Wonderful Wednesday

 I got a treat ball!  I roll it and it dispenses yummy treats!

The treats have to be sorta large or it makes it very easy for me to roll them out without hardly trying at all☺

I like this ball!  It's fun!

Happy Wednesday!

Love ya lots♥

Very Icy Monday

 Mom announced that it was time to head outside for "business" so we both got our coats on and bundled up as it's cold and the wind is whipping.  Thank goodness for ice cleats or mom wouldn't have been able to walk safely.

My beautiful snow is totally ice covered!

The glare is blinding!

Mom told me that all this is good for is ice skating!

Our weather is going to be freezing cold all week so no walkies will be happening.  We are grateful that the wind is knocking all of the ice off the tree branches.   Paws and fingers are crossed there won't be a power outage.

Happy Monday and Happy President's Day!

Love ya lots♥

Icy Sunday

 Yesterday and into last night, just over an inch of snow fell and then the rain started and it's still raining and at 30 degrees F everything has turned to ice~

My tail is wagging as I want to stay outside and play but mom says no.   It's dangerous, Duke!

I am doing my morning business under the ice covered apple tree and mom was praying no branches were going to break while we were underneath them.  

The pink dogwood tree is covered in ice too and you can see the slushy "pond" to the right of it.   

Farmer Will plowed the driveway around 2:30am and it's now a skating rink.  Our temps are supposed to climb this afternoon and then the wind event will begin.     Mom is praying we don't lose our power.

I sure hope my fun snow is not ruined!

Love ya lots♥

Gone Too Soon

 Mackie's mom wrote on Sunday to let me know that Mackie had passed away on Saturday.  It came as a shock as I wasn't expecting this news.   Molly and Mackie lived together for almost a year before Geo and I split so I watched Mackie grow up from a small wee pup to just a week or so before his first birthday.  

Sweet potato fries and a stink eye from Molly~

TheAirekids got along okay living together.    

We had visits from Mackie often when we lived in our apartment with the fenced in yard.

They actually got along better than before as Molly truly loved being an only furChild.

When we moved from the apartment to where we live now, I continued to groom Mackie so we could keep in touch.    He was such a SuperSweet and lovable boy♥

Mackie's very favorite toys since I have known him were his Furballz~  

He never chewed them.  He suckled on them and I always suspected it was because he came to us at 6 weeks old, which is way too young for a puppy to leave his mom.  

Mackie's mom also let me know that Mackie's brother, Jett, passed away only a few days before Mackie did.  I knew that Jett had lymphoma and that his days were numbered but I didn't know until Saturday that Mackie had brain cancer.  The news was just devastating.  

I don't have photos of Jett as Molly and I only lived with him for a week or so before we moved.

Missy sent me this photo of her dad and Jett warming themselves by the fire.  Geo told me more than once that anyone who met Jett, loved him from the start.  

My heart goes out to Mackie and Jett's mom.   Her life went from having two wonderful dogs, who she loved dearly, to having none in such a short period of time.   I can't even imagine the pain she's in.  

Sadly, Mackie and Jett were only eight years old - both gone way too soon.  

I know how hard it is to lose your precious pup and you lost two of them so close together.  Life can be so unfair.   Huge hugs to you, Kim♥

Love,

Sue

Four Inches

 Four inches of snow fell in my yard overnight Saturday and into Sunday morning and I couldn't wait to go out and play!

Mom was laughing at me because I always have so much SuperFast energy but the deeper snow was tiring me out more and more as I was racing around.

It was time to take a break and rest!

It was a cold thirty degrees and mom's fingers were feeling it so it was time to head back inside.   I do look a wee bit frosty☺

Happy Monday, everyone!

Love ya lots♥

Icy Snow Saturday

 We went out to play in the ice covered snow~

I found two kids in our woods who were improperly dressed for a cold day.   I invited them inside.  They thanked me and told me they preferred to stay outside in the cold!

Okay, then.   I'm off to play with my ball!

Happy Saturday!

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

I got a new coat!   Mom said that it was too good of a deal to pass up and it's a belated birthday pressie~

Along our walk, we spotted ivy growing up a tree~

I'm making yellow snow!

We found rhododendron buds on our bush at home~

Happy Friday!

Love ya lots♥

 Mom is thinking about sharing one of Molly's Multipet toys with me.

My first time hearing the Deedle-Dude song~

I promise to be very careful and not remove his ears, mom!
