A cat’s life is just so purrfect. Sleep 18 to 20 hours of the day and eat or bathe the rest of the time. I have said it before and I will say it again, I want to come back as Noel.

Wonderful Wednesday: Meet Lavendar
Baby Lavender
Lavee & Bro Glitch
You might recall that my daughter, Peanut, has a smokey gray cat with Cerebral Hyperplasia (CH), named Glitch. He is now 2 years old. Well, Peanut now lives with ‘AA’ who has a cat named Eevee; he’s a wonderful Maine Coon mix who is also about 2. Glitch and Eevee just instantly loved each other. What an odd thing. I have never seen two cats become best friends within 10 days of meeting each other.
Then, Peanut and AA added a 2 lb bundle of mischief, named Lavender. She is of course pushing her two big brothers around. What a trio these three grand cats make. I can’t wait to see their future adventures. Eevee was giving Lavender a bath and then fell asleep on her. Too funny.

Wonderful Wednesday: Day 34
I must say that I have the best fur-nurses that anyone could ask for and a really good human one too. Please take care of your knees because replacing one is not a fun experience. They say that total knee replacement is one of the hardest surgery recoveries and I will agree with that. Mini Cooper and Jolie were very careful when on my lap but they always want to be ‘on’ me (even now while I am typing this from my recliner).
I am by no means done with healing, it takes months to a year, but now that I can walk almost a block with my cane outside, I am hoping this month to get back to a short Jolie walk. Let me get a full block first (and clearance from my Physical Therapist).
I plan to keep my once-a-week-only posts going because I am still very tired, but hope to return to my full-time work next week if all goes well.
Thanks for your good wishes and for staying with us during these DogDaz changes.

Monday Mischief: LTKR
Did we tell you that on Thursday, Mom is getting a totally new left knee? Not just part of her knee, the whole freakin’ thing. She doesn’t know when she will be ready to start blogging about our adventures again, but worse, when will she get down on the floor and play with us? Her goal is to start walking Jolie again by summer. That would be awesome we think.
Charlie doesn’t go for walks anymore because of his heart, but he can at least come to the stop sign on the corner when Mom is ready. Until then, Mom is going to post some memories on Wednesdays for you to enjoy. Hopefully, you will see us back on the internet real soon.
Stay well and keep getting into good trouble
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

Caturday: The Carrier
I can’t even begin to understand sleeping cats.
When I took Noel to the vet the other day, I left the cat carrier in the hall with its blanket.
Mini decided it was the purrfect place to take a nap.
Actually, it was days (maybe weeks) before I was able to steal the carrier away to stow it in the attic.
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Monday Mischief: Whine Whine Whine
Hey Charles, do you want a little WHINE with that cheese?
{Turn up your sound}
All he does now is whine and bark and make a fuss. Crazy old man!
Watch Jolie during all this. Sometimes it gets too much for her and she trots into the other room and goes into her kennel to get away for him.
We love you to the ends of the earth, Charlie, but really can you stop!

Black and White Sunday: The Take Over
So where is Mommy supposed to go when she wants to go to sleep?
See that dog blanket on the other side? That is for you, Dogs!
Happy Black and White Sunday

Wonderful Wednesday: When is it too hot to go outside?
Jolie has a lovely neighborhood young lady who walks her during the week. The other day, however, we broke heat records for April here in Annapolis. When walking your dog you need to be very aware of the outside temperature. Little and really big dogs can overheat very quickly. Heat stroke is a real thing and should be avoided at all costs.
I use the 5-second ground test before walking: I place my hand on the pavement for 5 seconds, and if it is too hot for my hand then it is definitely too hot for a paw.
Also, you need to apply this temperature warning before taking your pets in the car. Even with the windows open a car can heat up or freeze very fast. If it is over 70 or under 40 degrees, leave them at home.
Spring is an awesome time to play in the fields and take nice walks. Keep everyone COOL!
