Something about a curtain, any curtain, makes a cat want to lay under.

DogDaz Zoo: Fluttering South for the Winter
It is autumn now so the Monarch butterflies are passing through, maybe they’ll go all the way to Mexico. The Swallowtails will stay right here and another cycle of fluttering will start again in the spring. If you want to know where my eastern butterflies go in the winter -> click here. We love the ‘flutterbys’ and plant so that they will come and stay. The pool is surrounded by butterfly bushes (buddleia) and we have sedum and butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa), a form of milkweed. Monarch caterpillars ONLY eat milkweed. In fact, the monarch butterfly is also known as the “milkweed butterfly.” The milkweed plant provides all the nourishment the monarch needs to transform the Monarch caterpillar into the adult butterfly.
Hello, Autumn. See you next year, Flutterbys!

Wordless Wednesday: Kissing Summer Good Bye
Tomorrow (September 22) at 10:21 am EDT it will officially be Autumn for us (the Autumnal Equinox). How can that have happened already? Wasn’t it just spring? There is nothing more incredible than the changing of the seasons. Mom loves autumn best of all. She loves the crisper days, and the fall tones of orange, yellow, brown and red. As the plants end their growth cycles and creatures go south or under ground, it makes us aware of the renewal that will come on the other side of winter. Sofie and I are both born in fall. Maybe that is why Mom loves this season so much? I was born on Halloween and Sofie on Thanksgiving (or at least that is what Mom tells us). As we kiss summer good bye, we say thank you to the earth for the wonderful colors, warm waters, butterflies and birds. Bye Bye, Summer. – Love, Louise
Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Monday Mischief: The Alphabet Game
Mom thinks that we are always spelling out words.
We don’t know how to spell, Mom! You are silly.
What mischief did you get into today?

Caturday: R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
Noel is the oldest feline at the Zoo (9 1/2). Mini Cooper is the youngest (2).
There does not appear to be any respect for elders in the window today.
(I bet you are singing this song in your head right now, aren’t you?)
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Monday Mischief: Ruffus
We can’t remember if we ever introduced you to Mom’s pool dog, Ruffus? Ru lives in the pool and doesn’t eat much or need walks. He just likes to float. Mom is closing the pool today for the winter, so Ruffus is going to be a flat dog for a while and live in a crate in the garage. Boy, I am glad that I am not a pool dog. I hate my crate. – Sofie Bear

Black and White Sunday: Infrared & Rememberance
Instead of Louise in black and white, I chose the infrared filter. I really like how the grass and buddleia turned white/gray.

Thank you to all those who are trying to put the world back together again

There are really no words that can describe the horror of this event. Since I live in the Washington DC area, and come from New York, these attacks effected so many people that I know. From my cousins who were first responders at the Pentagon, my friend working inside the Pentagon when it was hit and survived, my family and friends working in Manhattan at the time of the attack, my colleague on the plane that went down in Pennsylvania and the one that perished in the second tower, I will never forget you. This is just so wrong. Yet, people around the world live with this terror everyday of their lives. I pray everyday for an end to this violence. This is not the answer to anything. But those of you reading this know that. Light a candle with me and maybe together our collective energy will do some good. Peace be with you. – Lorian
Caturday: I Love Paper!
Noel has this thing for shucking on paper. When you go to take a tissue from the box, or a napkin from the table, you may find the edges twirled with spit, or chewed off all together. At holiday time, we have to hide the wrapping paper.
Peanut says that if Noel were a person, she would have the disorder called: Pica. That is the persistent eating of substances such as dirt or paint that have no nutritional value. Actually, that may describe most of my animals, but Noel is really into paper.
Do your furries eat stuff like this?
