me. And, if she is busy with some squirrel or hole digging and does not want to come in, there is no way that I am finding her at night. Nights are made for mischief and black dogs can rule the night!

This is what you call ‘Double trouble!’ Noel, the Christmas Cat, and Mini Cooper, clearly conspiring about something. Not often do you see 2 cats together at the Zoo without hearing a ‘crash, zip, bang’ after a few minutes. Many times it is a scheme to get Sofie in trouble (interesting that they rarely prank Louise). Usually it is Mini being the instigator. Noel is just an easy mark, and gets blamed for stuff, because she is a little slow on the uptake (if you know what I mean). The other cats know that she moves slow and can’t always figure things out. Do you think they take advantage sometime and set her up? Noel doesn’t care because as long as she gets Mom’s attention she is happy. And Mom is never negative with her because she really does not understand consequence, so what’s the point. With Noel, you just keep loving her and loving her and she is a joy. Mini Cooper, on the other hand, one of the smartest and cuddliest cats in the world, is a bundle of mischief and craziness. Nine usually is the one to scold her, so Mom doesn’t have to (thank goodness for older brothers).
Do your cats scheme against the dogs or each other?

So many little humans getting off the school bus.
Mojo and Zelda are walking with their human. NO FAIR!
There’s a squirrel in the tree. Let me at it!
Where’s that fox? I smell it.
What’s all that catawalling down at the house with those 4 cats?
I love when Mom leaves the window open.
Hope you are having a great Wednesday.

The laundry room is definitely the cat gymnasium around here. And when they get thirsty, they stop in the sink and get a little sip from the leaky slop sink faucet. No wonder there is always cat hair on my clean wash.

Louise is such a hound dog. I know people think she is a little Labrador, but actually, she is much more hound. I am thinking Plott hound. I actually found pictures of Plott hounds on the internet that look exactly like her.
She hates water for one thing (aren’t labs supposed to love water?). And she doesn’t have webbed feet. Her nose is stuck to the ground always trailing some scent. She can smell a fox a mile away. I think I am going to rename her ‘Hoover,’ after the vacuum cleaner. Lulu, I think I found your family tree. Not that it is really important, but sometimes knowing the linage of your dog can help you with training, medical, and other issues. They say Plott Hounds are loyal and stubborn. That would be my girl!
