What's in Front of Your Woodstove

     Patiently they wait to go out again.  It's that time of day, late afternoon. 

I procrastinate. We are going to get wet.

     Weather still tosses about.  Snowflakes have transformed into rain drops. It gives the illusion air is warming, but wind  makes temperature feel cold.  It is a cold and damp day. Plain and simple. It's a befuddled day of mixed up weather. Winter wrestles Spring.  She doesn't want to give in just yet.

Winter - Still Here - And Canines Celebrate

They can't wait to get outside.  JOY.

April Winter: 
The roads were to snowy, so I had to walk to the barn this morning. The dogs looked longingly as I departed, and disappeared down the driveway. In truth. I wanted to stay with them, or have them join me.  When I returned home (I got a ride) they burst out the kitchen door, and took off in all directions. Chasing snow flakes, spinning, twirling, hurling themselves at one another. 

SNOW, SNOW, SNOW, and MORE SNOW! 
They Cheered.  

Winter is STILL here!

And then they crash.

Walk with Pearl, Bode and Gemma

    
     Met up with Karen and Gemma/Pumpkin for a walk with Pearl and Bode/Casper.  Brother and Sister from Pearl's 2014 litter with Link (Chucklebrook Bobolink by Jayhawk).

Luna and Bode visit for a week

It's a family reunion 

Luna (Willow Sunshine and Cleo's sister - Luna is the singleton out of Nash and Pearl). Bode out of Pearl and Link, he has a striking resemblance to pearl.   All are settling after a rash of romping and getting to know one another.  Willow Sunshine seems to have taken the role of disciplinarian.  Telling those who are too out of control to settle.  She also likes to Flirt with Bode (we will over look they are half siblings).  It's funny, no one batted an eye when Splash the lamb came bounding out the door.

Luna and Bode Visit April 4th 2018

April 1st - Cleo Visits for a Month while Izzy and Sam Visit

 

 Izzy, Halo, Sam (black lab)

     Most of the snow has melted.  What remains is wet packing snow in patches.  The dogs celebrate in leaps and bounds of the coming spring, and continue to seek out those meager patches of snow.  One last winter roll.  Then it's onto swimming!
