Here we are on Day 4 of the first month of the New Year, 2026...It's already speeding by!
Petcretary thought she was going to have time to 'go visiting' but the weather said no, (Lots of snow, sleet and ice to clean up, including a huge limb that came down in the bad wind storm we had a while back...she was back there to check the yard after that, and thankfully it didn't fall on anything, other than the leftover trees that were already on the ground, waiting to be cut up...now of course there is more; as well as she made those 3 mementoes and so on...(those gift mementoes sometimes take many hours...one day I should actually see how long they do take...but still, that won't stop me from doing them, I think it is a nice way to send out comfort to those who are grieving.)
Unfurbro-the-elder came over on New Year's Day to help us devour a yummy meal...and he also helped with clearing about 4 inches of new snow. I, Benji, had fun begging attention from him, BOL! Dalton avoided him..
And of course after unfurbro left, we had more snow...sigh..Petcretary cleaned it up on Saturday, took about an hour...we love the clean sidewalks. thanks for clearing them off.and pawppy will be able to walk better out there, now too...because she put down salt mixed with sand...the icicles and snowy roof will have to wait for another day, or maybe even a melt off, as the weather dudes say it might warm up by the end of the week into the 40'sF. (Should we believe such a long range forecast??)
Well, here are our first selfies of this year...we still had our New Year's bandanas on...and some beads, too, BOL!

Sadly, we have to start off the new year with Angels. So sad for their families and friends, especially at this supposed to be happy time of the year.
Anyways, petcretary made some mementoes to honor these new angels, and now we want the key to the RB gates thrown far away.
Please leave your comforting messages at their blogs, well, if you haven't already...

| Willow was a kitty of #1's friend, at the Poupounette. |
 |
| Laila was from Cat-a-Holic, of Laila and Minchie fame. |
 |
| Neville, from I Have Three Cats |
 |
| We know that Petcretary made all these mementoes as art work, so we will join the Caturday Art Blog Hop |
May it be filled with many blessings for all of us and our families.
And may we step bravely into this as yet unwritten chapter in history.
The weather here yesterday and today is simply put: awful. Sleet and snow and more of both of them...we stayed home from our New Year's Eve service at our church, as the roads were treacherous yet again. Our older son stayed put as well...he'll try tomorrow to get over here for a celebratory dinner.
Oh well, that's winter in Michigan....
 |
| We made an ussie to ring in the new year, as opposed to the bubbly that the pawrents were having, BOL! |
 |
| And Benji volunteered to make a special card for you all to celebrate the New Year. |
 |
| We are joining up with the others at Brian's Home for Thankful Thursday's Blog hop |
Today, Benji is dogabrating his 7th Gotcha Day with us! My, but those years have flown by!
If he could tell us in words, we think ha would say he's ever so glad he got to be gotted by us, his forever furmily!
 |
| It's Benji's Gotcha Day! |
 |
| This is what it looked like after we had 7+ inches of snow...all that remains is a few places where the snow was piled up after being shovelled off the walkway. Oh, yes I, Dalton, need to do a regular selfie, too: |
 |
| Yes, Dalton, we are all glad that you were gotted, too...and we know you were glad that Benji was gotted to be your furend. |
 |
| And no we didn't snag any creatures this past week...but we did woof our loud 'welcome' greetings to the neighbor's new labrador puppy, named Dot. We don't know why you shooed us inside, though... |
Sweet and beloved "Queen' Tama left her earthly family to join those angels that went before her.
We made this memento for her, Mom, Virginia, from The Poupounette.
