Snow


Late yesterday afternoon the snow started coming down pretty heavy.  This is looking outside of our bedroom window.    The clothes line to the left is where Gracie runs when she goes out.  Last year when we had our 3 foot storm she didn't get very far...  only a small area where I shoveled.  

This snow wasn't so bad.  
Less than a foot. 


But it was pretty.

I wonder if we'll get a whopper storm 
this winter like last years.

Everyone Has A Story

Books

I finally finished the book I was reading.  
It's not like I don't have any time on my hands.

 I love a good memoir, and this was one.



I'm not sure why I prefer reading memoir.  I guess I enjoy getting to know people, and how they lived and what made them who they are today.  I like lighthearted stories... ones that are fun and witty - A slice of life.  

Everyone has a story.  

So now, where do I go from here? 
 Finishing a good book is great... 
but then there's the task of finding an 
equally good one to move on to.

Any suggestions?

A Dogs Life


Dear Diary,

  'A dogs life' 
It's a cushy life if you're a dog... at least that's what they say.  All us dogs do is eat, sleep, beg food, play ball, and potty. 

Ha!  I'd like to know what dog that is.  Walk in my paws once...  see how a dog really lives. 

First of all...  I have a job to do every single day.  I watch the house.  It's not easy either, what with strangers walking up and down the road and buses, mail carriers, and other animals  lurking about.


And then, if one of your peoples get sick.  Guess who's nurse?  


A dog's work is never done.  Oh, it's not the keeping the feet warm or the face wet with kisses that's the hard part.  


It's the worry.  Will my people i.e. Mom or Dad ever get better and play ball with me again?


It snowed out today.  Just a few inches Dad said.  More later. Hmm.  I can't really be thinking of that right now.


Even though I'd like to go scamper about and forget all my cares...


I have a job to do.  And while I'm being nurse to Mom and helping her get better...


These guys have promised to watch
 the house for me.


*Yawn*  
Like I said before... 
 It's not easy being me.


But Mom says I'm doing a wonderful job and she's starting to feel better already.  Gracie.
