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♥

Tasty Tuesday

 As far as mom knows, she has never been to a Cracker Barrel restaurant before but people who go, love their food so when she discovered this recipe on FB, she decided to give it a try.

She used ground turkey instead of beef and she only had a pound so she adjusted the rest of the ingredients accordingly.  

Cheese for me, please!

The aroma coming from the kitchen was making both me and mom nutty!  It smelled sooooooooo good!

Mom is not a fan of hot meatloaf so she let it cool quite a bit before she cut into it and tasted it.  

Have any of you ever had a "sweet" meatloaf before?  It was very filling and a soft texture and mom wasn't crazy about it.  It spent the night in the frig and the next day, she ate it again.

Honestly, she didn't like it any better than before.   It was still sweet and still soft.   Mom grew up never wasting food as it was a rule in her household - if you didn't eat your dinner, you didn't get dessert and you went to bed hungry.   

The next day, she spread Poupon mustard on it and it was better and palatable.  

Let's just say that she won't be making this recipe ever again.   The worst part is that this meatloaf had a bit of shallot in it and I didn't even get to taste it!

Happy Tuesday!

Love ya lots♥
