7.26.13 Follow Up Friday: Pools, Windows, and Happiness
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).
We are busier now then we ever were when Mom was working full-time. How can that be? So many things going on. Caturday we were thinking about Cuddles. She only liked V and was a real one person cat. But, for V she was a cuddler. We don’t have any cuddle cats now. 😦
Black and White Sunday was a sad sight of the dogs wishing for a swim in the pool. So I went and bought them one, which they snubbed immediately. No! They only want to swim in the big pool with the humans. They can’t come in for multiple reasons, but the biggest being that we have a liner that would tear from their claws. Liner pools are delicate that way. Plus, I really don’t want all that hair in the filter.

Monday’s Mischief was a gazillion butterflies on our Butterfly bushes. We love to watch them dance and play. Luckily I had already scheduled that post because we got hit with a lightning strike on Sunday night which knocked out the TV, phone, and internet. We were out of service until Tuesday afternoon, which is why I missed the usual Tuesday’s Tail Blog Hop. But Noel did manage to post a notice from my Smartphone (that social cat). All the kids, and me, were freaking because we have become so dependent on our electronics. Humbling to have to do something else besides social media or TV for a few evenings.
Baby Stella was hiding in K8’s window on Wordless Wednesday. She just loves K8 and windows and hiding. MOL.
And then finally on Thankful Thursday, I was jubalant in finding out that Sofie’s rash was not scabbies, as I feared, but a skin bacteria, due to chubby skin folds staying wet too long and growing bad stuff. I can deal with that! Now I am going to collapse by the pool until further notice (and get those dogs swimming).
Happy Sofie home from vet with her favorite toy
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

7.22.13 Monday Mischief: A Zillion Butterflies
There were literally a zillion yellow and black swallow tails on the butterfly bushes. Ok, well maybe we counted over 30. I wish I had a better camera. They must have just hatched.

This is a blog hop. I hopped it from Snoopy’s DogBlog. Check them out for more mischief.

7.21.13 Black and White Sunday: Can We Swim Too?
The girls were waiting at the top of the deck stairs while I was in the pool. These are the faces that made me go out and buy them a baby pool of their very own.
Happy Sunday! Keep Cool!

7.20.13 Caturday: Remembering Cuddles
Cuddles
Remembering Cuddles, the bedroom cat. She owned the bedroom and would swat any human that came too close to her post. I think she is gone about 3 years now. (Notice Miss Kitty attacking her tail.)
I can not imagine a life without cats. Happy Caturday.

7.19.13 Follow Up Friday: Home Is Where the Pets Are
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).
We finally arrived home after an 8 1/2 hr drive from the Carolina’s in torrential rain. It wasn’t fun.
We started our blog week back with a picture K8 took of the alligator behind our rental on our last morning in Sunset Beach, North Carolina. He was perfect for Mischief Monday, don’t you think?
By Tuesday we were settling back into the home and blog routine and we featured a lovely senior, named Steven, on Tuesday’s Tail Adoption Blog Hop
Louise was so excited to see me when I returned home (they were on vacation at Sonya’s) that she scratched the heck out of my leg. Ouch! She did not mean it, but those lab talons are wicked sharp.
Before we left I had noticed that Louise was licking herself a lot. Sonya, the most wonderful dog sitter in the world, called me while we were away to let me know that Louise had a cut in a very uncomfortable spot. Well, when I got home, it did not look good, so… off we went to Dr. Kate. Louise was not happy. Now she is on antibotics and is suppose to wear the cone of shame, but, I am keeping her with me and monitoring her licking, so that she does not have to go through the same humiliation that her silly little sister, Sofie, just finished going through last month. Sofie, of course, would not stop licking, Louise, is a good listener.
On Wordless Wednesday, Noel was wondering what special presents I brought from the beach. I did give her a shell, but she just ignored it. At least she did not scratch me. Nine is terrorizing her and even Stella seems to be getting into the act. What I don’t understand is why she doesn’t just sit on both those little cats and crush them, but she doesn’t. Ah, the life of an Alpha.
Finally on Thankful Thursday, I was able to thank Magdalena Vandenberg for giving me the wonderful Very Inspiring Blogger Award. I received it when I was away. What a nice return present.
It has been hotter than an oven since we returned so I am going out today to get the dogs a baby pool. We all need to cool off in the DOG DAZ (days) of summer.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

3. State 7 things about yourself
♥ My dogs get away with much more than I should let them. But they know that.
