Thankful Thursday - Thanks Daisy!

Welcome to a new feature on our blog, thankful Thursday. As some of you may know, Thursday is my least favourite day. To quote the great Douglas Adam's in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "I never could get the hang of Thursdays." Instead of dreading it, I am going to celebrate it with this new feature. Feel free to join us any week you want! (I know it can be hard to remember all the events).



This week we are thankful that the temperature has improved. Monday and Tuesday were bitter cold with temperatures around -29 C/-20 F in the morning, so no walks. Wednesday it was only -13 C/ 9 F, so we were able to have a nice walk and go snowshoeing (more about that tomorrow). The weather looks "warmer" for the rest of the week and into next week, thank goodness. 

We are also thankful that the mailman finally brought a very special gift from California! It took over 2 weeks to get here, but was well worth the wait.  It was a special gift for Hailey from Daisy.


Hailey tried really hard to open it! In the end she needed a little help.


Inside was 4 nicely wrapped presents. 


Phod joined in the unwrapping!


Inside was a delicious reindeer cookie, a chewy we haven't gotten yet, a gingerbread man, and snowballs!


Phod patiently waiting for Lady to take the tags of Gingy. 


I gave the toy to Hailey, but Phod wouldn't be left out and joined in. It is a mirage, but so far Gingy is in one piece!



Thank you Daisy for your very sweet gifts, we love them!

  17. We love taking the tags off stuffies. They're the first things to go. We can't even IMAGINE -29°F!

  18. Oh, and we thought it was cold here...but you were even colder! We're also thankful that it has warmed up some; though that means rain coming, instead of snow, and you can't go snowshoeing on ice which is what we're ending up with.
    Fun packages and new toys in the mail are definitely something to be thankful for as well!

  19. Daisy sure did a great job selecting those fine pressies. You really do have some very cold temps up there. Mom is amazed that your humans can get out in those temps. How do they keep their hands and feet warm? She keeps trying to find a really good pair of gloves so her fingers don't go numb:)
