Our Leaf-Peeper Adventure

Nina and Momma put our big dog beds and cozy blankies in the back seat and we went for a long drive up through "The Park".... the park ???

There was no park- at least not for us.... all we saw were trees.  Sigh.

I heard Nina say "Algonquin Park" and I thought we'd be going on a "big dog walk"... but we didn't. 

This is me wondering where the park was.....

It was nice to be with  my family, but I really wanted to go to the park.  We got out a few times to do our business but Momma was looking for  a moose.  Moose? Really? 

We did get extra treats, and cheese curds.  I LOVE cheese.  I think it must be my favourite thing of all.

Here is where we left a deposit.... well, we didn't really leave it... Nina picked it up in a bag and we brought it home.  That seems silly to me.  I made a big effort and she brought it?  How does that make any sense?

And this is what I could see out the window.... trees.  We have trees at home.  Nice trees.

But Momma and Nina kept going "ooh" and "aaaahhh" ... a new song? Hmmm.

And so our adventure that took all day, ended up at home.  We doggies were exhausted from all that  napping. whew!

But I love being with  my family and if that is where they go, that is where I go.

Leaf-peeping, who knew?

My new pea-pee path....

Hi, it's me Lucy again.  Not much new till now - I've been busy checking out the neighbourhoods squirrels and cats.  Seems the cats are not that friendly but I don't know why.  Perhaps I don't understand their language... that s-s-s-sss does not make sense.

But enough of the cat talk.  I have news.

As you may have seen, I am close to the ground and when I go out to do my business, I hate it when the grass tickles my bits.  So I go next door to J's driveway 'cause it is all little stones... pea gravel, they say.

And when it is dark, I scoot over there quick as a bunny before my Nina can catch me.... I leave my deposit on the gravel.

So, enough of that says Nina....  you have already made short work of the grass all winter, you need your own pee-path.

Here I am on my way back from next door - as you can see, I am going around  my own garden 'cause it is yukky.

Nina and Auntie Jen cut some lines in the garden.  Looks okay to me, but now what?

 See how Tessa and I made a mess of the lawn?  It's all brown from the long winter's business.

 There was a lot of grunting and groaning - I guess it was hard work. Me? I was busy with my napping.

Now look !  I have my own pea-gravel, pee path... and if you look really close, you can see my first deposit - right in the middle... I am very small, so is  my deposit, but Nina was clapping for me ! and gave me an extra treat for doing my business on the pea-pee path.... 

No more forays to the drive-way next door.... I have my own.  yee haw....

My job....

My Nina has the flu.

So my job is to sit with her in the big yellow chair by the window and snooze with her.

So no more posts for a day or two.

We and Uncle "T"

I forgot to tell you.  My Uncle T came for Christmas and he took us all for a walk.  Me, Tessa, Harriett and Theo.

But it was too cold and our feet froze and he had to take turns carrying me and Harriett.  The other two were just being goofy.

                                                         This is us on Christmas day.

                                                   See? Harriett is headed home already.

                                           No wonder our feet were icy, just look at this !!

                     I'm getting Nina to call Jimmy Choo for some new boots... my paws are cold.

                                                    Time for extra treats and a nap.

Hey, it's me Lucy again.  I've been too busy to write.  Naps, mostly - too danged cold, says Nina.  She is right 'cause the snow freezes between my toes and I cannot hold two paws up at the same time.

Got the cuteness down pat though... one sad look and Nina will carry me for a bit.

Here I am in my new coat she made.  She tells us that the inside is cat-shmere.  I like cats - so what did she do with the cat?  Oh dear...Not sure what that is, but it is warm and cozy.  I saw her cutting up some sweaters when she made our coats.  I pretended I was napping in the big yellow chair but I was watching.  She sighed a lot....

I have a cat-shmere collar and lining.. and a snappy blue "fleas" on the outside. Fleas?? no way.... well, I am warm and cozy, "fleas" or not... and it has a butterfly too and a little 'grinchy' pocket - whatever that is...

I LOVE  my new coat, it's not stiff like my old one. I think I look adorable..

Here is Tessa in hers.  There was a lot more sighing and a lot more sweaters cut up to make one so big, but she looks pretty good, too.

We are getting ready to go walking with our friends... to the park... 

so, later....

Dear Santa....

Dear Santa

It's all about me.

love, Lucy

Oh, it isn't?  Nina says no matter how cute I am, it really isn't all about me.  I say, why not?

Cute  works for me.

I mean, look - I have a pillow that says that... so it must be true.

Besides, I've already done my shopping.... Mama says she can't believe I actually spent my own money - she thinks I am saving for my Fiat... which I am, but she doesn't know that I know how to get my Nina to buy things for me so I can keep my money.  Works for me.

Gotta scoot, time for my nap.

It's a Puppy party...

I told you about my friends - The Interlopers- of course I mean that in the nicest way.  I love my puppy-pals and today we even played.  Well, not Harriett, she only plays with her 'brother' Theo, but I played with Theo too.

Here we are - pretending that we didn't toss all the toys everywhere (tee hee)...of course, puppies giggle.

Theo (or Mr. Lips, 'cause he kisses all the time.... Mommas says he licks, but I think he is really kissing)
is wearing his aqua sweater that matches his collar - and- get this.... he has an aqua feather in his ear.... pretty handsome, huh?

I am wearing my indoor sweater that Nina made for me from a soft blanket and the lining is cashmere - whatever that is.... you can read all about it on The Cashmere Cowgirl blog that Nina writes.... (www. blogger.com - the cashmere cowgirl).

Nina took Theo and Harriett for a walk to do some business. (hey - what about me? I have lots of smelling business to do - checking my tree-mail and leaving messages... sigh, later....)

Harriett still misses her Momma and will only come out for treats.  She did let Nina take her picture but I am not sure she was too happy.

Isn't she just the sweetest? Nobody minds if she looks a bit put-out.... she is really pretty too.

Tessa is not sure what to think because I think maybe Harriett is afraid of her because she is soooo big so sweet little Harriett growls and Tessa thinks... (well.. who knows what Tessa thinks?? ) and so she barks with her outside-voice-bark and scares poor Harry-belle.

See what I mean? Look how scary she is.... (she isn't really, Nina says she is a big sweetheart and we love her so...)

Oops, gotta scoot, I think I saw a car drive by - who could that be???
