Mom said that the kids are coming over for lunch today (to Mom they will always be kids, but to us, they are big humans). We are waiting by the open door on the steps to greet them. Mini, the other dog, likes to wait with us too. If you look all the way at the top of the stairs you will also she Noel. She is too scared to come down.
Sometimes Noel will wait at the door, but the slightest movement outside tends to scare her so she doesn’t stay long. We on the other hand, love the steps and can wait, not so patiently, for at least 5 minutes before going to do something else.
How long can you wait for something?

You smell interesting. What did you have for dinner? Can I have some? Let me sniff some more. This is my Mom and I really don’t feel like sharing her lap with you. But maybe. You do smell good.

Dear Noel, My human tends to forget about keeping my kibble bowl filled to the brim at all times of the day the way I like it. She tends to give me a few kibbles here and there when she wants, not when I want. How do I get her to listen to my needs? – Please help – Frustrated in Philidelphia
Dear Frustrated, I get you! I have the same problem at my house. What I do is get in my human’s face and complain and complain until they have no alternative but to feed me again and again and again. I know that it is really hard to train them, but we must be consistent in our barrage of meows and destruction. Sooner or later they will learn. Best of luck. Noel, the Queen who knows all.
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Just a normal afternoon of preening and rolling. These two have become best friends and you find them together a great deal of the time. Mini Cooper has always been the other dog anyway. She is the only cat we have ever had that meets everyone at the door and runs with the dogs (instead of running away from them). It is awesome when life at the zoo just happens uneventfully.
Hope your Wednesday is wonderful too. What’s your normal?

Yard security 2023 – Charles and Jolie
Yard Security 2014 – Sofie and Louise
Yard Security 2010 – Squash E Bear and Louise
I noticed that as the security guards we hire get smaller in size, they have a lot more yard to cover. They appear to get further and further from the big tree so that they can see what is happening. It looks to me like Charles and Jolie have worked out their parameter strategies. I must say that Jolie is very fast whenever a squirrel touches down.
I don’t know who I am more afraid of, the 2 ankle biters or the big 100 lb ball of fluff. Squash never barked unless he really meant it (and what a bark it was) vs the littles who never stop yapping.

I sit in my recliner mostly these nights. Mini loves to sit on my lap. As a matter of fact, she requests a certain blanket on my lap so that she can be more comfortable.
Noel does not like to sit on anyone’s lap. However, she wants my attention. And, she wants all my attention on her. So she gets on the table next to the recliner and she paws at me constantly. She meows at me and then paws some more. She did once actually jump on my lap for a second to wake me up because I was not paying enough attention. But, it was only for a second. She did not stay.
Mini demands the lap. And this is why you cannot have more animals than you have hands. One for each.
Of course, there was that time when Jolie decided she also wanted my lap (usually she is on Louise’s bed on the floor sleeping or begging for food over by V).
Now that was interesting with 3 of them.
(Mini won, btw. Jolie left and Noel got confused so she ran down the hall to my office.)

Noel’s unrequested assistance on certain tasks in the office is starting to get out of hand.
And, the boss found her sleeping on the job, AGAIN!

We got haircuts and no matter how hard Mom tried, we did not want her to take a good picture of the 2 of us.
Here is the best we let her get. She says we look so pretty.
Do you like to go to the groomer?
