Here she is, gazing longingly at Bill and Barnaby out for a walk. I am not walking her on leash without accompaniment these days. And just now with her little digestive issues? Nope. She peeks over the deck rail at her friends walking by.
Reporting on her health, yeah, we had two extra trips outside overnight Saturday to Sunday, at about 9:50 p.m. and 12:45 a.m. Then mom actually was able to sleep for a couple of hours in her own bed, getting up at 4 to the alarm to make sure I would be able to respond to a whimper from that point forward.
Have you ever tried to convince a yearling puppy that 4 a.m. is still "the middle of the night"? Well, the darkness helps, but a puppy who normally gets fed between 5 and 6 a.m. wants some companionship and play time. She did go back in after I had breakfast.
It was sunny, and no wind, so even though the ambient temperature was 11F, it didn't feel that bad in the afternoon, and we did get a little bit of fetch off the deck. We also had a bit of retrieve practice down the basement stairs, played some tug, and "follow mommy". After I did one round of poo patrol she escaped into the garage while I put it out in the special garbage container that I keep out there for poo. Consequently, we had a round of garage/car games for a bit.
No car ride Sunday, but I did make a grocery run during her normal puppy nap #1 time.
Life is good. Keep on Sparking!
LOVE that icy version of Chimney Rock.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Ember looks VERY comfortable! Awesome job getting the photo!
Ohhhhhh no, still haven’t gotten Miss Lilly to realize 4 am is still dark o’clock. And she’s 5.. . will be 6 in June and don’t think I’ll ever get her convinced. LOL
HOPE that Ember is feeling better from her digestive issues.
Bitter cold today. Just staying in!
Hugs and blessings

We have light snow here too. Supposed to be happening off and on all day. It's pretty, and fluffy, and white. We've had so little this year that even though it's February, I'm not completely exhausted by it yet. I am able to love its charm.
DeleteOf course, Ember's reactions to it keep me amused, too.
Hope you have a warm and cozy day!
It finally stopped and the sun is shining today. Hubby shoveled and cleared our car and two neighbours. He is doing it as a favour but the lady kept trying to pay him and thrust a package of frozen chicken at me and ran away - LOL. You can't seem to be just kind-hearted, people always seem to want to pay. I love your pictures today, Tigger is pretty tough to get shots of too.
ReplyDeleteI sort of understand the lady's point of view... I offered gas money to the guy who snow-blowed me out the first year I moved here. Now I accept graciously and bake cookies now and again. If my neighbors can be kind, I'm hoping I can also be!
DeleteThat's a fun little update! The Chimney Rock comparison is cute – I can totally see it. And Ember's sleeping positions are always a source of amusement, aren't they? Glad you finally captured one! Poor girl longing for her buddies, though. It sounds like you're handling her tummy troubles like a champ. 4 a.m. playtime? I feel your pain! Puppies definitely have their own internal clocks. It's good she got some fun in despite the chilly weather. Garage/car games sound like a blast (for her, at least!). (((BIG HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteHow's Scooter doing?
