Smile and Cold

Oh Tenshi, I love your smile!

Here is today's gallery.

Marcie was here for the day. She's going to be coming weekly. She will love it so! She had a blast today! Brewer comes a few times a week and Harlow who always acts like she is still a puppy departs tomorrow night.

It was a good Friday.

It needs to snow as we have yellow snow no matter how much we shovel and clean up. Supposedly it is not supposed to snow till next Friday.

Laundry has decreased so Dennis felt the need to clean all beds, blankets - what have you. I mean why not. LOL

I am told by my hosting site that blogs should now go out in a timely fashion so you don't think the worse.

I think it is time for brushing out those departing and finding a recliner and chilling. I need news off and something good to watch. LOL

I did get the blog in the usual time today 😁
I must admit I was quite worried for a couple of days when I didn't receive anything from your blog.

I don't know about you but I can't stand watching the news any more! It just goes from bad to worse! On Wed when I saw the news about the protesting/rioting in Washington I just couldn't believe it! I just don't know what is happening to this world!!

Take care.

Tom was freaking out Wednesday evening, while watching CNN the broadcast signal went out twice😬, fearing the worst.
On a lighter note, does Dennis do laundry?😂😉

Dorothy: No, he collects it for me to do. I can understand re: Tom. heh

Ruth: I hear you. Hoping the blog issue is finished. Yes, the world has gone crazy - well at least in the states. Here too but in a different way. Maybe we need fun things to watch!

Any suggestions?

So relieved all is ok. Wed blog didn’t arrive for me until Thursday!
Watching PVR stuff and Netflix while quilting. Borrowing my neighbours’ Viszla for a dog fix (desperation time). Enjoy some relaxing down time!

Of course Tenshi is smiling because she is with her Talemaker family!!! I went on a little hike with Tenshi the day before so she might be pretty tired and not playing as her usual... I got her muttluks boots and she is adjusting to them. We hiked for 1.5 hours in Sunnybrook park, she even chased squirrels in her boots. Good grip on snow and ice. I was wearing my ice spikes so I can run with her in the snow/ice! I always find a lot of inner peace when I go out in the nature/park for hikes. And Tenshi loves to explore. The only problem with any kind of boots is tangling/knots on the paw... Darlah do you think I should cut her hair shorter on all her lower part of her limbs?

January 8, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterSylvia

I wouldn't cut. She looks gorgeous as she is and with your care - well bravo! After wearing boots, use a nylon slicker brush on her feet. It does not damage the hair like a metal one and therefore won't create more knots. You can also search for Cat Nylon Slicker Brush.

Ruth: If you have Netfix, here are some comedies.

January 9, 2021 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Thanks for the recommendations Darlah!

If anyone wants to watch a great suspense series with a great cast (Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, Donald sutherland)and superb acting look for The Undoing that streams through Crave. Really gets you!

Darlah: any particular brand you recommend for the slicker?
Ruth: for Netflix I just finished Queen’s gambit, it’s a series and I quite enjoy it. Even though I’m not a chess player, the series really captured me into enjoying it.

Darlah, have you ever used this as a Matt breaker?

January 10, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterSylvia

Sylvia: Yes - its a safe way to cut through a knot without scissors but you can get a cheaper one at Staples. See https://www.staples.ca/products/16446-en-staples-letter-opener

January 10, 2021 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Sylvia: I think wahl has one. Search for nylon slicker.

January 10, 2021 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Ruth: Thanks for the suggestions. We should all post so the rest of us know what is worthwhile.
