Mojo Rising, Louise’s boyfriend the champion dock diver boy/lab next door, got a dock diving dog pool. Lulu and Sofie have never been in a pool (except the one time when Sofie was a puppy and jumped in the family pool to save Mommy from herself). They’re allowed in this pool because it is for dogs. Lulu was having no part of it, but Sofie, after a little coaching, jumped in. She freaked when she realized, unlike the river, she could not touch the bottom (it is 4 feet all around) and had to swim. Wish I could have photographed the look on her face when she first dog paddled to me with ‘Mom, how do I get out of this thing?” but I was too busy worrying about her. Once she refound the steps, which are big lab-leg height (she had to pull herself up with all her little Sheltie weight), she was fine. She jumped in again a little later for a second try.
Louise? Well, I guess she is more land hound than water lab. BOL.

Today is Follow-up Friday hosted by Jodi from Heart Like A Dog. This is where we review the week behind so that we can launch into the week ahead (or something like that)
. ———————————————————————————-
This has been a hard week in the physical world. Though Louise is tolerating the antibiotic, it is just not doing enough to stop the sores. Now we must move to the next step which is a drug called a Cyclosporin. It may or may not work, and Dr. Kate says it could take a few months to know, and it is really really expensive. Though unemployed how can I not treat her disease? This is so painful on so many levels.
Waiting for Dr. Kate
Sofie’s asthma is acting up this week, I guess because of fall. She is wheezing like crazy. Benadryl 3X a day. Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK – I am done ranting now. Thanks for letting me vent.
——————————————————-
Let’s ignore reality and look at the blog world, which is much more fun:
Caturday, I finally was able to show you some of the millions of cat pictures that Peanut has been sending me from school in Israel. She is in love with every one of them. I told her that we have 3 kitties already and live an eleven hour flight away, so don’t get attached (mean Mommy that I am.)
Black and White Sunday was a happy moment with the doggies, with my smiling Sofie. Even Lulu is smiling in the background. I love when my animals smile, I am not sure why but it just makes me feel like I am doing something right.
Monday was the Labor Day holiday and we focused on our animal heros.
We highlighted the cutest 9 year old doggie named Champ on Tuesday’s Tails. I do hope some one takes him soon.
Miss Smiley Sofie was back on Wordless Wednesday, hiding in the bushes. How can you not smile when you see that face.
And, Thankful Thursday gave us pause to thank the universe for the wonders of fall.
I know that everyday is a gift, and no matter what the wind blows in, if we handle it together, we will be ok.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others. Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤

Peanut has been sending me endless picture of the cats that are all around her at school. She says that Israel has millions of street cats and that they are mostly well taken care of. These are some that inhabit the student village where she lives. They try to come up in the elevator to her dorm room but she says then they never want to leave.
I can not imagine a life without cats. Happy Caturday.

Today is Follow-up Friday hosted by Jodi from Heart Like A Dog. This is where we review the week behind so that we can launch into the week ahead (or something like that).
Louise appears to be doing well on her medicine. I told you about her PeriAnal Fistular Disease on Monday. It was kind of a shock, but she is doing well so far and some of the sores seem to be healing. She likes that I give her a meatball of dog food at meal time (with her smelly pills hidden in them). Even Sofie benefits from the extra yummy. They do love their meatballs. I am also adding canned veggies, like carrots and green beans, to give added roughage to the digestive system. Time will tell.
Thank you all for sending your prayers. I truly believe that your healing energy, even through cyberspace, will give her a better chance of making it through. And several of you mentioned holistic medicine, and I need to study up on what might help with this particular autoimmune disease.
Thank you all so much! Here she is taking a nap on K8’s bed.
My local shelter is starting to do these cool collages of their animals and I posted one of senior cates on Tuesday’s Tails. The shelter is full, so they really need people to be adopting. I wish I had the room and money to take them all home forever.
Louise and I were having fun on the front steps on Wordless Wednesday. She is always in my face, especially when I am sitting on the steps or the ground. Sometimes I think she just wants to crawl inside me. I really like the one picture that pointed up at the house shingles; they make this cool stripe pattern, don’t you think?
Thankful Thursday was all about the people that are fighting for animal rights and animal welfare. I posted a quote that Peanut sent me (my Vegan PETA child). It hit home because I know that I want to shut off the pictures of abused animals that come into my reader because they upset me, but what I have to do is stop the violence, and only then will the pictures finally stop.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.
