Remember the online auction that Savannah helped Mollie & Alfie with for her very sick foster kitty, Leo. We bid on some cool Gratitude Dog Rocks and won. The real winner is Leo, though, with help to pay the vet bills. Leo has Hepatic Lipidosis disease.
Funny to win dog stones to help a cat, but it worked for me. I am thankful for all the blogfriends who do great charity to help the little creatures. And a special thank you to Linda and Hubby for taking good care of their foster, Leo.

I love to travel and last week someone ordered the most incredible Irish weather. Everyone was saying it never is this sunny and warm (65 degrees is hot for them). I spent the week in meetings, but the weekend I got down from Dublin to Blarney, Cork and Cobh by train and bus. Coming from the USA, which is a relatively new country compared to Ireland, I am humbled by the history. I got to kiss the magic stone in Blarney Castle (built in 1446), which is said to bestow the gift of eternal eloquence on those lucky few who do so. I wonder if that translates to blog writing too?
When I’m travelling I miss my animals a great deal after a few days. I am so used to walking dogs and feeding cats that the break in routine is weird. I prefer to have the dogs with me all the time if I could. I know you understand. I feel an absence of spirit when not surround by my furries. So, to make up for it I take pictures of animals I meet along the way (my smartphone died and would not charge this trip, so I missed many a cow, horse, sheep, and kitty, sorry.)

I meet these 2 beauties on the grounds of Blarney Castle, then on the way back to Dublin I meet the cutest little King Charles Spaniel on the train.

I love to travel but I love to come home. There are always the best dog kisses waiting for me from Louise and Sofie.

All this blogging has exhausted me. I just can’t keep up with this daily publishing schedule that Mom set up. I don’t know how she does 2 posts a day, but I am glad she will be home tonight to take it back over. It’s been fun but I hope she doesn’t make me do it again any time soon. Thanks for staying with me. I promised Mom I would keep going, so do let her know if you think I did a good job. Now, I think I am going to sleep ‘until the cat Mom comes home.’

Sofie: Do you see her yet, Lu? Do you? Do you?
Loise: Sorry Sofie, but Mom is still not coming home for a couple of days, we just have to wait.
Sofie: But, I need her here now! Today! I am tired of waiting! (whine whine whine)
Louise: I know Sofie, but we created this nice little dirt circle to wait in under the cherry tree. Mom will be happy we are staying cool.
Happy Sunday!

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).
Noel, the Christmas Cat here. I have been in charge of the blog all week while Mommy is over in Ireland on business. I wish she would come home already, because this is really hard work and I might break a nail, but I understand that she is still going to be gone awhile longer. Personally, I think I did an outstanding job this week and I hope that she brings me something really really special, like an Irish mouse.
This week I starred on Caturday, but had to give up my spot to Lulu Belle, the bigger dog, on Black and White Sunday. That is OK because she is the black to my white – though I don’t like any of those smelly go-outsiders.
Monday Mischief included silly Nine boy chasing light dots up the wall. He is a crazy kitten, I would not be caught dead chasing light dots (but maybe a laser thingy). Mommy had a laser thing once, but she left it on the coffee table and it disappeared. I assume Nine has it stashed under the couch with a lot of other toys of his.
We were forced did our charitable part to show some pretty birdies and bunnies that need homes on Tuesday’s Tail. I would prefer to eat birds, but I guess everyone needs a home.

Taking over Mom’s chair
Wordless Wednesday left me sad because Sofie misses Mommy sooooo much. She was moping on the dog bed with a catnip toy, which she loves to suck on. It comforts her, I guess. And why not, it is full of catnip, which is a wonderful tea. I miss Mommy too. No one has been in her office all week, which forces me to come out into the living room to meow at the other humans while they watch TV. I have to walk all the way down the hall to do that – OMC! (On My Cat!) Those other humans are not the same as Mommy. I want catnip too!!!!!
If you made it all the way to Thankful Thursday, then you know the DogDaz Zoo thanked YOU – yes you – for following us and coming back even when we are silly and don’t have much to say in the blog. We are grateful animals (especially at feeding time).

That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.
