Meltdown

Here is the gallery.

We had a funny moment today. We were out with the dogs and the snow slid off of the bottom deck gazebo. The dogs scattered wondering what this avalanche was. 

So Nathan brought all the dogs in and with the back door open proceeded to take a broom to the gazebo on the top deck. Off it slid into Nathan and into the house. 

Ella had snowballs this morning. I was a tad irritated as I wish wet snow would LEAVE. No one else seemed to get them. I am not sure why.

I am late getting the blogs done. It has been a crazy day. Come Tuesday I have 10 pups to wash as Wednesday they head out to the vets. Saturday they have their 8 week visit. 

I think I am recovering from the Saffron experience. I have a back door that closes. I haven't eaten a decent meal in days. LOL But things are getting normal.

Last night I cuddled in deeply with the dogs and at 630 Stormy woke me up then one by one they each licked my face and stood on me till I said okay, I am up. I hate it but I love it. I hate getting woken from a deep sleep with my chest getting depressed but I love that they love me enough to be affectionate and wake me up. Okay, it is to their benefit but I choose to think it's pure love. :-)

Magic was here getting ready for Chinese New Year. 

2019 is the year of "ji hai" (or gei hoi in Cantonese).
While "hai" represents the earthly branch symbol that stands for the pig, "ji" represents the heavenly stem for yin and earth. That's why they call 2019 the year of the earth pig.

May the New Year bring you everything life has to offer.

Magic looks so beautiful as usual after her professional rooming. The weather must have warmed up enough to cause the avalanche from the roof of your gazebo.

Rusty was soaking as we walked through deep puddles along the street but it was so balmy that I had to go. We heard something last night on our roof. It could have been an avalanche too. Crazy weather.
