Louise hates rain. Sometimes I take her out the garage door instead of on to the deck because that goes directly out onto grass so that she thinks she is not getting as wet. In every life, a little rain must fall.
Have a sunny Black and White Sunday!

Mr. DeVille, I am ready for my close up!
Thanks, Peanut for such great shots.

Charles here. Mom didn’t realize when she bought this toy for me that it looked like something that is deadly and scary. People told her to return it, but she wanted to teach me how to play with a food ball and it seemed like a good toy to do it with. Louise and Sofie love their food toys, but I don’t get what I am supposed to do.
By George, I think this corona looking toy has helped me figure out the game.
It is not so scary after all.
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

Somedays that bright sunshine comes through the big window and it makes me feel so warm and cozy.
I like the sun, but I don’t like spring. It makes me sneeze and it makes my eyes run.
I like the flowers, though. They are really fun to walk through. And I like the sun.
What part of spring do you like?

Ok. I have about had it with Mr. Charles and his constant complaining that he does not get enough food! Charlie eats in a pen because he and Sofie are both food aggressive and she would kill him. So he has learned that the pen = food (my first mistake).
The dogs eat around 4:30 PM and then usually I go about getting my own meal prepared. Before Charles came to live with us (about 3 1/2 years ago), I gave Louise and Sofie a snack around 8:30 PM in their food toys to keep them busy for 30 minutes.

But Charles, who does not understand any food toy that I have given him (not sure if he is lazy or just plain goofy) has started to demand bark (you little dog people know what I mean) for a 2d supper about 10 minutes after the first. So now the 8:30 snack happens at about 6 PM. (My second mistake).
Charles has decided that anytime I sit down, whether at the kitchen table or in the living room, that must mean it is snack time.
Oh my dog!!! I have created a monster. Hence the picture of the unhappy Charlie who jumps in his pen and pines, mopes, and then YIPS! Hard to ignore, though I do try.
Do you get Second Supper?

(This is a visit to the 1st Caturday post which was on Dec 1, 2012. Muffin was such a great cat. The funny thing about this collage is that several years after this post one of the kids told me that the picture in the lower-left corner was kitten Nine in his first year with us not ‘The Muffin Man’ (aka Muffy).. Oh well, Loved my Muffy!)
They say that cats sleep about 18 hours of the day but Muffy probably sleeps 23. Now that is a job that I would like to have. We were trying to create a counting book with Muffin and the snowball pillows one season (here is Muffin with 3 and Muffin with 4), but I ran out of snowballs. The cats you may not recognize with him in some of the pictures are: on the left, Gertrude, she passed in 2007 and on the right, Zachary, who passed in 2010. Muffy had this thing about sleeping in my pocketbooks: that could not be comfortable. Those cats sure love FISH TV in our zoo.

We all have to share everything at the Zoo. Mom does not like possessiveness or growling. Most of the time the little guy takes the toys and lies on them. But sometimes, Miss Louise, in all her patience and general niceness, has had enough and takes back what is hers (she was first dog in this current pack). All in a day’s fun.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.
