Throwback Thursday and Now - Will Wonders Ever Cease?

10 and a half years ago, when Miss Hailey Bug came to live with us, she was apparently crate trained. We quickly learned she was very determined to not stay in her crate, and after she destroyed the second one, we gave crate training up. If you click HERE you can read one of our stories from 2010. Here is picture from that post.

So you can all imagine my shock and surprise when the crate (we use it for Emma) has become one of Hailey's favourite places to sleep. We keep the door open and now we often find her resting there!

What? It is cozy.

 

Wordless Wednesday - Phod and The Neighbour Callie #1

 

Dr. Seuss Day

 

Today we join Blogville in celebrating Dr. Seuss Day!

The following is from a playdate with our neighbour Callie. She is growing up quickly!

Play, play, play!

I came over here to play. 

Run, run, run!

Run and have some fun!

Fly, fly, fly!

So fast you fly by!

Mischief Monday - The Comedian - by The Lady

As a child of the 70s, I was (and am) a huge Muppets fan.  Fozzie Bear, the comedian, was my favourite (as an adult I have a soft spot for Rolf). I never imagined, I would grow up to have a dog who thought he was a comedian.

The current joke Phod plays with us goes something like this:

We let him off leash at the end of the driveway. 

We walk toward the house and often put Lee in the house (she does not have a fondness for cold winter days).

Phod sits at the end of the driveway.

A dramatic recreation:)

You call, he sits.

He sits entirely still and sometimes you think maybe there is something wrong (especially on the very cold days, like maybe his paws hurt to much to walk).

You walk back down the driveway toward him.

He stays perfectly still.

You reach him and he smiles at you and takes off up the driveway to the house.

I'm so funny! 

Turns out the comedian is not a bear, it is a dog:) Waka waka! 

Nature Friday - The Are Back

 Thanks to Rosy for hosting Nature Friday.

Momma and her babies were back again last week. Lady and Man are impressed with how healthy they look so deep into the winter. 

We also hosted a meeting of or the Squirrel United Nations. 

Thankful Thursday - by Lee

 I am thankful for the Lady moving a bed into the sun puddle for me, so that even though it was too cold outside, I could enjoy the sun.
