10.2.12 New Sheriff In Town
Dogs are stupid! That’s right. You read it here on the blog! Mom should have called this blog CATdaz, not DOGdaz. Have you ever seen what those smelly creatures do? They not only like to eat dinner where we cats go to the bathroom (how gross) but they sniff each other in the rudest places. We cats would never stoop to that!
Then when Mom is not looking, they like to chase after us, when we are just walking along minding our own business, and scare us half to death thinking they are going to kill us. Sometimes, when I am comfy and cozy on the den couch (my new fav spot), the stupid blond one that they call Sooooofie, or something like that, always jumps up and tries to take my spot. The nerve of these flea bags! Since Mom put me in charge this week, I will show those mangy mutts how to be civil while she is gone. There’s a new sheriff in town so watch out! – Yours Truly – Noël

10.1.12 My Mom’s Turned Into A Cat
Peanut posted this picture of Noel on her Facebook before she left to college and the caption read: “I came home and my Mom had turned into a cat!”
It seems like all the animals love to take over my office chair (this is my nice new ergonomic one that I just got recently which has like 500 possible positions (which I do not know how to set)). When Louise was a puppy it was almost impossible to keep her out of my chair, so I had to give her one somewhere else in my office (which she is curled up in and sleeping on right now). Now the cats have taken over. Since about June, Noël doesn’t sleep in the office with me during the day anymore. For years, she slept on my desk under the window in her pink bed (you’ve seen the pictures). But this summer, she has taken to the kitchen window box or the couch in the den (next door to my office), for a more comfortable, less noisy repose I guess. I can get pretty loud on all my conference calls (or so the family tells me) and I walk around constantly (pacing) while I talk. I think it is pretty funny that when Peanut came looking for me that day and found Noël in the driver’s seat, she summed it up really well: “My Mother has turned into a Cat!” Noël wants you to know that she in charge and no one should forget that! Until I return on Friday of course. and ask nicely for my chair back.

9.30.12 Global Reach
The dogs don’t really know what worldwide reach is. Actually, they do not like to travel further than the dog park on the other side of town. But, I know what a very large world we live in. The other day I discovered another level to the statistics page of the WordPress dashboard. It showed me all the places in the world that people have looked at DogDaz blog from. I was over whelmed and over joyed. How amazing to me the internet is. That my little zoo can make it to the homes and hearts of people in so many countries. Thank you all for coming by the zoo and taking a moment of your time to check us out, and many of you for returning time and time again. Last Christmas, my daughter Peanut bought me this really cool world map that you are suppose to scratch off each country that you have been to. Those of you that have read DogDaz for a while know that I travel on business to some wonderful places, yet, there are so many more that I hope to visit someday. Though I may not physically make it around to each land, I know that virtually I have touched the people, which, in many ways, at least to me, is more important. Well, tomorrow I get on a plane once again for the week. So off I go. I am wondering what animal to leave in charge this week? Not Sofie, because all she does is whine and complain and drive everyone insane; Louise is being very anxious and prancey lately, so I worry it would be to stressful for her; Kitty is a hot mess and will just hide under the coffee table all week; Nine is a bully; Muffin can hardly make it up the steps anymore and everyone pushes him around; Stella is too young… I guess by default it comes back to Noël once again. Ok, Noey you are in charge of the blog. Do good posts. I will be watching.

9.29.12 Sofie’s Blue-disk Blues
A lonely blue dog disk, all by itself.
Sofie: “Hey guys, do you see that blue thing over there?”
Louise: “Mojo, lets play keep away from Sofie!”
Louise: “Free-for-all!!! Sofie now’s your chance to pounce!”
Mojo: “Sofie, get off me you little pest!”
Sofie: “I’ve had it with your Labs, I’m taking a nap!”

9.25.12 Breezy Point
Breezy Point was a little breezy today. Did I explain that it is called that because it is the point where the Magothy River (which is our tributary to the Chesapeake Bay) splits into 2 creeks, Divining Creek and Mill Creek. I live in the middle of the 2 creeks and the peninsula point tends to always be breezy. This is one of my favorite spots and I think it is for the dogs too. The dogs and I love to go down to the very tip of the point and watch the boats out on the river and the seabirds doing their seabird things. Lulu likes to run in the stand of bamboo which is always getting overgrown and Sofie likes to venture out on the pier and sniff for new smells (she would like to dig in the sandbox, but I do not let her).
There 
are days that I could just loose track of time watching the clouds go by but the dogs seem to have a different agenda. They need to always be moving. They want to run and find something new and exciting to do. They need to chase a squirrel or a stick or each other; not content to while away the afternoon with me just reading a book on a bench. So off we go on another adventure, somewhere, over a hill or visiting a dog friend. I guess there will be time enough, when they are older to sit and just enjoy the view (maybe), for now, we press on and go explore some other beautiful vista.
Do you have a favorite spot with your dog?

9.23.12 DogDaz on Facebook
We are so excited. Mommy was trying to find a better way to let all our friends and family on Facebook (a social media network that connects people to people and stuff like that), know what was going on at the zoo. Not everyone has the time to read the blog or the know how to even get here. So she made us our own page that we can use. If any of our blog friends want to follow us there too, we think all you have to do is press the button that Mommy but on the menu to the right —->
This is another way for us to stay connected and also to tell our stories to a wider group of friends. You don’t have to join us there, we are not leaving WordPress. We love it here. We just were playing in cyberspace and thought it might be a good way to channel a lot of the animal and nature feeds to a wider group of humans.
You know Lulu is kind of shy, and Mommy told her she needs to start making more friends, so this was what she came up with.
Let us know what you think! – Sofie Bear aka Cyber Princess
