It started out with Mom and Louise on the couch watching TV. Then Sofie had to jump up and take over the arm pillow, which pushed Louise over to take over Mom’s blanket. And then… Mini Cooper joined in and got on top of the blanket making it almost impossible for Mom to watch TV because she had no room to sit. So Mom left to go do other things, which meant that Stupid and Dumbo wagged after her, quickly followed by Mischief Mini. That was purrfect for me because I then had the couch all to my self. Exactly as I planned it. – Noel, the Christmas Cat.

Did you ever notice how paws tell an interesting story. They show the wear of the asphalt and concrete streets, the hardness of time. Yet, paws are so vulnerable. The soft places where thorns and pebbles hide; where ice sticks to fur. Louise has black paws on her front legs and white and black on her rear. She has what we like to call “milky toes.” Have you ever kissed a paw? It is soft, but hard. Those of you that have done it know what I mean. The paws have it in my eyes. The perfect vehicle to carry a pooch to mischief. In these pictures I just let sleeping paws lie (get my pun?).

What mischief have your paws gotten into today?

Mini Cooper decided that Noel’s tail would be a good toy to play with while I was cooking Thanksgiving dinner.
Sometimes I think that kitten has a death wish. Actually, Noel was pretty patient with her. I am amazed how the older cats (well at least Nine and Noel) know she is a baby and tolerate crazy behavior. In a few months, they will no longer allow her to get away with things. I actually think Noel was kind of purposely playing with her. Do you think she would do that?

It may be cold but we still like to go down to the docks and chase whatever the wind blows our way. Lately the water has been really low when we get there and we can see so many interesting things. Mom won’t let us jump off and explore the bottom though, she thinks it is dangerous. It looks really cool to us. What do Mom’s know anyway!

Originally posted on 31 January 2012 at 6:01: Give it to me! It’s Mine!!!

I think it is funny how dogs want to possess everything; especially if another animal has it. Louise and Sofie only want a toy if the other is playing with it, and then….. oh my goodness, the whining that comes out of Sofie is ridiculous. I really am going to have to get a tape recorder and have you all listen because it is like the world has ended and she really is in pain. “Mommy, Louise has this…. Louise is taking the ring…. look Mommy, it’s mine… mine….MINE!” Now I can’t say that Lulu is much better because just when things calm down she goes and steals something from Sofie’s pile. The other day I gave them both bones before I went to the store, so that they might behave for C while I was gone. Well I came home to find that one bone was played with while the other was almost perfect.

They only want what the other has. I never know if I should buy two of the same bones or toys, or just one. They both play with the same one until it is destroyed, eaten, or taken away by me, so why bother getting two. Currently, their favorite backyard toy (which actually I think has sneaked into the house, because I just put it in the toy bin (come to think of it)), is a destroyed soft frisbee that Mojo’s humans were going to throw out because he had eaten out the center. Well, not only do they love it, but it also has become a favorite of Miss Kitty. Kitty likes to roll on top of it and cover it with her fluffy body. She thinks that Sofie can’t see her hiding it. You can imaging the pandemonium that ensues when Sofie realizes that Kitty is trying to pull a fast one on her.

Another interesting dynamic is that Lulu likes me to pull the rings and gets really ticked off when Sofie hones in on the play. So I got a three ring pull, but they both want to tug on the same ring. Hummmm…. very interesting.
One of my greatest pleasures is watching my two goofballs play. They are silly and funny and just make me stop for a minute in my busy day and remember what is important. Now don’t go telling them the truth – all the toys really are mine!

We love to run in the field on a lovely fall day. We have to wait until all the kids are gone from the school yard, but then… it is all ours. Just Sofie and me (and Mom, of course). – Louise

In the United States yesterday we entered our winter time change by rolling back the clock 1 hour. “Fall back, spring forward.” Since Mommy walks us when she gets home from the office, many days it will be dark in the winter months. So she bought us both these reflective vest. She says “now cars can see you when we are walking.” I understand why Louise needs one because she is black, like the night, but me, that is just silly. Mommy really should have one for herself, come to think of it, because she is always dressed in black and the cars may hit her first before they ever see us. We also got to use our vests for Halloween when we dressed up as school crossing guards. My vest is kind of tight but Mommy pulls it to fit on my tummy. We are ready for walks in the daylight again and winter hasn’t even started yet. – Your reflective blond friend – Sofie Bear

The dogs will follow me up to the top of the slide platform (which surprises me), but I haven’t been able to get them to slide down with me (which doesn’t surprise me). Sofie came closer this time than ever before; she looked down the tube. I don’t think Louise will ever slide down (it is just tooo scary). They don’t like it very much when I slide down and they don’t like when I climb on anything, now that I think of it. Maybe they’re worried that if I get hurt they won’t get dinner. Very interesting, Bark Out Loud.

We spent a long time outside with Mom last weekend doing what she calls, “putting the garden to bed.” Since the garden does not seem to have a kennel that it sleeps in, we were not sure what she meant. But we helped her collect our toys from under the leafy things and chewed down lots of the grasses that were around. Lulu still likes to sun herself by the pool, even though it is closed. We love fall. There are just such wonderful smells and piles to play in.

Here is a day in the life of Mini Cooper, 3 lb warrior of the DogDaz Zoo. She is getting along with everyone really well. Sofie is still being a little over zealous with her, but she just wants to herd her around the house.
