Mornings With Moula

I am told that today is the last of this year. Not any different from any other day except that Mother and Father spent the whole day with us. We kept Watch  outside before the rains started again. It was a quiet kind of day filled with treats and bones and fusses and walkies..... I talked with Uncle Barry and and Michael and Jack on my walk and Izzy said she also chatted with Jack on her walk.  Ari went with Father on a very long walk and was happy. Mia went on her training walk (with treats) and refused to go any further than Auntie Dolores's  front door. Some how  she knew that Auntie was home.   Auntie Dolores let her into the house  and Mia sat and talked to her very gently and Auntie gave her treats.... Mia understood that she was older and needed a gentle kiss. She asked me if Auntie was like Moula and I answered yes. Nearly the same gentle spirit- full of the wisdom of age. We played outside for a while before the rains came down. Then

Early  in the morning when we all went outside to - uh,,,,, do what we do- the snow was falling from the sky and also on the ground. Little Mia squealed with delight and ran around and around in the snow. The snow disappeared almost as fast as out breakfast   and we were outside playing again. Mother did poop patrol and then she took us for walkies. It was a quiet kind of morning- no body was outside on my walk. Father took Ari for a walk and Izzy said she  got to talk to Jack's mother but she said Jack was inside sleeping. Little Mia went all the way to Uncle Bill's house then stopped at Auntie Dolores's house because she figured she needed more  treats....\ Later on some friends of Mother's came to see us all..... We were happy to hug and kiss them and share our toys with them. We love getting visits from friends- we love getting fusses from them too. May your days be filled with peace my friends.....

Although it was still very wet outside- the morning sun felt so good! Mother had two days of poop patrol and we just satin the grass  and blinked in the sun. We had a grand time hanging in the house too- while the sun streamed in through the windows... One of Mother's friends- Auntie Barbara came to meet us and Izzy took it upon herself to show Auntie all around the back garden. She chatted up a storm! Izzy took Auntie all around and stopped to talk to the chickens and introduce them all around.. Then Izzy told her all about Mia and how she was her half sister..... I guess Izzy  is our tour guide! Later on we all settled in  for the night. It is days like this that make us smile and make us treasure the sunshine in our day. May your days be filled with peace my friends...

This morning started with rain- Just as Mother said it would.  It was ok for Ari, Izzy and me because we don't mind sleeping the days away. But poor little Mia is so full of energy and Izzy spent a lot of her time playing  with Mia. We all  tried to make the best of a rainy rainy day.... I suppose we will have to teach Mia how  nap through the rain storms- Tomorrow I think it will be sun. May your  days be filled with peace my friends...
