03.11.2024 Spring has Sprung - Maybe!

We have moved out clocks forward - spring forward - and lost one hour of sleep. It has been so warm that my daffodils and lilies are about two inches high. We have had a lot of rain and am still looking on Amazon for a couple of fish or turtles to put in the ready-made pond in the basement. And last night, we had snow! Just a little, but snow nonetheless. When it rained very hard over the week end I had thought that I might like one more snowfall. While AI was thinking in terms of a couple of inches, I guess a light dusting counts. 

The pups have bene quite busy. Shorty loves the outdoors and with his very thick coat, he stays nice and warm - except for his nose. Fionnegan and Gunnarr just want to be where I am, indoors or outside, they are happy boys.

But fair to say we are all looking forward to the longer and warmer spring days.

Fresh flowers in the house are always a welcome site. The clivia is now in bloom and greets visitors in the doorway. Interesting enough, the dogs do not bother it. Good boys.



Fionnegan and Gunnarr had a spa day yesterday. Here are a couple of pictures before the haircuts. They do cry as I leave them and are just as excited when I return. You would think that after all of these years, they know I will be back!


Here are Fionnegan and Gunnarr sitting on their favorite chair.  They have just had their teeth brushed and their coats brushed too. Have to look good for the groomer.



Shorty stayed home with me and had his own grooming. I found some waterless shampoo and pour it on a facecloth and give him a good rubdown. He does really like massages and so he was very happy.  He even held still while I had to brush the shampoo out of his coat. This shampoo smells like mango and his coat is nice and fluffy.  He really is a good boy.


A pre-spa date milk bone for Fionnegan and Gunnarr.


Gunnarr eats fast, his is all gone.


And of course, one for Shorty too.


After the spa date the pups were excited to be home and hungry. 


Shorty loves the camera!


Do you have Spring fever? Are you ready for the warm sun, flowers in the gardens and blossoms on the tress? It will be here soon! Hope you all are well.

Until next time........................
