Mornings With Moula

Oh the JOY! Father changed the bed sheets! We have not had clean sheets in a long time because Mother said the machine that washes them clean was broken. Of course - we all had  to snuggle down on the bed to soak in all the freshness. It was pure joy!!! Ari and Izzy and Mia would not leave the bed! Not once! But- sigh- we did have to go outside to - well you know. The sun was bright but it had snowed a bit. It must be close to Spring time because the squirrels are plotting their paths to the garden. Ari keeps watch and barks at them as we watch from the patio. Mia is not sure what is going on but she follows what we do just the same. I suppose it is good to have fresh sheets once in a while to remind us of what is new and clean like fresh fallen snow. But me? I  rather like to sit in front of the fire with the sun streaming through the front windows..... May your days be filled with peace my friends.....

It has been five months today since  Mia and her brothers came into our lives. She has become a very dear niece to me. She tries to be sweet and to be a good little girl- but sometimes- like all of us- she falls short. Mia has learned to stop and wait patiently when Mother talks about bones and treats. She is curous about everything she sees and hears but she has never been afraid.  Her nose is often dirty from sticking it in everything she can find. She allows me to use her as a pillow and told me that she likes to make me happy. I know she has only been here for five months- but I cannot imagine my life without her. We all feel that way I suppose we would never miss someone if we never met them- but what a shame that would be May your days be filled with peace my friends....

Little Mia now asks Father to put her up on the bed each morning. She knows it is a special treat for her but she asks all the time. She gets so excited  that she bounces arund on the bed before she settles down. The winds died down but Father still had to work from home while Mother went to school. We hung out together in the kitchen. Ari was cleaning my ears and Mia was discussing the issues of the day with Izzy. The sun was bright in the sky and we gladly went outside to sit  in it's rays and nap. Ari  Mia and Izzy Mia tried to find the lasts of the ice and snow to cool her belly.  I  just shook my head.... When Mia had enough- she found the pach of sun on the patio to chill out. Izzy preferred to sit on the wall. And Ari sat to watch over  us all. May your days be filled with peace my friends.....

All through the night and all day long the wind sang in our ears. It made the trees sing and knocked on the windows of our house making Arabella bark and bark and bark. Mother sent us outside but told us not to blow away! Moula told me that when it was very windy to stay close to the house or stay low to the ground. Sometimes the winds stopped singing in our ears enough for us to play on the patios And we sat in the garden's grass. And Arabella barked at the wind to make it stop but it did not listen very well. To fae the wind made us very tired and when we went inside- we had to nap and relax. The wind blew Mia the most- all around the garden. She was so tired she fell fast asleep at the kitchen door while the wind sang in our ears. May your  days be filled with peace my friends....
