We are really really hoping for it to stop snowing and finally see some sun. It was very pleasant for a few days last week, and we played outside a lot. It was good to see the snow melting finally. However, it snowed again last three days and it is warm now. The ice has started to melt quite a bit and Amy is determined to make the best of the piles up snow and ice before it is hot here and spends quite a bit of time investigating things in the snow!
How else do you think we can keep busy in this weather?
Nothing much has changed in Wisconsin, since the last time we wrote - the snow is still there and we are having really cold days and nights. Well, actually we are seeing he sun more often now, but not enough to melt the snow piles. Amy has been enjoying the snow, a lot more than we do, and runs around like crazy.
She has lost a lot more balls this winter in the snow than ever before and spends a lot of time searching for them in places that she will not be able to find them.
Here she is in one of her mad dashes across the yard. Oh, she has also been jumping from top of the snow piles, which I am hoping to get a video of soon.
We have at least one bunny living under our back porch. Given that there are few interesting things happening outside these days, Amy has taken to checking for the bunny whenever she can.
The bunny has three holes through which it comes and goes and Amy keeps track of all those, sniffing from where the bunny went and which one it came back in.
Entry 1: Bunny uses to go to the neighbor’s porch.
Entry 2: Bunny uses to go to the house behind us with bushes.
Amy loves the snow - doesn’t matter how windy it is, or how cold it is, she just loves to play outside in the snow. She is the only reason we ever spend anytime outside in this weather. The snow just makes her go nuts, she needs very little prompting or no stimulus from us at all - the snow does it. Here is a short clip of her running around, just because.
This is a blog about our three pets - AMY - an adopted black-lab mix, who is a little more than 2 years old, but still thinks she is a puppy, NIKKO - a 10+ Jenday Conure, who is the little terror in our home and thinks he is a dog, and PEPPER, a 10+ Nanday Conure, who is the baby of the household. We have brought more joy in our lives with bringing them home. Hope you enjoy reading about them and tell us in your comments.
