Wordless Wednesday: Supervising the cleanup

We were supervising and providing security while Dog Dad kept our race track clean during the storm. It took several trips but we were there to make sure the job was done right.

The Melt Before the Storm

We are due for a big storm today. As of Monday the weatherman says we could get another foot of snow cookies. Mom decided it would be interesting to get some pre-storm pictures to see how much melting has occurred since the last storm. We had 16 inches of snow last week, but it's March and despite Mother Natures best efforts Spring is coming. Spring snow keeps falling, but it doesn't have the staying power of winter snow.

We lost power in the last storm so we hope all of you stay safe and dry in this storm. That being said we are enjoying the last snow cookies of the season.

Before and After

Mom caught these pictures during the storm last Thursday and really liked them because it demonstrates two things, one Spring snow really doesn't want to stay and two Evergreens shed snow at the first possible chance they get.

Snow has been melting steadily since the storm, but we have hope as the weather dude says more snow is coming our way this week. We like our snow cookies as long as we can get them.

Remembering Bailey on his Birthday

Well technically Bailey's birthday would have been Saturday but we rarely post on weekends. 15 years ago a beautiful Sheltie boy was born and we were blessed to have him in our lives for 13 years.

He was one of the most social and welcoming dogs I've even known. When our scared and frightened Katy arrived Bailey made it his personal mission to help her feel safe, learn to play, and embrace life.

Thoughtful Thursday: Enjoying the Yard

We love hanging out in the yard, however sometimes a girl just needs a little privacy. Mom may want to take pictures, but it doesn't mean I have to cooperate.

Wordless Wednesday: Look Deeply Into My Eyes

Well it works sometimes. I can sometimes distract Mom with my adorable cuteness, but for the most part she refuses to let me get away with using my cuteness to get away with trouble. Still she can't resist snapping pictures.

Walking the fence

Fence patrol is one of our important daily chores. For one thing the squirrels seem to think the fence is a squirrel highway. For another the local bunnies like to use the fence to slide in and out of our yard on a frequent basis. As a result we spend considerable time patrolling. Then of course we have to share lintel with the black lab next door on a frequent basis. After all he sees all the stuff on the other side of the fence we never see. While Mom frowns on the conversations, it really is all about her security and we think she should appreciate our hard work.
