A Cute Guest ~ Selfie Session

 Today we are taking a break, since Petcretary has to be at her work. But one of her co-workers has a young puppy, a real fluff ball! She loves everyone she meets and the lady hopes to train her as another therapy pup for us, and she could even help the lady do her work with all the residents she sees...she works in the therapy department, how appropriate. Her name is Frieda, she's part Poodle and part Aussie. Looks like she might have some Maltese as well. She's now about 6 months old, but the pics we are showing you are from about two months ago. She likely looks a bit more mature now, BOL!!

Her Mom took this picture just before about a month before the following ones.

We think Frieda knows how to take a great selfie!

Warming Up Sunday Selfies

 While we had a lot of snow at Christmas, is totally gone now, and the grass is looking quite green, and the temps have been as high as 54F on a couple of days. The natural world is going to get very mixed up...and get a rude surprise if the proper seasonal temps and weather don't come back...though we would prefer spring, well, nature is supposed to do what its supposed to do!

Anyways, when it was still cold here, we got to put on our new coats...to get and stay warm and cozy. They are thick, and wrap us up quite well. So we took some selfies, and then we put an ussie into a snowy background....Brrr!

Our snow a couple of weeks ago, *did* look almost like this!

Here's the original ussie:

We are hopping along with many others in the Sunday Selfies!

Welcome 2023! Happpy New Year!

 Yes-siree! We have entered yet another  New Year! We hope and pray it will be a good year, filled with many blessings, health and happiness.

Happy New Year to all!

It was pouring rain when petcretary found some time to take our New Year's pictures, so the lighting is bad...and due to lack of a lot of time, she 'cheated' and used some prefabricated frames. Not sure why we look so serious for a happy day, BOL! (We were not too thrilled to be 'decorated', even it was only for a few minutes, and somehow we don't much care for that little thing she points at us...she calls it a phone...a phone that takes pictures?? Well, at least it is not as big and threatening as her regular camera, which she seems to have put into retirement, BOL!)

PS: A note from petcretary.

I’m very behind in visiting/commenting, so I will just resume at some time, though I have read through all the missed posts. You have not been forgotten to lay in the dusty archives...Greetings for a Happy New Year, and we hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. If you have sent us cards we thank you from the bottom of our doggy hearts (and so does Petcretary), and we hope you have received ours, we sent some by snail mail and a lot by email…so some of you may have received a double set! BOL! The card we sent out is in our Christmas Day post in case you still need to snag it…
To those who sent us cards from the Jacquie Lawson site, thank you so much! I will open/read/view them as soon as I can…hopefully before Valentine’s Day!

Today is the First Sunday Selfie Blog Hope of 2023!! Thanks Kitties Blue, for being such faithful hosts, each and every week! Happy New Year to you all!

In Memory of Kessy

A few days ago we read this post from   inhannover in which we found out that dear Kessy suddenly left for the RB. So sad, and so close to the holidays, making it doubly sad...(The post is in German, so most of you will have to put it into a translator...but English replies are fine...)

We made this memento in her honor...

Kessy

We are sure she would love to hear from anyone with kind words of sympathy and condolences. We are sure her Merlin, her Birman senior kitty must be a lonely fellow now...

Fly free, Kessy, you will be loved and cherished forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved you.

 

We are joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, because we are thankful that we can make these mementos for others, with petcretary's help; we have some ourselves and its comforting to know how much others DO care.

Happy Gotcha Day, Benji!

Today is Benji's 4th Gotcha Day! How time flies.

Have a great day, sweet pup!

We are joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop...we don't have  many words... but they're happy ones!
