Valentine's Day

 I got Valentine gifts!

The new squeaky ball is mine, LavenderLambie, so no helping yourself to it, okay!
An edible gift came in the mail yesterday for me but because of all of the commotion with the noisy roofers and stuffs all over the ground, mom said we would wait a day to enjoy it.
Happy Valentine's Day to all of my friends!
Love ya lots♥

Friday the Thirteenth

 Mom and I went for a very short walk on Tuesday.   We have snow that the plows can't move far enough off the road and it makes it dangerous to walk.  We only got one picture before mom decided to return home~

The pond is totally frozen and we didn't see any ducks and wondered............  
Landlady Maryanne called and told mom that the ducks are all gone.  With the pond being frozen and no open water is available, the ducks aren't safe and any predator - well, you know.    We feel so awful for those sweet ducks.   

We did watch the Puppy Bowl last weekend~
Mr Bill was the referee at my house!
Landlady Maryanne also let us know that roofers are coming here.  We think they are doing the entire roof and there is snow on our roof! 
The dumpster and shingles have been delivered. 
We are praying that everyone stays safe on this Friday the 13th!

Happy  Friday!

Wonderful Wednesday

 It was warm enough yesterday, that mom told me that we could go out and play in the snow!     This snow is solid so I'm able to stand on top of it without falling through.  Where we haven't stepped, the snow is about fourteen inches deep.

Mom said that we have sleet coming so we need to have as much fun as possible because my snow is going to change~

It's so nice to get out in the snow and romp once again!
Happy Wednesday!

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!

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 ............

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♥
