FFF Nature Friday - WHooooo Do You See

 Thanks to Rosy for hosting Nature Friday. 

 

It was an exciting week for us in the owl department. We have lived in the hills for 8.5 years and while we have heard the owls, we have not seen them.

Our first spotting was Sunday morning on our morning walk. Down the road I spied one sitting in a tree. It was just before 8 am and she was staring at us. I regretted not having any device to caputure her image. So imagine how excited I was on Thursday morning when during a zoom consult, I saw movement from the corner of my eye and there she was! I actually paused my meeting to call the Man (who captured this picture). She was there for about 15 minutes before moving on.


Thanks to Yamini for hosting FFF.

The little birds sound the alarm

An intruder to them who may do them harm

But when I look it is beauty I see

Wisdom and grace have come to our tree.

Thankful Thursday - My Settee - By Phod

 Dear pals,

You may remember that almost a year ago, Lady's adopted Grandma died. In her will, Lady and Aunt C inherited the contents of the house. One of the items the Lady took was Missy G's settee. Lady has purchased an inexpensive cover for it. I think it, with the throw pillows Lady found, is the perfect place to sleep. Missy G would totally approve of my enjoyment of this! Lady says she can hear her laughing! Missy G had a great laugh and laughed often. 

I am thankful to have such a comfy and special place to relax.

Winter Fun

 Well the cold has finally arrive, but this didn't stop the Man from making us our first fort. On Saturday he blew out some of the snow from the front lawn to give us a place to play.

Lady said it was hard to photograph, but we hope you get the idea.

Here in picture one Phod is going over the wall!


In picture 2, Hailey is checking it out. She is not that impressed. 


Here in picture 3 you can see Phod and Man walking through it. Phod likes it as it is easier to run here then in the deep snow!

Mischief Monday - Humouring The Humans

  Dear pals,

While I can appreciate the value of the internet, I wouldn\"t know all of you without it, it really has it\"s disadvantages.

Lady discovered people were teaching their animals to talk using buttons. She also discovered these buttons can be purchased rather inexpensively on the internet and now I must humour her through training sessions. We all know she knows what I want.

This short video was taken during my first training session. I think it is clear I am not the one who needs training.

The ever patient Hailey


PS Lady hopes the video works. She had no end of trouble trying to get it in. She even tried buying the Blogger app . . . there were sooooooo many HBO words! so she has attached it here several different ways with hopes one will work! YouTube

Thankful Thursday - by Phod

 Dear pals,

I am thankful for all the snow we go. It wasn't too cold (it was just around freezing) and I got to run and play in it a lot!  I was so happy! Here are a few pictures of me having fun!
