Holiday and Valentines and Snow Play
Thursday, February 13, 2020 at 4:26PM 
On days like this we have inside play and...
outside play. Weather is snowball building event but we still allow the dogs to have fun. We are just raking those snowballs out and off.
The floors are saturated so much so that I took my socks off. Worse are wet socks vs. no socks.
Nathan decided to walk dogs 2 by two. He was doing this for hours. LOL It's his day off and I swear he is still sleeping. I have to keep reminding him that I can't lift dogs especially large ones till this back issue goes. I took less pain pills today but hurt more so who is the fool here.
As I am typing Willow is driving me nuts as she loves pistachios so I unshell and feed and it takes forever but she looks at me to say - I love them as much as you do especially those Costco ones you got and hey the bag is huge so...well unshell another - will you? I do cause - don't we all?
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and well as it is also Family weekend we are still very busy. Besides Nathan hates holiday crowds so he went and bought us lobster rolls to have today. Yum! Can we have Chinese tomorrow -- I know shut up - you expect too much. For us holidays are when we work the most.
Tomorrow we are in for an extreme cold alert. This is a warning that if you and your dog goes out as it should be BOTH of you, if they are lifting a paw - it is too cold for them. They can get frostbitten.
I have a friend that is heading out into a safari for the next 2 weeks and sleeping in tents. She does a lot of these trip. She showed me a photo from her hotel. It is lush green and she says humid as ever at 35c. Good time to be sleeping in a tent - NOT!
Yesterday I heard about a dog we dearly love - thought he had a stroke or a seizure. Turns out we think its his back but he is doing well. I am thankful but realize he must have been in pain for quite sometime as each time I combed or touched his back end - he was not happy. I always had to go slow and be creative. I am thankful and both of us are on pain pills for back pain. The dog and I sharing our moments. LOL
Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow. May it be a happy day and not a freezing your ahem off day. Weather people as they are... well you never know. Time will tell!

Great action photos! Ozzie is having a blast, as always Please give him a kiss from us. We cannot believe he will be 6 years old next week.
I hope your back continues to improve.
Just went out for the last poo break, oh,is it COLD!
Take care of your back, yup, drugs are a good thing also rest, if you can find the time.
We are at the end of our flu/colds so it's been lots of mini outdoor breaks for ours, can't do walks or we'll be ill longer.
Gentle hugs to the little doggy, take your meds, you will feel much better😘💝
We should all give our dogs a hug tonight. I saw the pics on the news today of those 46 dogs that were rescued. How heartbreaking ! I have never seen dogs that badly matted in my life. Thank goodness they are now safe and being cared for !!
Maureen: I have seen dogs matted this bad unfortunately. I am head of rescue havanese. I have seen legs deformed due to people keeping a dog in a wire crate 24/7. I am glad these dogs (not havanese) have been distributed and well cared for. I hope they do not have any underlying issues. As the owner has died it will be a quick transfer to a forever home. When the owner is fighting the retrieval, it costs more money to care for them as they have to wait till after a court case is completed. Many do not realize this. These dogs have been shaved down, medically checked and will be sold. This is a rescue story that will most likely have a good ending. I have heard already that most already have homes already selected. Sad story but happy for the journey the dogs will undertake. Hopefully it will be a new adventure with much love. The dogs deserve that!
Ellen: Yes and have you seen the dogs he is playing with. I am still under medication. Think cause I have to pick up dog dishes, dogs, go insist that Jesse comes in - I am aggravating it. It's Valentine's Day. I may have a gin and tonic. We shall see!
Dorothy: Yes mighty cold - brr....
