Monday Mischief: Remembering Past Mischief

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!

Black and White Sunday: Contemplating Adventure

IMG_1898-1

If I go back in the archives I am sure that I will find a picture of every cat that has lived at the zoo on this table.

.  Here is the beautiful, mischievous, Mini Cooper.  She is growing like a weed.

 I am sure she is getting ready to attack a lady bug or jump on Nine.  She has turned into a real love.

Happy Sunday!

Caturday: SNoel

Noel Snow

This was last year, but it is so cold today that we are all getting ready.

Noel has started sleeping on the heat register on the kitchen floor. That is a new place for her.  Funny how it took her 7 years to discover it.  She sure is glad she found it now.  It is so cold and drafty in this house, you would think we live in a barn.

Meow Out Loud!

I can not imagine a life without cats!

Monday Mischief: Fall Fields

MM101014.jpg

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

Black and White Sunday: Snoozing With Mello Yello

11.9.14

Mello Yello is, or was, an AirDog toy.  Over the years the girls have chewed off most of the yellow skin and the rubber is missing on one of the spokes.  But, Sofie loves to carry it around, and Lulu still plays tug with me (I hold what is left of some fabric).  After peanut butter filled marrow bones one evening (a favorite at the Zoo), Sofie stole Louise’s finished bone, took Mello, and fell fast asleep in the living room.  I love when she is content and you can see the little smile on her.  Don’t you always wonder what they are dreaming?

Happy Sunday!

Caturday: Stella’s Not THE Baby Anymore

Caturday 11.8.14

Mini Cooper – November 2014 – Ruling the Roost

 

When you are a kitten, especially at DogDazCats2 Zoo, you are the center of the world.  Mini Cooper clearly owns the house and our hearts,  This is, however, a little bit to the dismay of Noel and Stella.  Nine, on the other hand, really is having fun playing with her (at last someone as crazy as him).  I think Stella, who was the baby until now and is very shy, does not appreciate the intrusion of this little thing.  You see, Stella is the one that is the most displaced in the house by the new arrival. Mini Cooper has taken over the kitten room, and Stella, though 3 years old, still liked to have her meals in there until now (“I want to eat alone,” she’d say).

So to try and keep peace at the Zoo, I made an agreement with Stella for her to take her meals in the bathtub in the downstairs bathroom.  This is a special place, because now that it is cold outside, all the big outdoor plants are wintering over in the big bathtub: it is her personal little jungle.  Sometimes Stella still runs down the hall at dinner time to the kitten room but then she realizes that is Mini’s space now and she proceeds to go downstairs to the bathroom jungle.  My Baby Stella is growing up!
