My Red Boots

 Mom had to bring the trash down yesterday and she told me that if I wore my red snow boots, I could go down to the road with her.   We have three sets of red boots and she didn't remember which ones were the right size or what we did the last time we wore them so we spent a half hour trying on red boots.

And now to head outside.  So far - so good!

After our adventure of putting the trash can at the side of the road, we could have some fun!
Because the snow is so deep, it pulled one of the boots right off my foot!
I still had fun with just two boots on.  The first one came off not long after we left the house.   I was so excited to be outside in the snow that I was running and dancing around like a crazy Cocker☺
The red boots on my rear feets seem to be okay so we will try the Muttluks on my front feets and see if they stay on.    Mismatched is okay, right?
At least I got outside to test out the snow!

Love ya lots♥

My Birthday Pressies

 Molly loved her interactive toys and I love them too.  I'm for any toy that dispenses yummy treats!

This toy seems to be more of a challenge.   I think I need your help, Lambie.

I love my Benebones!  They are a favorite of mine☺
We were outside for brief business around 9am yesterday.
It was zero and I was ready to head back inside.    I wish it was a whole lot warmer so this snow would melt and reduce in size but it's not to be.
I'm off to chew my birthday Benebone!

Love ya lots♥

My Second Birthday

 Mom always makes me take a picture with my birthday scarf and pawty hat before the eats~

My birthday "cake" is a banana muffin top~
As you can tell, I'm not very polite when yummy treats are involved.
My birthday cake was so yummy!
I need the bottom half of that muffin now, mom!
I'm off to open pressies!

Love ya lots♥

MonDay SnowDay

 Mom shoveled me a portion of the snow so that I could do my business~

I think we got too much!   The snow is as tall as my legs!
My feets are getting cold and I'm ready to go back inside~
What a disappointment this snow is!   It's way too much to have fun in!

We are keeping those down south in our thoughts and prayers.   We never lost our power or got the ice that they did.

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

We took this picture earlier in the week when we had more snow~
Our sad Dogwood tree has moss growing on it~
Now for the Amaryllis.  You can't tell by this picture but there are 3 flowers blooming and the 4th will be opening soon enough and there is another bud below that hasn't even started to pop yet!
This is Missy's Christmas gift to mom.  It's popped out even more today and mom can't wait to see it fully opened up!
Many of us have weekend storms coming and the temps will drop LOTS so yesterday was my day to play outside☺
Mom loves to tease me and I really don't mind a bit!
Happy Friday!  Stay warm and safe!
Love ya lots♥

Terrific Tuesday

 Farmer Will was here Sunday night plowing our driveway.  We had a wee bit more snow during the night and mom wanted to clean it up and head to the grocery store.  That's the driveway in front of my mountain of snow.

I couldn't wait to get outside to play!
Mom says that something is up with my ears☺
She's not sure what digging in the snow and circling around and around and rolling my ball over and over means.
Throw it, mom!
The temps are turning bitterly cold so I'm enjoying my fun in the snow while I can.  
Happy Tuesday!
Love ya lots♥

Sunday Fun on Monday

 It started snowing early Sunday morning.

Mom told me that as soon as it stops, we will head out.
It was a wet snow and perfect for making snowmen but that's not what I had in mind.   
We've been up for hours, Mr Rooster!

Mom asked the intermutts if spraying doggie conditioner on my legs would help with heavy snowballs not sticking.   They said yes.  They lied!
Mom loves to tease me with my ball~
I am sure loving my snow!
Happy Monday!

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

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

It's been warmer than normal all week long so I haven't had to wear my coat.  It might be warmer, but the ducks still get to ice skate on the pond!

We are not finding anything worthy of picture taking.   The prettiest pictures are the ones with snow and the weatherPeeps assure me that it will fall this weekend - not much but an inch is better than none at all.   The ice cold winds and freezing temp have already arrived!

At home, the Amaryllis from the bulb of the month club is taunting mom.  She prays for it to open every single day☺
Missy's Amaryllis bulb all of a sudden shot up.   Mom is experimenting with the African Violets.  If they don't get buds on them before the next bulb of the month pot shows up, they are history because mom needs that spot that they are occupying.   
What - is my lip stuck?
Mom let me wear a harness one day this week and the next day it was back to my head collar <sigh>
Happy Friday!

Love ya lots♥
