Merry Christmas

 

Our Holiday Card

 

Nature Friday - Winter Wonderland

 Last week - Thursday night into Friday - the snow came and came and came. We ended up with something like 35cm or 13 inches. Lady and Man got the snowblower back the day before the storm, only to find out that it had been put together incorrectly and didn't work. Man made it passable and Sunday Lady spent a good hour shovelling.

Enjoy a walk in the yard and Callie's Sugar Shack.

Dear Santa

 Hailey's Letter:

Dear Santa,

I have sometimes tried to be a good girl this year. It is hard when you are a strong independent dog to always listen to the people. I have not really run away. I may have peed on the carpet or dog bed, but unlike the mice I did not chew the dishwasher hose 2 times or the Man's wiper fluid hose. I have been less anxious and am doing my best to age gracefully. 

For Christmas I would like:

-my sight back so I don't trip as often - it is embarrassing

-more trust from Lady so I can be free more

-the hat tax to be outlawed 

-treats and belly rubs whenever I want them

Your very good girl, Hailey Bug 

Phod's Letter

Dear Santa,

I have been a very good boy this year. Sometimes my nose leads me to Callie's house and sometimes I am scared of the power going out and I can pace and pant all night, but I try really hard to make my people happy.

All I want for Christmas is for my Man and Lady to keep loving me, lots of time with Precious and may I continue to age gracefully.

I wish all the animals in need of love find great homes like mine, but I hope they don't have a hat tax.

Thanks Santa.

Love Phod - the most handsome reindeer

Mischief Monday - Celebrating Without Us

 Dear Pals,

On Saturday night we were left alone for 87 million hours, and the power went off for 30 minutes of this (Lady came to check on us), so the peeps could go to a party next door. 

While they were having all the fun, a huge mouse came in and peed and pooped on the floor. This big mouse would feel bad except the people came home smelling like other animals and we found pictures to show what horrible traitors they are.

First up, a less than impressed Ash. She and her brother Cinder (not pictured because he knew to hide) may be 9 weeks now. 

The Man played with Callie. 

Lady laughed at Callie under the tree. 

Maybe we should be grateful Lady didn't have Santa over for some pictures. 

Milo being forced to love the Man. He stayed hidden most of the party as he is not a fan of this. 

Lady playing tug with Callie. They played a lot. Callie got lots of attention while we were suffering at home alone. 

Ash asleep in Man's arms. It took some doing, but she did settle, better than the 2 month old human at the party. 

Lady getting her smooshing Ash on. We can't believe she not only did this, but let an 8 year old take the picture. 

Lady says to say there were lots of people there - adults, kids - and they were very. nice but the pets were her favourite! 

We hope Santa brings them coal for this display.

A very unhappy Lee and Phod
