02.14.2021 Happy Valentine's Day - St Valentine's Day

 It has been a while since I last posted. So much for new year resolutions. But Shorty has been active on his blog - mydogShorty.blogspot.com, so I guess that I have done some blogging. Look for cute pictures of him and his brothers.

We have been very busy, especially these last two weeks when I have had the opportunity to hone my shoveling skills. There was even too much snow for Shorty to make his path for Fionnegan and Gunnarr so I had to make paths for them. They followed me like little ducklings and looked so cute. Regretfully, there are no pictures of them walking behind me, step by step as I shoveled.

Shorty also hurt his leg running but is now back to normal chasing squirrels and playing with Fionn and Gunnarr. They do seem to love rolling around in the snow - as long as it is not too deep.

Valentine's Day has a complicated  history. It was first established as a holiday in the 5th century (496 AD) to commemorate the live of the saint who was a clergyman in Rome. Rumor has it that he wrote a letter and signed it as "from Your Valentine" and this day has subsequently been associated with love. Be careful how you sign your letters!  So it is not a Hallmark holiday afterall!  

So for those of you with a special love in your life, so something special for them. And may  you all be safe and healthy in this era of the coronavirus pandemic.




Happy Valentine's Day to all of you.
