rainy morning

hi every bloggie!

It's a wet one this morning.

But I'm out in it.

Somewhat traumatized!

And a little bit pissed.. (oops pardon my language Murray)

Oh but here comes my ball, mr. harry funballs! All's better now.

frost + brain= short circuit city

hi every bloggie!

It's been frosty cold in the mornings.

I LOVE the frost. Someone thinks it is a good time for a photo session.

Capturing me making lil boy body prints in the grass. Strange?!!

But I have other ideas. Huh? What was that!

Whoa.. I'm transforming into my alter ego. I can't stop it! Look out!

The frost short circuits my brain. Get outta the way. Bizerk? The urban dictionary says it means something exciting and dramatic! yeah that's it.. I'm exciting. ha

Yeah.. Mr. Bizeko Oh Yeah!
oops I mean...

froggie forecast!

hello every bloggie!

A few weeks ago, I was so excited! The weather man Pete said it was going to be Froggie! You know I LOVE frogs and thought it was a day just for me!  Nope he meant something else. 

I think I'd still rather have this type of froggie forecast

Ice, Freezing Rain and Snow

5am wet sloppy snow fell from the sky. I didn't mind. That's why I was built with snow shoes. Then the snow turned to an icy rain. I think it came from the happy three heeler land and blew northeast.  I watched the news.. school after school after school closed. Last year my mommie would stay home when the schools closed. Not this year. Oh wait but yes! My fun Aunt Dee is a teacher. She called and told me she was going to surprise me later!  Fun Aunt Dee took me for a long walk.  In these dark days of winter,  she had me put on my reflector vest and then off to the park.  I thought I looked cute in reflector yellow but I only wear it when it's dark.  Hmm but maybe I did look cute. She laid in the snow to take pictures of me.  She had me pose. She shot my profile.  She had me run back and forth.  She had me flip upside down and all around. I hope I get paid for being a great model! I think she wants me to be a movie star!  Look out Marley!

New Year's Day Fun

Brrr.. New Year's Day was frigid.  This poor boy's toes kept freezing up so I brought out the mittens. (aka-boots) An initial struggle was soon over followed by a nice prance. (trying to figure out how to walk in them)   Here he is, so fancy, with his fleece mittens.  I know.. I know.. it really isn't a fashion statement in this case it is function.  For those owners who need to use boots, I use the cheap ones that the iditarod dog use... give it a try - at $2.50/pair it is a good investment.  Go to www.dogbooties.com.  And, if he loses one, it is not a costly loss and they fit good too.

    

Now we are ready for the trails.  We headed to Ghiloni Park in Marlboro.  Oh yes! We had the park and the trails to ourselves.  Norwood took full advantage of it.  The ice cold gusts blowing against our face. The snow draped pine trees.  Fresh tracks in the trails.  We had a great time... expect I could not keep up.  I wish I had a furry face and four legs some days.. today was one of them.

        

It was a beautiful clear blue sky mitten wearing kind of day!

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE-the Return of Old Man Winter

Yesterday not only brought in the new year but a return of old man winter.  

That didn't stop us from enjoying the snow!

  

Norwood's terrier personality was out.  

He somehow thought there were rodents under snow/ground.

  

Pounce pounce pounce!  Stomp stomp stomp with paw!

 Dig Dig and then pounce again! It makes him happy who am I to stop him.  

 Oh that's right, it's hard to stop a "terrier" in a kill mode- I don't have a say in it. 

This past year was good to us- it brought Norwood to a new home.  This new year we can only hope is as good.  Happy New year to all our new blog friends!  

A COLD SUNDAY MORNING

This morning it was 12 degrees. Quite cold but we still manage to do our 3 mile walk.  Yesterday we came across a little white tail bunny.  It came out of nowhere and norwood ran after it then 30 seconds later the bunny came out of trail running the other way. I laughed. Out smarted by a rabbit again.  

Anyways, on these cold mornings, I like to think warm and think about summer.  Here is Norwood having fun at Hopkinton State Park.  This park is close to the start line of the infamous Boston Marathon. It is a nice woodsy area.  Fun trails, swimming and kayaking available at this park.
