Mornings With Moula

The last big moon of the year peeped through the barren branches of the distant trees. All the while we napped inside, missing Dusty and also  taking advantage of our freedoms. Mia assumed her old position by the fire. Then when mum was working by the fire, we practiced our best "Full Moon" faces to get and keep her attention. Some of us, like Raven were a bit more full in Mum's face. I wanted to give Mum a different view. I did my best to give Mum a full moon face. But Mia just stared back! Ciao for now my friends...  

I'm not sure what the big deal is but Mum got all excited when she walked in the bedroom and I was up on the big bed. She fussed me and said she was so happy to see me get on the bed! I suppose it has been a really long time since I could get up on the bed. My puppies are really proud of me too! My little Stardust is getting ready to go on tour again . One last long tour before the year ends. She does not mind. She loves the limelight. And even though there was snow and ice on the ground, Dusty managed to cover her head and paws fll of mud. Mum had to clear the snow and ice and also clean Dusty off one more time! But Dusty is all set and ready for one last big adventure for the year. We will miss her dearly. Ciao for now my friends...  

We are waiting patiently for the shortest day to arrive. Not because we particularly like long dark nights. Or the cold barren landscape. But simply because if we see the shortest day of the year, the very next day is just a little bit lighter. And lighter after that. With each day groeing longer with the light. Until it is Spring and summer once more. But long days or short days, we love the days we get our chewing bones. Ciao for now my friends...  

Tis the season I guess. e get lots of deliveries. Mostly Mum gets treats for us and food for us and bits and pieces of  food for humans too. It's nice to spend the days and nights by the fire, especially when it is cold and snowy outside. We can hear the deliveries arrive when the Ring camera goes off. But it doesn't much matter to us. We are content to wait and see. After all, It's the season to slow down and to snuggle by the fire. And be thankful for what we already have. Ciao for now my friends...
