We're Back

We realize we left you with a cliffhanger regarding the snowman incident. Mama got over it and all is well. However, she has been busy with stuff lately and we have not gotten back to blogging in a while. We did not want anyone to worry.

Katy finally met someone more afraid of her than she was of him and he admitted he now has met two dogs he actually likes. He had met Bailey before Katy came and was surprised to find he was not afraid of him. When he found there was an addition since his previous visit, he was a bit nervous. However, he pronounced her a true lady and she won him over. She was intrigued that someone was not trying to make friends and spend time with her, so she overcame her natural inclination to avoid strangers.

It carried over to the Super Bowl game where she impatiently waited for the snack she has come to expect at half time from a frequent football guest. I am not sure who is more distressed that the season has ended. Those half time cookies were very popular around here.

Yes, the Patriots lost and Bailey took it hard. Katy was only upset that everyone else was so upset. She really does not take sides in these issues.

Mistaken Toy Identity

Really Mom we have no idea how he got off the book shelf. We thought he must be ours when he was on the floor. There was no malice intended.

OK we need a good dog lawyer to press our case. Any takers?

Valentine Toys

While Mom put away our Christmas toys, Dad kept the promise of finding us Valentine's Toys. We got an an owl, an elephant, and two conversation hearts.

We love holiday toys.

Wordless Wednesday: The Snow Arrives

Snow Again

Not that we should be surprised, but it snowed again. It seems winter has finally remembered New England. We are enjoying snow cookies again. However, we are not sure how long they will last.

Our Stories are Back: The Big Over Easy

Mama has brought back our morning story hour. Over Christmas, she heard about a mystery series based on nursery characters for adults written by Jasper Fforde. We are listening to the first one The Big Over Easy: A Nursery Crime a Jack Spratt detective story that covers the murder of Humpty Dumpty.

Mama has a thing about the Humpty murder case. She used to make her students try to decide who murdered Humpty as part of a class exercise on traditional literature, so she is enjoying this story.

She is finding it funny how they are mixing Grimm's, nursery rhymes, and mythology all in one book.

Katy has been disappointed that there is little romance in the novel. Bailey was looking for more action. However, Mama loves the combination of mystery and fairytale characters. We will update more when we finish listening to the story.

We Got Snow Cookies!!!

After a long wait it appears we have snow cookies. According to Dad the rain will remove them before long, but Mom insisted on getting some shots of us enjoying the snow while it lasted.
