I had to do a lot of calling because the dogs wanted to swim out to the platform in the icy water and eat the Cormorant. I am afraid she would have eaten them.
It is interesting that there is 2+ feet of snow up by the house but not on the banks of the river.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Late Breaking News: Punxsutawney Phil did NOT see his shadow at Gobbler’s Knob today, Feb. 2, 2016, Groundhog Day, and so Spring is just around the corner.

Funny weather predicting creatures. I like them. I used to have one that lived in the woods behind my previous house. He liked to stand on top of the hill and watch the world go by. They have some interesting names: Land Beaver, Whistlepig, Woodchuck, Wood-shock, Groundpig, Whistler, Thickwood Badger, Canada Marmot, Monax, Moonack, Weenusk, and the Red Monk. The name “Thickwood Badger” was given in the Northwest to distinguish the animal from the Prairie Badger. Monax was an Native American name of the woodchuck, which meant “the digger.” Babies are called “Chucklings” (I love that!). These are a North American critter and I don’t believe you see them else where in the world.

Have you ever met a groundhog? What do you call them? Will there be 6 more weeks of winter in your neck of the woods? – DogDaz

2 PM Friday 8 AM Saturday 8 AM Sunday 29.2 inches of snow Lost the fence.
This record breaking blizzard was not fun. The dogs want the grass back!!!! Finally, Louise taught Sofie how to make a path to the pine trees where the snow was a little less deep. Happily spring is only 47 days, 3 hours, 7 minutes, and 24 seconds away (time now 23:22 EST).
What mischief did you get into today?

After a romp in the tall snow, Lulu looks like a puppy.
Have a great Sunday!

This is one of my all time favorite shots of Noel on the cat tree staring down a toy that is just a wire with some card board on the end. I figure it looks like a bug. Nono is a big starer. Do your furballs see things when nothing is there?
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

It took months, but I am glad to say (knock wood) that the current medicine, Clomicalm (1/2 tab 2X a day), is allowing her to sleep through the night. (Also using Adaptil spray on a bandanna every 4 hours.) When she sleeps, Mommy sleeps (thank you thank you thank you). She is known to break through all previous medicines, so I want to give it several weeks before I jump up and down with joy, but a few days of sleep, especially through the blizzard last weekend, makes a world of difference. Understand that sleeping does not mean she is not anxious; just this morning, when I awoke at 5 AM, she was lying in bed panting. There were no stressers that I was aware of, so I am still perplexed.
Now that we are sleeping better, I can start to address some of her stress behaviors and see if we can get separation anxiety, barking her head off at everything, and cat chasing, under control. The Behaviorist has no recommendations at this point, so I guess I am on my own. Gosh, I love this dog and have every hope that together, with modern chemistry, and significant love and training, we can find peace once again.
I will keep you updated.

Louise does not really like any one (except maybe Mom) touching her. But Sofie, ever since she was a puppy, has made it her mission in life to cuddle up to Louise. Secretly maybe Louise likes it, but I don’t really think so. BOL (Bark Out Loud)

Sofie is not a big fan of the car.
Rarely is it just her without Louise.
She had the whole back sit to herself.
She does not look amused.
Have a wonderful Sunday.

Nine is taking a line from Godzilla’s playbook and terrorizing the Christmas town.
