Ah yes, more lovely weather
It snowed all night, when I woke it was still snowing, not much accumulation though. Long day of snow, no snow, rain, fog and now freezing rain.
Please, please, please tell me Spring is almost here. Hell, lie to me! I don’t care. I do not like this weather.
Whoohoo dogmania!
Patty played fuzzy grey burrito yesterday, until Gavin decided he wanted to play and jumped on her.
Then it became wrestle mania.
You all have a good one!
My dogs are fashionistas
Yes, I do spoil my dogs a bit. Today they got brand new, hand-made collars. I will not tell you how many collars they already have, but they do have more collars than I have purses.
The woman who makes the collars does a wonderful job. They are stronger and last longer than any I have purchased in a store. They cost about the same too. Pictured below are four of their collars all made by Diana. The top two are the latest ones.

I never thought I’d see this.
These two will play together but they never snuggled together. It was that whole ‘TOUCHING?!” thing. The arrival of the soft, fluffy, fuzzy throw has changed things around here a bit.
You all have a good one. I’m going to sit back and enjoy this.
We had more snow
It wasn’t much really, just very stick to everything fluffy, one of those great packing snows. Ideal for snowball fights and snowmen.
I let Patty out without the leash (since the pond is frozen I felt safe) She tore around the yard like a gazelle being chased by a cheetah. She’s quite the lovely sight when she cuts loose like that.
Gavin walked out, peed, and walked back in, he wasn’t impressed.
Once inside, he was the bouncy one and she was ready to take a snooze on the couch under her soft and fluffy blanket.
You all have a good one!
They say bad things come in threes…Maybe I’ll stay in bed tomorrow.
Whenever things get going too smoothly around here, I know the other shoe is gonna drop, hard.
The Curmudgeon has had a bad couple of days. Yesterday being the worse he’s had in a while. Bad enough that he had to resort to using his walker in the afternoon. Not fun for him or for the rest of us.
The vet called and said that Patty’s kidneys are not looking great. Her BUN and Creatinine levels are off. We are going to try to get her levels better with diet. If that doesn’t work then we have to go to medication.
We lost two of our Bullys to renal failure years ago and we’re hoping we can give Patty a few more good years yet.
You all have a good one!
If looks could kill…
This was Patty at the vet’s office. Patty was not happy. Patty is real good at giving stink-eye.
I’m happy to say that she is feeling better and actually ate breakfast yesterday. She was eager for her dinner too.
Now all we have to do is wait for her blood test result on Monday to see if we have anything going on we don’t know about.
You all have a good one!
Soft bully, warm bully….
Patty discovered the new throw. It is very soft, furry, and warm. She likes it. She never sits on the couch with me and yet, when she discovered this fabulous new throw, she leapt upon the couch and somersaulted into the throw rolling herself into doggy burrito.
Gavin’s green-eyed-monster raised its head and he joined us on the couch.
You all have a good one!
No one knew what they were for…
Years ago, when we used to put up a tree for the holiday, we came up with a clever arrangement to keep the tree from tumbling to floor when the resident cat or dogs wanted to mess with it. We lost a few trees to cats who climbed them, or dogs who want to play around them, or both.
We got smart and ran wire from the two decorative rings on the wall to the tree. Never lost a tree after that. 😉
You all have a good one!
What crawled up his butt?
As I sit here at the computer I am giggling. Why am I giggling? Because Gavin, the foolish old dog, has barked at me all night. He claims I am not paying him enough attention, or something along that line.
This is not your average bark coming from him either. It’s a higher pitch scolding bark with the stink-eye to go with it. All I can do is laugh, which makes him scold me all the more.
It’s not like I didn’t spend a few hours snuggling with him on the couch after dinner or scratching his belly off and on all afternoon.
Him spoiled? No…um…well… not much.
Don’t worry, Patty gets her share of attention around here, but she insists on her Daddy doing it. 😉
You all have a good one!
Have I run out of wall space yet?
Not on your life.
I put the third picture up on the wall and I still have room for more. 
If you can’t see it well enough…
Here it is.
This one is my absolute favorite picture…a water color by Maggie Burns. What a fabulous talent she is.
