Grateful - by Lady

Recently, I have been less hopeful and more frustrated with humanity. It seems like general kindness and patience with our fellow humans has decreased. However, the small act of one of my readers helped give me a little faith recently. 

Our "When Will the Snow Be Gone" contest winner, asked for a donation to be made to charity instead of a prize. I sent her 2 animal charities I support, and let her pick. After the selection, she let me know, she and her husband had decided to also make a donation to the Ottawa Paw Pantry in our honour. My silly little blog contest, that helps us pass the last long days of winter, has filled my heart as it has filled animals bellies. Who could ask for anything more? For this I am truly grateful and send my sincerest thank you to Fay, for reminding me, good is still out there,.

*The Ottawa Paw Pantry is a food bank for families in need, that hopes to allow struggling families to keep their fur members. 

Mischief Monday - No Rest For The Wicked - by Lee

 Dear Pals,

Saturday morning, I was not having any of this sleeping in business. I was up and ready to go at 5:20. It was Lady's morning, so she was up and ready to go too. We went for a hike in Callie's woods.

While the morning was cool, as the moon sat low in the sky, it was a great day for a sniff!

We usually access the woods through our yard, but instead we passed Callie's house, went down the road (which is also her peoples) and entered in the back.

This put us on trails we don't usually use, and we found this. We asked the people about it and sometime in the winter, one of the kids put this here and so duckie lives in the bush now. 

Lady laughed when Phod got a little caught under the leash as he is not as agile as me.

Of course, we worked on our synchronized sniffing.

We were back in the house around 6 am. Some of us were ready to go back to bed and some of us watched an hour of the coronation of our king before getting the housework done. Man is grateful as he would not have enjoyed Lady vacuuming at 6:30 am. 

While Lady was slightly annoyed we were up so early, she was glad to get so much done. Also, she was really glad her morning wasn't Sunday because some boy dog, needed to go out at 5 am.

Nature Friday - Deer

 

It has been super rainy all week. It hasn't been too fun to be outside. However, we have had a lot of deer TV. We have had to bark at them a lot. There are about 6 in the yard every day. 

Thanks to Rosy and Sunny for hosting this event. 

May the 4th Be With You!

The Importance of Sleep - by Phod

Dear pals,

On the weekend, Lady finished up a workshop on teaching people how to get good sleep. 80% of the kids she works with have sleep problems.

At first I was very attentive.

However, after some time, I decided a nap was in order.

Turns out, I am a very good sleeper and don't need help with it!

We Have A Winner!

 

We interrupt Mischief Monday to celebrate that we have a winner for our when will the snow be gone contest!

This was the snow situation on April 23 or so.

After checking this pile several times per day, this was the spot on the early afternoon of April 29. (There had still be a little snow in the morning.)

Finally, the snow is gone and grass eating season is here!

Our winner is FAY who picked April 30. Fay, please email Lady at kten19ATmeDOTcom to talk about a prize.

Thank you to everyone who played this year. It was a close race and the snow left before Lady and Man thought it would.
