Necessary? - by Lee

Sometimes when I am outside, I see Callie out in her yard. When this happens, I have to bark, a lot. Callie will usually bark back. 

Lady wonders if this is necessary, and I say it is. How else will I keep up with the going ons in the hood?

When Will The Snow Be Gone

Here is our snow check in.

We had dustings many days last week, but they didn't last. Even with the below freezing temperatures, the snow is mostly gone in the front yard. 

However, there are some pockets in the back that must melt. These were taken on Saturday.

Snow in the back

Am I the only one who is sad the snow is going?

Sorry Millie and Walter - you didn't win this year.

Let's look at the forecast (posted as of Sunday):



Will Beau have the right guess, with all the snow gone by the end of the day today? Or will it hang out for Ojo's guess of Easter Sunday or Nobby's guess of Phod's birthday on April 1? Stay tuned

Mischief Monday - Maybe Busy Isn't So Bad - by Phod

 Dear pals,

As we have said before Lady has been very busy. And she is injured with her elbow so things are harder. We agree with Beau's Lady, she needs to no more.  She actually says no more than you would imagine, she is just in demand. 

At any rate, she has been working to make sure she is spending more time with us. This means besides the nice walks (we will share some later this week), she is into the physical love (in her case smooshing us me).


I think I may like busy better then this.

Nature Friday - Still Not Springy Enough - by Phod

 Thanks to my pals Rosy and Sunny for hosting this event.

As you know, it is unseasonably snow-less, although this week it has been rather chilly and even good Canadians need a winter coat and hat (Lady wanted to write toque but I reminded her not everyone knows what a toque is so she used the word toque). Anyway, there was so little snow everywhere, I thought we should go to the lake for a swim. Lady would only take me to the top of the hill. As you can see the lake is still very ice covered.

It may look blue, but that is ice on the lake still

Lady said it is far to dangerous for us to go near it yet. So while I was sad I couldn't swim, I did try and enjoy the fact our after dinner walk doesn't happen in the dark right now. 


And then come home and dream of the day I get to go swimming again.

From summer 2023

Extra Supervision Needed - by Lee

Dear pals,

Lady is requiring a lot of extra supervision these days. She has been too busy and sometimes it feels like she is hardly home. She hopes things slow down some because she was not designed for so much peopling! After being out 36 hours on the weekend at 4 different social things, she needed a day in bed.


I take my supervising duties very seriously and I am sometimes rewarded by something like cheese while she works.



We are sorry we haven't been around much lately, but again Lady has been busy and in her spare time she had added physio as she has microtears in the tendon in her elbow. She should have some more time in the next few weeks as she can't play pickleball or do things like vacuum (she is not so sad about that last one).


the best supervisor, Hailey Bug
