So glad you are joining me today for the Dogs N Pawz Blog Hop called Tuesday’s Tails! New posts go up on Tuesday but you can link up and post when you want all week-long. The whole purpose is to feature cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, etc. so when you link up is up to you! Even pets from PetFinder, are fine. Let’s just get them all homes!
Dogs N Pawz said “I also want to encourage all of you to share each other’s Tuesday’s Tails posts on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and whatever other social media channels you use. The more we share the more likely we are to get the word out!”

Every dog deserves a home. Thanks for helping us find them families.

Sofie is so excited that Peanut is home from school in Israel (that was a long year) and back where she is supposed to be, in her room with the big bed that the dogs love to jump on. Peanut captured Sofie being, well…. Sofie. We are all really happy when our cubs come home, even if it is only until they go back out in the big world again in the fall. Sometimes I think the animals are happier than me that she is here – no way!

What mischief are you getting into today?

She was anything but cuddly. A seriously grouchy girl but she loved french fries. Meow Out Loud!

Jacobi and Lucy are both located in Maryland.

Every animal deserves to live with dignity! Let’s get them out of shelters and into homes!
Update on Madge (from last week): Thanks to all you wonderful followers she has found a new foster and is doing well. You are the power of social media and make a world of difference to the voiceless. Madge will be transported up to New York next week to her forever family. She looks like one happy, lucky girl! Thank you all soooooo much.

It always blows me away that the animals think if their heads are under something, they are invisible. Peek-a-boo, I-see-you, Noel! She is a big one for the “hiding in plain sight” trick. And lately, no matter where she is hiding, she always seems to have her paw hanging out. Meow Out Loud. MOL.

This is Noel and Miss Constance Kitty (Connie) when they were kittens in 2008. Connie is gone for several years, but Noel is Queen of the Zoo. We have shared our lives with so many animals over the years. Connie had a good sense of humor for a cat. I don’t think Noel finds much funny, she is a very serious sort. I miss all my animals at different times for different reasons. They all are pieces of my heart. I am so lucky to be able to share my world with them.

We are thankful to receive a lovely Liebster Award from DoggyMom.com

We love making new blog friends and really appreciate when someone reaches out and touches us. Though this award is for new blogs, and we are old and have lots of great fans, we appreciate being honored.
Doggy Mom is Kathleen Crisley, Principal and Owner of Canine Catering Ltd in Christchurch New Zealand. She is currently Doggy Mom to Daisy, a Pointer who was re-homed with her in December 2003. She started making treats for her own pups and it turned into her passion. Thank you Kathleen and Daisy for this honor.

The award rules are as follows:
1. Thank the person who nominated you, and link back and recognize their blog in your post. DONE
2. Answer the ten questions posted by the blogger who nominated you! BELOW
3. Nominate ten other bloggers for the award. BELOW
4. Create ten questions for your nominees to answer. OH MY – THAT IS HARD – take a look at the thoughtful questions DoggieMom gave me.
5. Notify your nominees via comment.
Questions DoggyMom asked:
(My answers in Bold)
- Why did you establish your blog? Mostly this blog happened because the animals were making me laugh and I wanted to be able to show others how silly they were. After a time this became the chronicles of my many rescues: Louise (aka Lulu Belle) my
fearful shy 60 lb maybe Hound/Lab (4 1/2), Sofie Bear (3 1/2), 50 lb maybe Sheltie/ ‘stubborn’ dog mix, and the house cats: Noel (the Christmas Cat – about 7), Nine (the little Man-cat – 3) and Baby Stella (2 1/2).
- When did you start blogging? November 2011
- Approximately how many hours per week do you blog? It depends. I do at least 1 post a day (from the Zoo) which takes maybe 10 minutes (because I am saving internet images all day long from pinterest, tumblr, etc. to post later), but Saturday thru Wed, I also do a personal post about my 5, which can take 30 minutes to several hours depending on topic. I used to post twice a day, everyday, but I can’t find the time to do that anymore. So…. I would say 4+ hours a weeks.
- If you had one thing to do differently with your blog, what would it be? I would have monetized it from the start so that all this work could buy more dog cookies.
- What’s one of your favourite blogs (other than your own)? BumpyRoadtoBubba, Cupcake Speaks, Speedy Rabbit, Easy, Emma, My Three Moogies, GuineaPigSqueak, there are just so many that I love every week.
- What makes that blog one of your favourites? Each and every blogger puts there special voice into the world. They have been a wonderful community of virtual friends that care about what they are saying and why they are saying it.
- Since we can’t spend all of our time online, what book are you currently reading? The DoveKeepers
- Which do you prefer – pure bred or mixed breed? If you mean pet, I prefer RESCUE, I am not a breedist, I love them regardless of sire.
- Do you consider yourself a dog parent or dog owner? Well, since I adopted them, I guess I am their parent, but legally, I am their owner. I would have to say they own me, more than I own them. Bark Out Loud (BOL)
- Would you rather do a Crossword or a Suduku? Absolutely Crossword. Though I can do the math thing, but don’t enjoy it as much.
- When the weather turns cold, does your dog wear a coat? Louise wears sweaters because she has such think fur, Sofie, only when it is frigid (more for me than her, I think).
Doggie Mom – here is a DogDaz Pick of the Litter Award for you, for being so nice. – DogDaz
