Chloe here...

I was just checking out my gardens minding my own business

when the rains came...

and I had to put on my CanadaPooch raincoat and brave the weather!

Hopefully we don't get as much as Florida got over the past couple of days!!

Happy Monday!

Dachshund Nola, and You Did What With Your Weiner.

Hope you all have a fabulous Sunday!

Black N White Sunday: Still Snowed In Version

Hope your weekend is going well!!

Walking in our White Wonderland!

We  have a freakin' ton of snow!!  We have so much snow that we are attempting to show you in these photos...but it is difficult to tell just how deep it is.  We will get some more pictures of the back yard if we can tomorrow!! 

LadyBug decided that she wanted to venture out into the DEEP snow!!  Chloe tried to follow along, but lo and behold...got STUCK in the Christmas Lights that were hanging down in the snow...from all the wind we have been having.  We were glad that mama had put our warm Canada Pooch jackets on...as we had to wait while she went inside to get boots on to retrieve Chloe!!

Miss Chloe has decided that it is BEST to stay up on the porch where her feet do not get entangled in WIRES!!

As you can see....Miss LadyBug has decided to go BACK down the ramp and go see what mischief she can get herself into!!

Hope you are enjoying your weather!! 

Saturday Pet Blog Hop: The Snow Filled Edition

Can you EVEN believe that Mama let us go out in that FREEZING cold snow...completely nekkid????  What was she thinking???  Apparently she was NOT thinking.  Wonder how she'd feel if we made her go out without a coat in this weather...we already KNOW the answer to that!!

We totally forgave her though...she had a nice warm dinner for us when we came in...all homemade!!  And we are due for yet another five inches tomorrow!!

Help Wanted...

 My house is in a total state of disarray right now.  I am feeling totally overwhelmed and don't know where to turn!!

 I am in the midst of decorating the inside...fortunately the outside is done!! 

 Miss Chloe is offering a very welcoming paw...as you can tell!! Does she look like she is Sleeping On The Job??????

 So...the trees are looking a bit bare right now...still have to put some decorations on!!

 Lots and lots of dishwashing!!  But at least the end is near!!  Then I can put everything back on the shelves!!

 I am in the process of writing Christmas cards...some are done...my pet blog ones are in process and will be mailed within a couple of days!

 See??  Everywhere I turn....another tree needs decorating!

Definitely could use a little help here...by the time I get it all done, it will be time to take it all down again!!

Happy Monday!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy.

The Hurricane Sandy Visit

Here's a few views of what we did while waiting for "Sandy"...

 Here are the girlz in the morning...wondering what on earth all that noise is???? (WIND)

 I think the Weather Channel had us all hyped up over this coverage!!  But I headed out to the store for "supplies".  Always better to have stuff you don't need then to need stuff and not have it!!  I wish my daugher would listen to me about this!!!

 This is what the girlz do when Mama is shopping!!  Nothing.  They. Just. WAIT.

 And then the monsoons came...tons of water was streaming in through the front windows...we have lived in this house twenty years and never had this problem before!!!  We were not expecting that!!!

 Very glad that the power stayed on as I was rotating towels through the spin cycle of the washer and the dryer...over and over and over again as it kept RAINING and RAINING!!

 I can assure you this was not fun...but at least we had power!!  Those around us were not so lucky!!

 The next day was spent caulking all around those windows so that should we ever get rain coming straight on out of the NORTH again...we won't have this same problem!!

Chloe still resting...she really hasn't been mobile for almost a week now...we are trying to keep her calm.  It was difficult with the noise from the storm.

Our hearts go out to those of you who don't have water or heat or food or gas...STILL.  Sure hope it gets turned on soon!!  They are still saying another week or so here.  My sister in law in NJ has no clue when their power will be back on.  Fortunately they have generators.  My brother in CT had a generator installed in his house after the last hurricane.  This time, he was so happy he didn't need it!!

Always a good idea to think ahead of time and prepare for disasters...one never knows!!
