Warmish Wednesday

 We have temps in the 40's today!   Mom told me that I didn't need a coat and she told me that we would give my harness a go~

What do you mean that it didn't go so well.   

I will try not to pull so hard next time, mom.

Happy Wednesday!

Love ya lots♥

Tasty Tuesday

 Mom discovered a new recipe on FB that she really wanted to try out~

She added chopped celery too.   She adds celery to everything.  I love it and she loves it!  Sorry that the photo is blurry - yup, I love celery!

She can't remember if I've had cabbage or not so........   Yup, I love cabbage too!  

Dinner is underway~

Mom let me taste the beef~

Mom loved this recipe and will be making it again.  She didn't use onion but she did use half a shallot and Mrs Dash's seasonings for the garlic and onion.   

She says it's a keeper for sure!

Happy Tuesday!

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy and Sunny this week for Nature Friday~~

We haven't been walking much but we did go out for a short burst on New Year's Eve~   The snow has a crust and that's how I'm able to stand on top of it without sinking. 

At home, the December bulbs from the bulb of the month club and growing by the minute!  The white hyacinth will be blooming soon and mom can't wait to bury her nose it its fragrance!

Did we tell you that Missy gave mom an amaryllis for Christmas?  It's under the plants lights and doing great!

The orchids are also underneath the plant lights and they are going to bloom too!  These plant lights are a doG-send for our plants and it seems the African Violets are the only ones that don't give a hoot about them.  

Tomorrow is my sissy's birthday and we have a selfie to share with you of Missy and her new best friend, Coco♥

Happy Friday!

Love ya lots♥

Sunday's Fun on Monday

 I found my ball!  

We had light rain here last night and my beautiful snow is all soft and mushy and the temps are 40 degrees and my snow is melting😞

Saturday Snow

 We got eight beautiful inches of snow overnight!   I have to tell you that mom bought me an Orvis coat that she found on ebay.   When it came, the chest was too long and it covered my peepee.   She got the sewing machine out yesterday and took it in and it's a perfect fit and it's nice and warm.

Out we go!

It's the kind of sticky snow that makes ice balls all over my furs!   

I had the bestest fun in my snow.  The only bad part was that I lost my green ball and mom insisted that it was time to go inside and get warm.  She told me that no one will take your ball, Duke.  It will be there waiting for you tomorrow!

Happy Saturday!

Love ya lots♥

Our Christmas Gifts

 First of all and for Nature Friday - the reason for the season~

We had a blast on Christmas Eve with Missy and Tommy.  Mom got a wooden personalized ornie of me for my Christmas tree~

She also got a sweatshirt and two dish towels~

Christmas morning - it was my turn to see what Santa brought me!

To say that I was SuperExcited is the understatement of the year.  Mom says that I was out of control!

What a great Christmas I had!

I hope that all of you had just as much fun on Christmas Day as I had!

We have exciting news~

On Tuesday, the 23rd,  Missy and Tommy adopted Coco and we couldn't be any happier for them!

Mom wrapped up a pink tennis ball that Molly never got to play with, with  a pink bandana that both Maggie and Molly wore and we gifted them to Coco.  Coco has the best family ever♥

Happy Friday!

Love ya lots♥

Merry Christmas

A Busy Tuesday

 Guess what?     We have snow here - not much but enough to have fun in for a brief period before it started to sprinkle down rain.

I hear the rooster!  Doesn't he know that we're awake and have been for several hours!

Mom made Gram's recipe for German Chocolate cake for Christmas Eve dinner tomorrow with Missy and Tommy.   She was pretty mean and didn't share any of it with me - not the yummy batter or the to-die-for frosting.     She says that tomorrow will be better for me as she will be making homemade applesauce to go with the pork roast and veggies.      

Our Christmas cards~

Happy Tuesday!

Love ya lots♥
