It was in the teens and the wind chill was keeping the temperature right around zero.
This water sure looks cold!
When Mitch came home, it was my turn for a walkie.
Just to let you know - mom did not make my coat. Katie and Sparky's mom did. Mom appliqued the Airedales on there but my beautiful coat was made by Miss Linda, who is Katie and Sparky's mom.
That crazy looking contraption is our bubbler. It keeps the water defrosted so that the ducks, geese and swans have open water to drink and swim in and it's also for their protection just in case a fox comes to visit.
Even the black swans are happy! Dad says that they stick their long necks in the snow pile and come out with it all over their faces - just like we do!
This is leftover pizza.
Last night, we had company and when the table was cleared, somebody placed the leftover pizza in its original box, too close to the edge of the kitchen counter.
You know where we're going with this, right.
I, Mr Mitch - the non-countersurfer, had the time of my life helping myself to a whole piece of pizza - all to myself!
Maggie wasn't even in the kitchen so she had no clue that a robbery was even taking place!
Mom forgave me. I got a pizza bone!
And I, Miss Maggie, have to tell you that breakfast in bed never tasted so good with pizza bits sprinkled on top of my meal! I may have turned fussy about a lot of foods but pizza is definitely not one of them!
So until next time..............
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Snow AND Pizza !

We love our coats from Sparky and Katie's mom too. They are warm and comfortable, Unfortunately ...we do not have snow here, but we are still hoping.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes,,,,pizza is the best.

Mitch we reckon that pizza jumped into your mouth, no way would you have stolen it! Glad to see there was enough left for Maggie when she had breakfast in bed.

At least you got walked. Dadaw and Gretchen conspired against me - Sissy - and no walks happened Saturday OR Sunday. Dadaw said it was too cold and they'd sprayed chemical on the road, and...
ReplyDeleteHrmph.
Woof! Woof! can't believe the SWAN stayed. ENJOy! Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar

Hi Maggie and Mitch!! Honey Ham would love to come over and check out that pond of yours. She has never swam with ducks before, but I think she would like to try. That pizza looks delicious. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHi Maggie and Mitch,

Maggie you are so spoiled with Mom bringing your meals in bed!!!! The QUEEN !!!

Pizza Bones are soooooo delicious.. and such a RARE treat.
ReplyDeleteMaaaaaaan, I nevers gets pizza bones!
ReplyDeleteDat was interesting bouts your bubbler, didn't know it was to keeps da water from freezing and stuffs.
Puddles
Snow is awesome! We are getting some right now!
ReplyDeleteI think Mitch was just a bit hungry after his big walk in those frigid temps and needed a bit more sustenance. It never hurts when the silly humans put the food so close to the edge and within reach.
ReplyDeleteCindy
Your coat looked so chic, Maggie and yes, I miss having snow. I miss European winter.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Homer
Hi Maggie and Mitch, all of our snow has been washed away by the rain. And it's still raining out. It's kind of yucky out but that's okay. The snow sure looks beautiful around your house. Pizza is great the next day.
ReplyDeleteMmmm! I love pizza too!
ReplyDeleteAnd you guys make that snow look fun! I can only stand so much of it though. :P
Lovely post, M&M! I was fascinated by your 'bubbler' in the middle of the pond. What a fabulous idea. Your white winter wonderland is so far from my own 'African' reality - so when I see posts like this, I absorb every item. Thank you. Glad you got some yummy pizza...think we'll have that for supper.
ReplyDeleteStay warm, my buddies.

I want to be a pizza thief!
ReplyDeleteWhat a score!!!Illicit pizza.
ReplyDeleteWe went to the duck pond this morning and all the ducks were asleep, but the black swans were swimming around. Your birds must be tough to swim in that cold water.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Our word verification is 'boatin' We think that would be warmer than swimmin'
Pizza is the best! Hope you stay warm in those freeeeeezing temps!

I'm pretty sure that pizza jumped into your mouth too! Don't cop to it Mitch! You both are just too cute for words. I love the coat too. Maybe Maggie will want to play tomorrow. You are such a good brother. Enjoy your snow and stay warm.
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty snow...what a joy.
ReplyDeleteNow about that pizza....I would have done the same thing...YUM YUM YUM!

That water sure looks cold. Are the ducks frozen in the water? BOL
ReplyDeleteYou know Bambi did something no other dog has ever done. When she did something wrong and I would tell her No, she would NEVER do it again ever!!! Not even years later!!!
ReplyDeleteShe was so special!!!
Love you all lots, Fern
It made our hearts sing to see the two of you, the snow, the pizza and the geese and ducks and swan. It's been MUCH too long. What a great way to get back to blogging!

Your snow is so pretty. Mitch, we wouldn't mind at all walking around your beautiful yard. We thought it was so funny to hear that the swan stick their heads in the snow. Wish we had some here:(
ReplyDeletePizza - yummers - wish we had some of that too.
Maggie, your coat is so lovely, perfect for you.

I love your pond and how you keep it ice-free in the winter. Mitch - do you mean that you don't swim in it all winter long???? I'm surprised!
ReplyDeleteWay to go with the pizza!!!! Our R is a counter-surfer wannabe. He is SO jealous. I'm glad that Maggie likes her pizza too!
Good news all around!
a snow day then breakfast in bed...nice!
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Howdy Maggie and Mitch, great snow photos and we love you have a bubbler for your birds. Fab.
ReplyDeleteWell done Mitch, er we mean, oh dear, naughty boy, fancy taking pizza from off the bench. We would never dream of attempting that (hehehe). Of course we realise that you were only attempting to get some for dear Maggie. Good boy. Take care all. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
