Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

Our orchids are really enjoying the plant light and mom can't wait to see the beautiful blooms!

Missy's Amaryllis is still going strong~

We had an oopsie here a couple of days ago.  The curtain rod in our picture window decided to let loose.  There is a lot of glass on the window sill and thankfully, nothing got broken.   Naturally, mom took the opportunity to photograph me with a beautiful Amaryllis bloom that broke off the stalk~

Mom had a dentist appointment yesterday and when she got back, she decided that we should go for a walk.   We can't remember the last time that we walked as it was so cold.

The Red Twig Dogwoods are looking beautiful in the snow~

Farmer Will's field is sooooo pretty!

Happy Friday!

Love ya lots♥

Thankful Thursday

 I am so thankful that it hasn't been so cold out and I can go out and play and I'm so thankful for my beautiful snow!

I bet you know why I'm sitting here~

Yup, she's teasing me with my ball.  I'm waiting for mom to tell me, "Okay Duke" and to be honest, sometimes I'm not very good at waiting and I don't listen very well.

The sun feels so good on my face!

Happy Thursday!

Love ya lots♥

Wonderful Wednesday

 So today, mom remembered to wear her tall boots and she was really surprised at how deep the snow was~

She thought that I was kidding!

It's hard work jumping through this snow~

Stop whining about how tired your legs are, mom!

I was making it look easy for you☺

Happy Wednesday!

Love ya lots♥

Terrific Tuesday

 Monday morning, I got a bath~

Around 11am, mom checked the thermometer and announced that we were going outside to play!  To say that I was excited was the understatement of the year!

Yes, the snow is really that deep and the sun is out but it's still very cold and it's breezy~

I was having the time of my life!

You are not going to believe this, but mom forgot to put her tall boots on so I was doing all the work and she wasn't getting any exercise at all☺

It takes a lot of oomph to run through this deep snow!

We had such a great time even though we stayed outside only fifteen or twenty minutes.   When mom's fingers get cold, she knows that it's time to come inside and warm up!

We knew Phil, the groundhog wouldn't let us down.  

Love ya lots♥

Sunday Selfie

 I'm wearing my birthday collar that just arrived.   The lady who made it lives in Tennessee and we are thankful that it came as quickly as it did.

Happy Sunday and ............

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy today for Nature Friday~~

Both of our Amaryllis bulbs are keeping mom smiling in these cold temps~

This flower is on the second stalk blooming from Uncle Mark~

This flower is Missy's in full gorgeous bloom~

There are so many flowers blooming at the same time on Missy's and hers has two stalks too!

Mom snapped this shot Thursday morning.  It's looking out our garage window.  She wanted to see if we had lost any snow inches.  Nope!

We needed to pay the rent and mom took me with her.  Landlady Maryanne's driveway is longer than ours is!

I needed to test out her snow to make sure it was just as fun over here!   Hey, mom - that's our house over there!

It's a beautiful day and cold with breezes and the weatherPeeps are warning us that Friday will be VERY frigid all day long with temps below zero so that's why we were paying the rent on Thursday.  

So the scoop on the red boots - the back ones stayed in place and I lost both Muttluks that were on my front feets - one of them in our driveway and the other one in Maryanne's driveway.   Mom thinks it my SuperSilky furs.  The front ones just will not stay on!  The red boots that do stay on are called Magic Cindy's in case anyone wants to know.  

Happy Friday!  Stay warm!

Love ya lots♥

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♥
