DogDaz_Cats2: Mini Turns 12

Thankful Thursday: Mini Turns 10 Mini Cooper hasn’t changed much in 2 years. She is still chatty and cuddly. Well, maybe she’s a bit ornery at times. Happy 12th bday! We all love you (especially Bearnard). Just another CatDaz morning at the DogDaz Zoo.

DogDaz Zoo: The High Ground

Bearnard: “PoleCat… we’ve discussed this. If Mom catches you on the good pillows again, none of us are getting treats.” Jolie: “Stay very still. Maybe she’ll think you’re decorative.” PoleCat stuffy: “I regret nothing. I have claimed the high ground.” Bearnard: “Honestly, your survival instincts are terrible.” Jolie: “Shhh. Mom’s not feeling good. We’re on cuddle duty.” PoleCat: “Then I shall…

DogDaz Waits

The house has been extra quiet today. Jolie, Bearnard, and their beloved stuffy, PoleCat, have a whole lot of waiting for Mom to feel better. 🐾 Mom got a new left hip on Tuesday. PoleCat, a stuffy who looks like a cat on a pole body, has been guarding carefully. The couch patrol has been constant, and every little sound gets hopeful ears perked up. Dogs may not understand everything, but they…

DogDaz Zoo: Spring, Snacks, and Suspicious Cats

Hello, dear friends. It is I, Bearnard—small in stature, quiet in presence—returning to keep you properly informed. Since we last spoke in March… well. Life has been a lot. Let me bring you up to speed. 🧸 The PoleCat Saga (Victory Is Mine) You’ll be relieved to know I have successfully regained control of PoleCat*—my beloved, slightly questionable companion. We are once again…

DogDaz Zoo: The 3 PoleCats

Did we tell you about Bearnard’s new best friend? Oh, buckle up—this is a story. It all started innocently enough.K8 gave C a PoleCat (PoleCat #1) for Christmas. Totally festive; wholesome. My girls love cats. C and PoleCat #1 Then, in what can only be described as a bold escalation, K8 gifted V another PoleCat (PoleCat #2) for her birthday in January. And, she liked the cat so much, she bought…

DogDaz Zoo: Wet Paws, Fashion Crimes, & My Formal Complaint to Spring

Someone said spring is coming. I’m not totally convinced, because just last week the yard was still full of slushy, squishy nonsense. But I have noticed the air feels warmer. Warmer usually means rain and fog… which I do not approve of. Let me be clear: I hate rain. I hate wet paws. I especially hate the post-walk towel ambush where Mom rubs my feet like she’s polishing furniture. Highly…

DogDaz Zoo: 10 Years, 16 Pounds, and a Whole Lot of Love

Ten years is a very long time to be on earth when you only weigh 16 pounds. But since I didn’t come to live with Mom until I was 6-1/2, maybe I’m really only 4. Mom seems to like that math – and honestly, so do I. I may have had a rough start in life, but wow… what an amazing “now” I have. When I first came home, I had my big brother Charles (the Pomchi). I loved him very much – and I’m pretty…

DogDaz Zoo: This is RIDICULOUS

We can walk on frozen water This is fun but cold Nice!! Snuggly Way too cold! Let us in! This is crazy I’m waiting! Too icy to climb It is nicer in here Stop Complaining! We do not like coats. We tolerate sweaters (barely). But Mom says it’s “below zero” and that apparently means we must dress like puffy marshmellows. Rude! Even worse, she only lets us play for five whole minutes. FIVE.…

DogDaz Zoo: July 4th - Keeping Your Dogs & Cats Calm

Inky & Stinky We hope that you have a wonderful holiday. Remember that many animals (and humans) are afraid of fireworks, so keep everyone indoors and safe. PREPARE YOUR DOG (& CATS) FOR LOUD NOISES! The 4th and 5th of July are the busiest days of the year for animal shelters and emergency vet clinics as frantic animals break in or out of houses and yards. Early preparation for the Fourth can…
