5.27.13 Monday Mischief: Uncontrollable Urges
On Black and White Sunday yesterday, I showed you the lovely little duck family taking their first float on the river. When we got to the dock the dogs were beside themselves wanting to spoil the idealic moment. They ran from dock to dock and I had to stop them several times from jumping in. Then Louise ran down the boat ramp and Sofie followed, and I had all I could do to stop them from swimming any further out. I do not know what they would do to the ducklings, but I do not want to find out. Then of course, as we walk up the hill to the house, at the corner, in the middle of the road, are Harold and Maude, the male and female pair that happen to be living under a bush by the house. Sofie was beside herself again. But at least the big one’s can fly. Though usually they fly right into my back yard pool. But that is for another post.
I did not get a picture of them swimming because I was to busy yelling at them too come back!
(No ducks or dogs were harmed in this adventure.)

Memorial Day ’13: Soldier Dogs: The 4-Legged Heros
For the United States Memorial Day today, I am reposting this story from 2012 on Soldier Dogs .
These are some of my favorite images from the new book Soldier Dogs. There are more pictures in our slideshow today.
Military Working Dogs play a crucial part in America’s armed services. The best known “Soldier Dog,” Cairo, put crucial canine skills to work in the SEAL Team Six operation that killed Osama Bin Laden. Other Military Working Dogs serve as everything from bomb sniffers to troop companions to search and rescue dogs (and also serve in darker roles, such as duty at Guantanamo Bay). Their handlers and trainers, devoted dog lovers down to a man, form an unusually close-knit fraternity within the military.

Dog are not only our best friends, they are an incredible asset to our safety forces. Thank you to all the handlers and animals that keep us safe around the world. – DogDaz
5.26.13 Black and White Sunday: First Float
Sunday Morning Swim
The first float for the duck family. This is the real overcast color that day (so it is not really a black and white photo), but it looked so close to a B&W and it was too cute not to publish. Come back tomorrow when I show you who is standing only a few feet away trying desperately to spoil the fun.
I count 8 ducklings – how many do you count?
Happy Sunday!

5.24.13 Follow Up Friday: FlatDogs, LovingCats, & Helping Friends
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).
I got home Saturday with Peanut from college. She is now home for the summer. The animals were so happy to see her. Now we are back to life as normal (is there such a thing?) at the zoo.
Blogfriends thought that the Sunday Flat Dogs were very cute, and flat. Now that it is getting hot and muggy out the dogs seem to be getting flatter and flatter.
Stella is so in love with K8 and she never leaves her alone, as you saw on Monday Mischief. She hides in K8’s room almost all the time and waits for her to come home from work to play, play, play. It is hard being the youngest in a big family. I understand Stella, I’m the baby too.
Stella loves K8 (and k8’s bed)
Sofie thought it was pretty funny that everyone wanted to give her boxes and boxes of cookies when she was begging on Wordless Wednesday. Animals have this pleading way of getting anything they want from us weak humans who love them.
On Thankful Thursday we acknowledged Miss Harper Lee for blessing us with the Sweetest Blog Award, and we passed it on to some really sweet blogfriends. I love getting awards but it is so hard to figure out how to only bestow them on a dozen or so. When I was making the baker’s dozen list, I had over 40 names. Always hard to choose. But it was fun to have a food fight with everyone. Here’s a cupcake in your eye!
This week Savannah helped her friends Mollie & Alfie hold an auction for a very sick foster kitty, Leo. We bid on some cool stones and won. But really the winner will be Leo when his vet bills are paid, We do hope you get better and start eating on your own soon Leo. Leo has Hepatic Lipidosis disease. Click HERE to find out more about this illness in cats. Who knew that it was so common. The zoo is sending a lot of healing energy to you Leo.
You can help Leo too (if you are in the USA) – bu donating to …Contra Costa Humane Society Donate page CLICK HERE…when you see this option…
“Please select the program or fundraiser to which your donation should be applied”
..scroll the “options” and click “Leo’s Medical Care”…CCHS is a 501 3c organization in the USA and all USA donations will be tax deductible when submitted through here.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

5.23.13 Thankful Thursday: Miss Harper Lee
Last week I was honored by Miss Harper Lee of thek9harperlee, with a wonderful Super Sweet Blogging Award. That was, should I say… super sweet of you Miss Harper Lee. Thank you very much.
Miss Harper Lee
The rules for the Super Sweet Blogging Award are simple:
- Thank the Super Sweet Blogger who nominated you. Thank you thank you thank you Miss Harper Lee
- Answer five super sweet questions. Below
- Include the Super Sweet Blogging award image in your blog post. Done.
-
Nominate a baker’s dozen bloggers (that’s 13, for those of you who don’t cook or visit the pastry shop) Below
-
Notify your nominees on their blogs. Ok, I will do my best to be timely about this.
Super Sweet Answers:
1. Cookies or Cake? It is definitely Cookies around here. Gluten and Dairy free people cookies (which actually can be very tasty, if you buy or make the right ones) and dog cookies (Sofie will only eat them if they have molasses or peanut butter in them – Lulu will eat anything). Every night before bed.
2. Chocolate or Vanilla? Though chocolate is a very nice flavor, and a great sauce over ice cream, I love vanilla. Vanilla beans, vanilla syrup, I love vanilla! My Mom used to buy vanilla syrup when I was a kid and I would put it in everything.
3. What is your favorite sweet treat? Now this is hard. I used to love M&M candies, plain or peanut. Pretty much anything M&M. But I am not allowed to eat them anymore. So, I would say my favorite sweet treat now a days is a Tofutti’s Marry Me non-dairy ice cream bars. “Find full-bodied vanilla made with organic sugar partnered with rich, deep organic chocolate coating.”
4. When do you crave sweet things the most? I always want cookies when I am having my evening tea, but I crave sweets the most when I am stressed (who doesn’t?) The animals don’t know sweet, so it is more a human thing, I think.
5. If you had a sweet nickname, what would it be? I call Lulu ‘Brownie,’ because she has these beautiful dark brown stripes under her black coat. Sofie is my ‘Gummy Bear,’ because she is so chubby cute you want to squeeze her.
Now to name the BAKER’S DOZEN NOMINEES:
I am going to start with a food fight and throw the cupcake at
