These two goofballs, Sofie and Mini Cooper, spent the day napping on Peanut’s bed, with Peanut in it. They love that someone is home who can lounge around all day in bed and cuddle. Ah, how wonderful to be a student on summer vacation. (Photos by Peanut)

I know you weren’t thinking that Mini Cooper’s first birthday was any different than any other day at the zoo. She is always starting something, even on her special day. Nine is such a good boy because he always lets his little sister think she has won the wrestling match. I am sure he could destroy her if he cared to. Glad that he doesn’t. If you watch to the end you will see who the real instigator is…. can you guess?

Mom was trying out this new movie making thing called Magisto and she found out, only after working on it for a really long time, that she can not embed it into the blog. You don’t want to know the things that were coming out of her mouth but she told us never to repeat them.
She thought it would be really cool to use this video movie thing, but now you have to click on the link above to go there instead of watch it right here.
Mom is out of town this week on business so we are at Sonya’s playing with all the Dalmatians. Mom said to tell you her comment response may be slow but you are important to her so she will try to get back to you as soon as she can. I hope she is having as much fun as we are, but we doubt it since she is working and we are vacationing.
Oh, that isn’t Louise swimming in the water after Sofie, it is Zelda.

Sofie took the plunge into Mo’s diving pool as soon as it was open. The steps are set for large Labrador height so they are a stretch for her, but she is determined. Nothing like a first freezing swim to get the fur flying. Louise on the other hand does not want to get her face wet. Lulu is more hound than lab when it comes to water; she would much rather howl at the other dogs than swim. Sofie would swim around all day if I let her – but then I would never get that fur dry.

Mini Cooper really likes when Louise plays with her squeaky yellow Peep. So much so that she has crawled up really close from behind and actually tried to interact with Lu to get at it. I couldn’t catch that picture because I was too busy watching that Lu didn’t take a bite out of the kitten. Then Mini jumped up on the chair and tried from a different angle. The fact that Louise reached out and nudged her gently, nose to nose, blew me away. There is something special about Mini that the dogs really like. Louise did lie on the peep and make sure that Mini understood it was hers though. “It is my Peep, Mini Cooper! Keep your cat paws off it!”
Oh, you were wondering where Sofie, the butt-in-ski, was during all this? Right behind Louise. But the energy made her anxious, so she was nibbling on the end of the dog bed as she does when she gets stressed. I love Louise’s splayed out legs to guard her squeaker. There is always mischief at the zoo.

Harold and Maude, or maybe some of their children, have returned for the 13th year in a row to the front pine trees. We always have at least one pair that nests in the yard each year, even with the crazy dogs. Welcome back little duckies! Now run for your lives because the dogs are coming out!

Mommy and Peanut went to NY to visit the family over the holiday weekend. They got to spend time with all the little and big humans and, of course, all our extended zoo family. Jazmine, who has lived with Aunt B since 2009, always loves to sit on Mom’s suitcase the minute she puts it down. Mom and V rehomed Jazz from one of V’s co-workers when she was still young and drove her north to join Aunt B. She is the purrfect animal mate for Aunt B because she is quiet and gets into almost no trouble (unless you consider that she broke a lovely serving dish on the server when she tried to jump up into the window before dinner. Since nothing is normally on the server and she always goes into that window, it really wasn’t her fault.) Isn’t she a beauty!
Boots is Mom’s gorgeous tuxedo grand-nephew kitty. He is about 9 or 10 (time flies – are the kids married that long?). He is a big sweet boy and seems to be doing well with the human grand-nieces (4 and 1 1/2). His brother Smudge did not come out for a photo op.
Snickers, the doodle service dog, belongs to Aunt J. She is Aunt B’s best friend, and though not family by blood, she is family just the same. Aunt J lived down the block when Mom and Aunt B were growing up and has always been with us. Sadly, Aunt J has the terrible disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Snickers is her second service dog. This is the first time we met him since they live in Florida. He comes from a group called My Angel With Paws. Service dogs make a huge difference in the life of people with limited mobility (not just blindness). What a sweet boy he is.
Mom always sends us to Sonya’s for our own vacation whenever she is not home. She says that we would not like long trips in the car or meeting other family members since we are so reactive. Best for us to meet them in pictures.

It feels great to lie out in the back in the spring sun. The big tree is starting to bloom. Mom lets us stay out for a little while now that it is warming up and not raining or snowing all the time. We can’t stay out too long because we start to excavate the yard if no one is with us. I think that is very helpful for the gardening that they are going to start very soon, but V gets mad and calls us a nuisance. And Mom doesn’t like to have to always wash us down because we are full of brown stuff (I think it is called MUD). I just love to get toasty warm. Happy spring – finally! – Louise (aka Lulu Belle)

We had such fun with these squeaky Peeps that Mom bought us. Sofie had a blue rabbit and I had a pink chick. They are so much fun to pull all the stuffing out of. That is what they are for, right? – Louise (aka Lulu Belle the Peep Destroyer)

“Hey Sofie, let’s walk around and see if there are any heron hiding down on the other side of the point.”
“Wow Louise. That water is sure looking blue.”
We are excited about SPRING!!!! The ice has melted on the river. The osprey have built their nest. So why is Mom saying it is going to snow again next week? You must be wrong Mom. We are ready to chase ducks. Bring on the ducklings!
