Now this is a first and it only took eleven years!  We had some cold weather and snow this week and Wen turned our fireplace on.  She always puts a dog bed in front of the fireplace for Sadie and me when it’s on and it only takes a few minutes for one or both of us to settle in on the bed to soak up the warmth.

Molly has never shown any interest in our dog beds until lately, but never when one is by the fireplace.  She has recently been sitting in a dog bed in the corner by the TV though, which is highly unusual for her.  The dog beds are Sadie’s and my territory, so to see Molly occupy one was surprising.

What was really surprising though was to see Molly walk over to a dog bed in front of the fireplace the other night.  For the first time in eleven years, Molly took our usual spot and she actually stayed there for more than a few minutes.  So far, it was a one time occurrence, but you never know.  Maybe Wen will have to put two dog beds by the fireplace from now on.

 

 

It’s the first day of spring and even though it’s cold here in Colorado, the neighbor’s crocus bulbs are blooming.  Our original next door neighbor planted all kinds of bulbs and every year we get to see colorful crocus, daffodils, and tulips.

Molly is wearing her butterfly wings to celebrate the first day of spring and she certainly looks springy.  We’re going to ignore the cold weather and enjoy the sunshine and hope it warms up.  Happy spring, everybody!

Seriously, do I look like a Peep?  This Peeps costume that’s supposed to make me look like the marshmallow chick candy isn’t exactly my favorite look, but fortunately, I’m a good sport.  Okay, can I take this off now?!

It’s the day before St. Patrick’s Day and even though none of us is exactly Irish, tomorrow we wear green to celebrate!  It’s such a festive holiday that every year we have to participate, even if it’s just putting  on our favorite green clothes and accessories.  After all, who wants to get pinched for not wearing green?!

 

 

It’s March the 14th and that makes it 3.14 or the day we celebrate Pi Day.  How do we celebrate Pi Day?  Well, with a pie, of course!  If only we Scotties could have a piece, but I’m sure we’ll get extra dog treats instead.  I certainly hope so!

 

Somebody is rocking a pair of bunny sunglasses today.  Who’s that bunny and aren’t you a little bit early for Easter?  Oh, well, it’s nice and warm outside and it’s nearly springtime, so it’s about time for spring accessories….

Only one of us Scotties likes to jump up regularly on the back of the couch and the loveseat and hang out there.  Yep, it’s Sadie and she must like the sensation of climbing to new heights to feel taller and get a different perspective.

Actually, Wen stacks folded blankets on the back of the couch to discourage her from getting up there, but that still leaves the back of the love seat for Sadie to conquer and she’s very skilled at jumping up there and happily be on her perch.

We Scotties woke up to another wintry morning today.  It didn’t snow a whole lot, but enough for us to romp around the backyard, kicking up sprays of snow, which we love to do.

Wen caught us digging through the snow to dig in the dirt—the one thing we REALLY love to do and she chased us back inside, which always seems to happen when she notices the holes we’re working on.  A little snow won’t deter us from digging though and another wintry morning has provided us with fun times, including rolling around in the snow on my back!

 

Two days ago was Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday and of course we had to celebrate, even though we are not exactly in New Orleans.  Okay, not even close, but we couldn’t let a festive day go by where we could dress up and have special treats!  I was all decked out for the occasion and so was Gus, our indoors goose and I must say that we were stylin’!

H here it is, Sunday and sometimes even we Scotties have to look our Sunday best!
