We Missed Some Special Days

 Yes we did, we are wondering if we need to send away for a better organized petcretary...or maybe we need to send *her* to school for learning to pay more attention to details, BOL! Just kidding, as she was doing a lot of not doggy things this week...lots of snow shoveling, household chores, working, (She works 3 - 4 days a month), shopping for herself and hubby, and also for a friend undergoing chemo...and also she visited that lady for a whole afternoon, braving awful roads, esp her own street, as she lives even more rural than we do. (Her friend is the wife of our lumberjacking friend...whom we've known as long as we've been married; and this is her third bout of cAncer, sheesh, ☹️ )

The weather dudes say we are going into the deep freezer for several days, starting tonight...and snow is coming again as well. Gads, we are going through loads of the salt/sand mixture petcretary uses to keep the walkway from being slippery...she doesn't want to fall and break something like last winter...and she for sure doesn't want our pawppy to crash either...he has enough problems with mobility as it is.

And the bird feeders are emptying very quickly these days...the birds are VERY hungry in the cold season. We have suet, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and two other feeders with mixed seeds...there are a lot of birds flocking to our yard for the tasty tidbits they love and need. And so many varieties, it's fun for her to watch them, we and our peeps can see them from the kitchen and dining room windows. We pups like to watch that area too, in case a squirrel might come by...then we scramble in a big hurry to go out there to chase him/her away! Even though we know they, too are hungry...when the snow levels are not too deep, they dig little holes in the grass to find all the walnuts and acorns they've stashed there in the fall.

Anyways, we are already past the halfway mark of January, wow, time keeps on flying past us! Soon it will be time for that notorious groundhog weather predictor, BOL!!

Well, we missed Dress Up Your Pet Day, and also Hat Day, so petcretary looked through our huge archives and found some flashbacks to fill that gap. And of course some others, not so old.

Dressed up, ca 2019; Benji wasn't quite a year old yet...

Hat day, ca, 2020

We can't wait until we can see all our grass again!

Benji, after romping in some deep snow, he collected some snowballs, BOL!

I, Dalton, would rather stay warm inside and try to get all the treats out of thise treat holder/puzzle.

That's all folks!

We are joining up with the Sunday Selfies at The Cat On My Head, whom we thank for being  our wonderful hosts for this weekly blog hop.
