Spring!

We had a very cold snowy winter. For a while, a very hot spring. Yesterday we had wind and rain and tornadoes. My mom swears she heard a 'train' in the distance which might have been the tornado that touched down near here. But we are safe today and the electricity only went off once and came right back on.

It's windy and sunny today. Of course, you notice the grass grew 6" OVERNIGHT and my mom's mower is in the shop. It's jungle back here now.

See how windy it is. The windchimes are going crazy. I can really feel the wind in my fur.

Our new foster baby.

Here is our new pit baby playing with Felix. My mom was going to call her Blossom but that didn't fit. She's wild and crazy and so very sweet. I think her name is Kacy now. Everyone here loves her--I mean all the beagles. It's the first time somedog (and Davoo you know who you are) hasn't tried to nip the new doggie. She wiggles so much my mom can't hold on to her.

This is Felix's adoption video. And guess what?!! He is going north next week!! That will leave us with only one foster dog for now. We will work on a video for her.

Meanwhile, we're snoozing on the deck. This is Baby and Petey.

And enjoying the sun in the tall grass.

Somemom needs to mow this grass...just sayin'.

Joyous News!!

Dot the coonhound has a home!!

Harley the pretty boy cattle dog mix has a home!!

Dolly the dachshund mix has a home!!

They have lived with us for almost 6 months and all of a sudden everybody has a furever home! We still have Felix, Dolly's brother. He is a shy boy but will be a great doggie for some family.

Look at these beautiful pit babies--the picture doesn't show the Hershey bar chocolate color they are. So pretty! My mom helped with their transport today. They are Toby and Sadie going to a rescue up north and eventually a furever family!

Here is a nice Saturday stroll in our backyard. It is a great sunny weekend for Easter. My mom has 3 days to spend with us and our fosters who will leave next week. I hope everyone has a nice holiday.

200th post!!

Watching for Spring to arrive.

This is my 200th post in almost 2 years. I am meditating in the sun about all the friends I have made and friends I have lost in that time. It has been such a joy to know you all, and celebrate your lives. Sun and friendship--keeps me warm inside and out.

Silly sunny Sunday

Enjoying our Spring-like weather.

Streeeeeettttccchh

Everyone's outside today. Even my mom. Her eye is better so she can be in the sun with us.

Snow and visitors--Mom UPDATE

My mom saw an eye specialist today and although there are many unspellable (a word?) words, the final diagnosis is it is treatable! The dr wants her to stay home with us for the next five days. Hurray!!
...I mean, uh, I'm so sorry she's sick but we're glad she can stay home.

Here is Dot getting warm by the fire. She's always blocking the heat. She must be a California beach dog bol


More snow today, another 5".
Our first icicle! Quite magnificent.We have a coonhound/cattledog mix visiting. His name is Harley. He mixes in pretty well don't you think?

Here I am getting sleepy. You can see the snow behind me out the front window? My mom says it's time for a nap.

Okay, let's go.

PeeEss--we are visiting our friends but haven't been blogging much. My mom has an eye problem and is going to a specialist tomorrow.

Happenings

From now until Feb. 15th Simple Dogs will give $5 to Atlanta Beagle Rescue for every item you buy from them. It's a neat site--look and see if it might help your kind of dog, too!

We had a good week--only a little snow. My mom's mom lives in Virginia and they got 2 feet of snow! Two feet--that's like a human!

We really enjoyed Mango Minster! Congratulations to all the winners so far.

We are sending good vibes to Max, a beautiful boy who is not well and has not gotten good news. Today he is getting pictures with his family and reminds us all to make sure we have pictures of us with our families.

Our friend, Scarlet, got her new wheels! And it was thanks to all of us around the world. She looks very happy.

We are enjoying a quiet Sunday! Everyone is sleeping and snoring while my mom watches the Puppy Bowl. Hey, a beagle scored a touchdown!

Extreme snow zoomies

We have been away for a few weeks because my mom has been so tired. Not from celebrating her birthday just from working too much. I wanted to tell everyone about our snow! We had 5 whole inches come down on Friday. My mom got off early from work and it took her 4 hours to get home. She said the roads, even the big highway, were terrible but her Honda (and the fact that she is a Yankee with experience in snow driving) got her home to us.

It was up to my CHEST in the backyard so I had to leap around like a kangaroo. Dot the coonhound also loved running around with me. Anybody want some snow? We have plenty now!

Snow zoomies and a birthday

Happy birthday to my mom! She is fortyeleven years old. Okay, she's really more than that but that's as high as I can count. We had pancakes for breakfast, better than a cake! Part of my present is keeping her warm.

We had snow this week, a whopping 2 inches so everything was closed Friday and Saturday. Sounds silly but there was a lot of ice because of the low temperatures. We had plenty of food and firelogs. No trees fell which is rare for this land so my mom continued to have internet and electricity. Even the sun is shining. It's a pretty day for her birthday with a high of 27.

We enjoyed the snow. My mom made a snow zoomies video.

Please, everyone stay warm and safe, or, if you're in the southern hemisphere, please stay cool and safe!

25 Degrees!!

25 degrees today! But it is a pretty day. We have such

bright blue skies here in the valley.

Here's Petey in the sun.

Hi Petey!
I love snooping around in the yard.

Dot in the sun.

Dot on the run.

Pointer mode. Hey, Bitey has a bone!!

We're all on the run now! Gotta get that bone!

Post Christmas post

Here is some of my mom's trip to Virginia. There was lots of snow in the mountains.
These are pictures from the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk.

Here is Dot happy to see Mom is home. Dot is going to California through this cool group called Pilots 'n Paws. All our other foster dogs are gone! Bella, Maizie, Billy, and the puppies Annie, Dolly and Felix. She says she didn't knock down the curtains.

Meanwhile, on the way back from Va my mom's vet called and asked if she could find a home for this beagle named Shadow. Isn't she cute? She comes from a family who lost their home. She's about five years old and is a big couch potato. I like her a lot better than the puppies. Besides, she looks just like Georgia!

Here I am in beagle tracker mode. I'm looking for my mom. I know she's around here somewhere.

Hey, she's right here taking a picture of me!

Happy New Year to everyone! We sure hope this will be a better year than the last one for all of us.
