 And yes, the tree actually fit in the trunk of the Prius.

Have a wonderful Sunday.

Caturday: Smells Like SantaPaws

Can we help you set up the holiday stuff, Mom?

This smells interesting? I know that I have smelled this before.

Is it that time of year already? We know that our friend Speedy the Cheeky House Bunny has started counting the days until Christmas. It must be coming soon.

We hope SantaPaws brings an end to this virus in everyone’s stockings.

What do you want SantaPaws to bring you?

I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Wonderful Wednesday: November Review

One second every day (well sometimes 2 seconds) in the life of the Dogdaz Zoo. From summer to winter in the bat of an eye. November was a very active month for humans, but not so much for the zoo: we just hung out in the leaves mostly.

Can you spot Thanksgiving dessert? (Hint: Gluten-free dairy-free apple crisp with Cashew Vanilla Ice Cream) Did you know that Mom also has a food blog called LoriansKitchen? If you are hungry, stop by.

Monday Mischief: Lulu Loves Her New Bed

Louise is so happy with her new orthopedic bed. It has side bumpers so she no longer has to put her head on the floor. She immediately went to sleep on it. Noel, on the other hand, is very happy with the old bed.

What kind of mischief did you get into today?

Black and White Sunday: Forever Squash

fall-07-squash-2

Squash E Bear, I know that you feel me, wherever you are, and that you know how much we miss you.

Fall was your season. Your coat would get so full and fluffy. Oh, how you loved to put your nose high in the air and sniff the change in the wind. It feels like only yesterday that you would crunch through the leaves and make a nest. Ten falls have passed without you and yet, I still see you lying under the big tree, watching for rabbits or squirrels. Now Louise, Sofie, and Lil’ Charles lay where you once did, keeping guard, and ensuring the yard is safe from intruders.

Fall was always our time, Big Guy. Hope they have leaf piles over the rainbow.

Caturday: Helping Myself

When Mommy turns her back to feed the dogs, I am very quick to help myself to the dog food. Aren’t I good at it. I don’t think Mom liked the idea that I am self-sufficient.

Remember, cats can have dog food, but dogs should not have cat food. It contains too much fat, calories, and protein that can really upset their tummies and even cause pancreatitis.

I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Wonderful Wednesday: Sofie Turns 10

Sofie Bear, my very complex bundle of anxiety, I love you to the ends of the earth and back. 10 years around the sun is a wonderful number of turns. You are a special girl and have taught me much. Keep finding that sunspot.

Happy Birthday!

Monday Mischief: A Comfy Toy To Nap On

I have no idea why she always lies on a toy, but she does.

What kind of mischief did you get into today?

Caturday: Stopping & Thinking

Mini just stopped by while I was eating breakfast, for who knows what reason. And then, moved on.

Wonderful Wednesday: Change Is In The Air

Sofie: Another beautiful afternoon sitting in the leaves. Big tree sure does drop a lot of them.
Charles: Hey, Sofie. I smell some change in the air.
Louise: Change? I don’t like change. I think I will hide here in this pile of leaves until it passes. Maybe I will come out on January 21st.
