Another Dreary Day

 This hat was supposed to be a Christmas pressie for me.

Thank goodness it didn't fit!    It looks so much better on you, Francesca!

Paws and fingers are crossed that we see the sun soon.   This rain and fog is getting depressing!

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy and Sunny this week for Nature Friday~~

Miss Laura has huge ornies hanging from her trees!

We did find mushroom growth~

One more African Violet has blossoms on it☺

Why aren't these Canada geese afraid of me and flying off?

Happy Friday, everyone.   I am officially eleven months old today!

My First Christmas

 Missy and Tommy were here Christmas Eve and we had a blast!  There were pressies galore and somehow, I managed to find the bag that was for me☺

I was a wee bit wired and moving faster than normal.  Missy and Tommy gave me a chew and a rope toy that I love and a squeaky ball.    I love squeaky balls!

A photo of us♥

Tommy gave mom another cement Buffy!  Don't they look so happy together!

Missy made mom a stained glass portrait of me!   Mom says it has to be her most favorite gift♥

Christmas morning, we went for a walk.   

When we got back, it was Christmas all over again!    I got a cow stuffy and two more squeaky balls!

I sure do love my squeaky balls!  You can never have too many, right?!

I got my very first BullyStick!

My first Christmas was the best ever!

I can't wait to hear what Santa brought all of you!

Love ya lots♥

Tasty Tuesday

 Yesterday, mom and I made Nonna's Ricotta Pie.  It does have chocolate bits in it so mom was very careful what I tasteTested.

The pie just out of the oven.  The eggs make it puff.   It will deflate a little bit as it cools.

After baking, mom and I went outside to get some nice cold fresh air!

She called me silly Dukey~

She called me handsome Dukey!

She finally got a great shot of my Cocker Spaniel smirk~

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!

Missy and Tommy will be here for dinner and for the opening of Christmas pressies!   I can't wait!

Love ya lots♥

Snow

 This snow was much different from my first snow.  This time it was fluffy and not so wet and more fun but mom says it's still not enough.

I got it!

I'm diving for it, mom!

I'm loving this snow!

Mom had boots on me before we came outside.  Sadly, we never got out of the house with four boots on.  That blur is my wagging tail.    It's always wagging.   I'm a happy boy!

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy and Sunny this week for Nature Friday~~

We have had a crazy week.   It was cold and then it turned mild for a few days and now it's back to cold and it's going to get even colder!

We found a pumpkin tossed into the woods~

We discovered that Miss Amy raised the price of a Christmas tree by five dollars.   It's been thirty dollars for a good long time!

I'm getting into the Christmas spirit on my walks!  Can you see my Rudolf nose?!☺

Happy Friday, everyone!

Love ya lots♥

The Better Choice

 The larger size boots arrived on Tuesday and mom went grocery shopping on Tuesday and came home with a nice surprise for me.

Can you tell which one I liked better?!

She tried the front feet boots on me to make sure they fit and they are a perfect fit!

Oopsie - I think I lost one already, mom☺

Christmas is sure getting close!

Love ya lots♥

Seriously??

 You're kidding, right?

I do love those bacon treats, mom!

What Could Have Been

 Mom and I went out for business at 5am this morning and the snow was falling and we were both so happy.  Not long after, it started to rain and it didn't stop raining until 10:30-ish.  

It doesn't look that wet, mom.

Just a few more sniffs before we head in~

Today could have been so much fun.  What a bummer~

I hope your Monday is going along better than mine is.

Love ya lots♥

Frosty Whiskers

 We had eighteen degrees out when we went for our walk yesterday.   Mom got this shot of me when we were back home of my frosty whiskers.   If you bigefy the picture, they look even more frosty!

We will be walking at eighteen degrees again today!

Happy Sunday!

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy and Sunny this week for Nature Friday~~

Our weather has been crazy this week.  It started out cold and then we got rain with warm temps and now it's back to cold.   

The only thing that we found on our walk worthy of a photo were these grasses~

Mom has African Violets and she was having trouble getting them to re-bloom.   They got fertilizer and they were kept on the dryer side and they are on pebbles and still no blooms so she went to Amazon to see how much grow lights cost.  She was pleasantly surprised to see that they are not pricey at all~

We're starting to see blooms FINALLY!

Happy Friday the 13th!

Love ya lots♥

Another Early Christmas Pressie

 This toy is the BEST!

Many years ago,  Airedale blogging friends sent the cow udder toy to Maggie for her birthday~

It lasted through the Mitch and Molly era but eventually, it had seen its better day.  

And now I have one.   Mom says that she will see how long the cow udder toy lasts for me!   Mom got it from Etsy if anyone wants one of their own.

Happy Thursday!

Love ya lots♥
