A Salute to Dr. Suess

Frankie invited us to join in Amber's Dr. Suess challenge.

You must not hop on Pop.

When we heard the rule,

it seemed so cruel.

When Shelties are flying,

it can be so trying.

Somtimes a hop

is really more of a flop.

We know that Dad

is always glad

and wouldn't miss

a Sheltie kiss.

We have no more time

to rhyme.

We must race

as there are squirrels to chase.

Enjoy the day

Make time for lots of play.

Happy Birthday Dr. Suess!!!!

March Came in With the Snow

The snow started yesterday and we have much more of it than you can see in these pictures. Mom just hasn't updated. We were starting to enjoy the little flowers poking up in the ground and now we are getting winter. Mom says its all about the joys of living in New England. We have no idea what that is supposed to mean other than we get snow at Halloween and in March.

Wordless Wednesday

Happy Blogaversary!!!

Mom checked the postings and realized today makes one year since our blog started. We made her double check because we really could not believe it had been a year since it started. She put the date on her phone calendar to remind her to post today.

Of course, we had no idea she would make us wear hats. I guess we are lucky she forgot about the party hats in the bedroom left over from New Years.

We have met so many other dogs since we started and learned so much. Mom searched, but she could not find out who suggested the muffin tin for a food dish. However, without the blogging community, Katy would be tinless.

We loved getting all the Christmas cards this year and look forward to another Christmas card exchange next year, too.

Thank you to all our blogging friends who have supported, encouraged, and helped us through this year. We truly appreciate your kindness, thoughtfulness, and generous spirit.

Now Mom where are those anniversary snacks?

Katy's New Food Bowl

Mom was reading another Dog Blog; she cannot remember which one, about dogs that eat too fast. The writer was talking about solutions to the problem. The writer suggested muffin tins, so Dad got me a new dog bowl and it is the coolest thing ever. It is like getting a puzzle toy at dinner.

Mom and Dad are surprised because they were not sure I would like my new dinner bowl. It is the coolest thing ever. I have to work through the 12 compartments to find my food. Bailey is so jealous. You should have seen his sad little face when he saw he did not get one. Mom and Dad think he eats slowly already. However, I gulp my food down in less than a minute and it does have this way of giving me tummy problems. I still eat fast, but it is a bit more work to get the food out of these little compartments.

Mom wants you to know we are celebrating our one-year blogaversary this week. She looked at the calendar last week and was surprised to find that we have been at this for a year. Who would have believed it!

Got Snow?

We were very surprised to find we were getting snow cookies specially delivered from the skies this morning.

What we could not understand is why Mama made us wait at the door after we had our fill.

After Mom dried us off, she was trying to get the screen slider shut. Katy thought she might need a few more cookies and darted out the door.

After all snow cookies have been a rare occurrence this year.
