And it's still...

Snowing!! Mom got home from work yesterday and let me and Darcy run up the hill as always. We'll we had a blast!! Only thing is - it's still snowing!! Mom has re-shoveled our paths in the yard - yeah!! It's been pretty cold here as well. Mom said she was too cold to take us for a walk so we played in the house last night. Poor Darcy, she just goes from room to room hiding. Mom slowly closes one door at a time to limit her access. Dad put the little plow on the 4-wheeler and then plowed (played) around the house a bit. Mom took me outside of the fence so I could mark a few bushes alone. I have this huge white bone doll that I brought along with me. Well I put it down to do my thing and forgot to bring it in. Mom told me to find and it took me a bit, but I did!! Shook off the snow and brought my toy back in the house!! We played non-stop almost all night. Dad was looking at mom like she's lost her mind with all of the playing we did!!

Snowing - again!

Well actually it hasn't stopped! We've got about 6-8 inches on the ground. It snowed last night, mom and dad went to work but not before she dug us a trail in the yard. Darcy is learning about the trails quickly. Can't wait for mom to come home so we can have playtime on the hill!! Darcy is getting her snow feet and getting quicker and quicker at running in the snow!! It's great exercise for us and we love it when mom pulls in the driveway!! :)

Hunters 1 Deer 0

So the hunters got a buck. It's tied up outside of the house. They let me sniff it. I'm so used to seeing them to actually smell one is a treat! :)

Hunters are heading to the woods again today. We'll see if I get to smell another one.

The Hunt is On!

Yesterday after mom and dad went to work the hunters showed up. There are 5 of them staying with us for a week or so. Mom took me and Darcy for a walk - the sun was out for a bit yesterday. We got to the end of the road and BANG! Heard a gunshot! People are sighting in their guns to kill Bambi. I don't like guns, neither does Darcy. So mom quickstepped it back to the house where we played inside!

Mom got up at 4am and made enough noise to wake the hunters up. I curled up with dad and went back to sleep!! Too cold outside and way tooo early to get up!

It's Snowing!!

Wahooooo!!! It's snowing, it's windy and it's cold. Looks good from this sofa with my blanket over me!!

:)

Mom loves....

Me best of all!! More so than Darcy, but not more than my dad.... Mom gave me lots of lovin over the holidays at grandma and grandpas. She whispered in my ear that even though Darcy needs special attention that she loves me best!! Now I've got that warm and fuzzy feeling. Hmmmmmmmmm :}

Great Visit

With Grandma and Grandpa! I, of course, got my special treats from them both!! :) We dropped Darcy off at the kennel and headed out in the pouring rain!! Man was it raining, when we got half way there there winds really picked up. Mom was like - all over the road but not on purpose!! We got to grandma and grandpa's and I ran in to greet them!! I was soooooo happpyyyy to see them!! Gave everyone a big 'ol smooch!

Yesterday before we left mom took me for a walk down the driveway. Which is about a mile long. We got to the end and mom saw something and decided to head back to the house. Turns out there was a buck about 100 feet away watching us. So we headed back towards the house. About half way back the buck ran across the road in front of us and through the woods. Well mom was dragging her feet and talking to me to make noise to keep the buck further away. Got back to grandma and grandpas house and they were looking out the back door. When I asked what they were looking at they said a buck was running full steam behind the house. The buck then went to the end of the field and ran around the mountain. There is deer fencing at the bottom of the mountain (hate it!) and the buck kept trying to crash through the fencing. He finally ran around the bottom of the mountain and up over an open ridge. He was young and seemed panicked.

Then we played frisbee! The wind had died down from the night before and mom could throw it without any problems. We drove home and made a few shopping stops for mom (!). Got to the house and I was soooo glad to see my dad! But there was no Darcy!! I kinda pouted and took a nap. Ate dinner and crashed for the night. Mom went to work this morning and I was still in bed snoozing. Little did I know that it snowed last night and everything is white. Tonight mom will go get Darcy and we'll get back to normal... whatever that is!!

Yippeeee!!

Going to grandma and grandpa's tonight!! Yippeee!!! Me and mom get some alone time on the drive!! Love that!! :) (Doing the happy paw-paw dance!!) Just going for a few nights, then heading back to the hills. I know my grandpa will be happy to see me, he gives me pretzels, cheese puffs and crackers. Mom gives him the stinkeye for doing it but I don't care!! Grandma always gives me chicken, steak or something off the stove. They luv me soooo much!

:)

Dad's Skipping Out

For a bit, he's heading to grandma and grandpa's for a night or two. That means I've got mom all to myself!! Whoopiee!!!! :) Don't get me wrong I know that mom and dad are well, mom and dad. BUT, I love my alone time with her! I know we're supposed to get some company tonight, but that's alright - they're not supposed to arrive until late tonight.

Mom has been taking me and Darcy up the hill daily. We have a great time running around!! Darcy has a big 'ol grin the whole time. Me? I smile constantly - after all Life is Good! :)

Thank you!! What a great day!

We just found out Turner is Diary of the Day!! Wahooooo!!!! This is really a good day!! This morning I took Turner to the vet to have his lump checked. The vet didn't aspirate the lump but felt it up and squished it like crazy! Turner stood there like a true champ!! He's so good at the vets!! Other dogs were barking and he was laying on the floor while we were waiting! People said how does he do that? My comment is I'm calm and he's calm...

Anyhoooo, the vet didn't feel there was anything to worry, it's a common place for fatty tumors and he's about that age when things like this start to pop up. So we drove home with big 'ol grins!! Then we get home and find out that we got Diary of the Day!! :)

This morning we got up, got dressed, literally - it was 20 degrees outside and went out to clean out the bird houses. It's time to get them ready for the winter birds, black capped chickadees and cardinals. After cleaning an house and walking to the next I lost the drill bit thingy along the way. Couldn't find the replacement so I gave up until after the vet trip. On the way home we got 3 replacement tips and were getting ready to head out again to finish the job and put up 2 more bird houses! Gotta take advantage of the nice weather (sunny and 50 degrees) before the snow hits (Friday)

Have a great day everyone!! :}
