Sorry I haven’t been keeping you up to date about my shenanigans, it’s just been kind of busy here. I’ve hardly even had a moment to relax.
(ok, well I have done some relaxing.)
But today was the first real snow day we’ve had here this season, so it was time to have some fun!
brrrrr… this stuff is colder than I remembered, but still fun!
ps: I got an email from Min today, she was heading to the beach – she doesn’t know what she’s missing!
So first Aurthur came to visit then my Auntie Lisa came from Washington, which is always good ’cause she gives me lots of treats and we go exploring.
This time, we went up into the mountains.
It was a frickin’ elk safari..
they were everywhere!
but i took care of ’em !
So Mom said she was going to do a favor for somebody at work and take care of their dog this weekend, but this is what showed up…
That’s not a dog!!
But everybody is going on and on about how cute he is. Whatever! He’s short and squeaky and annoying!
I’m much cuter!
My non-friend / cousin, Min, moved away this week. Well, not moved forever but for a long time, her parents are going to work in Florida for awhile. They came to say their goodbyes – or rather their “see ya laters.”
I’m kinda sad about it ’cause even tho we’re non-friends, we go on the greatest adventures together! But mom says it will be sledding season soon, so let Min have the sunshine I’ll take the snow any day!
It’s chilly & rainy & gray outside..
and that’s just fine with me.
Pinky has called in reinforcements, there’s a hedgehog army in my house..
holy crap!
I may be outnumbered but I’m not scared!
just more hedgehog heads to chomp on!
I went to church today! It was the annual “Blessing of the Animals” for St. Francis of Assisi, Patron Saint of Animals and the Environment.
It was a beautiful day for a blessing on the hillside with the snow covered mountain peaks in the background. There were lots of people and dogs, and cats, and I saw one mouse, and even one horse!!I was very well-behaved during the ceremony and the prayer:
Gracious God, Thank you for blessing our lives with animals.
Tender of heart and pure in soul,
they touch us in so many ways.
Commitment, unconditional love, faith and forgiveness,
inherent traits never questioned nor compromised,
yet shared and bequeathed freely
upon any and all who offer them the same.
It is with animals that we are taught tolerance and diversity,
for their uniqueness serves to brighten our existence.
They are an incomparable gift from God,
one that we open and rediscover daily,
showing us how to make the world a little better,
and our society a bit more humane.
God, thank you for blessing our lives with animals.
For it is within these divine creatures that we rediscover
the true meanings of your teachings and infinite wisdom. Amen.
I got blessed by a Pastor, I got a St. Francis medal, then I got cookies! It was a religious experience.
Aloha! Well my family FINALLY came back from Hawaii which means I got treats! Their last stop before the airport was at the Hawaii Doggie Bakery and got puppy pupu’s (in Hawaii appetizers are called pupu’s)! I got some Fish-n-Poi Pup Treats and even a doggie bento box.
I think I’ll have this “begg roll”!
Tasty!
Mahalo!
My mom gets back from Hawaii tomorrow, but I’m still on vacation…
geee I really miss them…
can’t you tell!?
Me & Min are lookin’ for trouble!
