JUST STUFF....AND PICTURES.

We received our first Christmas Card of the season.  Mom is mailing some of ours out today.  She has to go buy more cards on her lunch hour.

Yesterday Mom asked me if i wanted to go with her on a walk out to Lake Sugema.  I jumped for joy and the crazies went even more crazy cos they didn't get to go.  It was only 28 outside so i wore my winter coat.  Mom did not take very good pictures cos it was so sunny outside.







I walked all around in the small grassy area, ....mostly Mom just let me enjoy being on a walk, and enjoy the fresh air, even though it was cold.  When Mom said it was time to go, I did my little pug scream cos I didn't want her to put me in the car.  I didn't understand we were both getting to cold!

THEN when we got home Dad was just pulling in the driveway from work.  The crazies were barking and jumping and jumping and barking and they even tried to rip my little coat off, cos they wanted to go for their walk.  Mom got them both dressed warm and decided she would just walk them downtown to the river and back.

Well, we have new neighbors that just moved in next door.  We haven't said hi to them yet, cos we haven't really seen them. We have just heard them.  And we bark when we are outside in Alcatraz cos they also have a dog and sometimes we hear him.

Mom saw a smaller version of a log chain on the front porch and her heart kinda did a flip flop.  She was a little worried.  So anyway she walked the crazies down the driveway and she could see the new dog next door at the window barking and carrying on.  A boy about the age of 11 came outside to get on his bike and Mom said hi but he didn't talk to her. The crazies said Hi also, but he didn't talk to them either.

So they walked downtown and Maggie was in the lead, and Gussie walked beside Momma cos he is practicing his guarding moves, it got pretty cold with the wind coming off the river, so they headed back home.  Everyone was pooped, when they started walking across the street to go up our driveway the dog next door somehow turned into two dogs next door at the window barking and scratching at it. They started to hit the glass and it sorta scared Mom a little.  She hurried the crazies down the driveway and the next thing she knows they were at their porch glass hitting it hard and Mom thought they were coming after them all.  Her first thought was thank goodness she didn't lock the car cos she could just throw mags and gussie in the car and they would be safe.  Instead she hurried them in the yard and got them in the house.  Mom was pretty shook up all night long, and hopes the new dog or dogs next door will never get loose when we are outside in alcatraz cos they would just jump over it.  She told our Dad but he wasn't concerned.  She told him from now she she would just go out the front door with us, and forget about the driveway or just put us in the car and drive us out to the fairgrounds or lake. 

We are thankful mom only has to work three days this week.

  3. We sure hope the crazy dogs next door were just hyper excited at being in a new neighborhood and will settle down and be friendly neighbors! Glad you all got walkies in though! Me and Stanley got a good walk in and my paw did fine. Seems everybody is sending their cards early this year. Mom is not even close to getting our cards ready. I gotta tell her she's gonna embarrass us by being last.

    Your Pals,

    Murphy & Stanley

  13. You look adorable in your little jacket.

    I hope that your neighbours turn out to be great people! I had to look up what a log chain is, but I hope they don't use it to tie their dogs up outside for long periods.

  14. Hi Stella Rose,
    I think the blue waters where you walked today is so pretty, but it just seems so cold. Do you keep your tail up when it gets cold- or do you tuck it down? I hope you were toasty warm as you walked with your mom.
    Gosh- those crazy neighbor dogs- sound scary to us. We would all be very afraid. We will keep our paws crossed that they are friendly- but we don't think it would be good to get tooo close,, I know your mom's nerves must have been scrambled all over.
    love
