HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY to OUR SWEET WILLOW!

Born during a day-long blizzard and when we visited, the clouds
briefly parted and a bright Full Moon appeared  💕

Special Birthday trip to the Pet Store ...

small squeaky toy (she loves small toys that squeak)<3 td="">

It's been a Great Birthday  🎈

Happy, Happy New Year 2019

HAPPY NEW YEAR ... what will 2019 bring   🔑  💞  🐾

"Our Favorites"   🎉  🎇

Special Cheeseburger Breakfast  🐾  🍔

On a windy-icy 10 degree day, UPS delivered Mya's
favorite Christmas  "tuggy" toys  ... Willow is happy too!

Willow discovered that Rudolf sings "Jingle Bells"!
(thanks SunKissed family)

"Emma, I think it's snowing out ... let's sleep in!"

Snuggling with Lambchop  💗

OK ... Here We Go Again ... 5 Below to 43 Above  😲

Iced- In Again ... Stop the Rain, so Sanding Can Get Done!

Welcoming in December!

November ended with windy 5 degree temps and 3 snowblowerable (is that a word?) 3-5" storms ... now December has ushered in 40 degree temps with Rain & ICE  😲

Some Agility practices and classes have been cancelled, but the Golden Girls found fun in the snow and out came the camera (planning next year's Christmas card/calendars already)

Such "Good Girls" when the camera comes out!

(no smiles, as it's a very serious job!)

This as far as the car made it up the driveway!
(sanding next)

Driveway is an Ice Skating Rink ... "creepers" on all footware!

Combining Agility practice with a spontaneous Photo-Shoot!

Ho Ho Ho!

46 years ago 12/7/72, this handsome guy was born and
began my love of Golden Retrievers ... "Ruff "  💗

...and so it began  💖
(as seen on FB)

Santa Paws came early, but we'll wait till Christmas Eve/Day!
(thanks Aunt Bonnie) 

It's that time of year ... Church Cookie Fair!
 ... the inspectors are on the job   😋

We'll be cozy tonight!

Then there was MORE ICE on 12/21/18  👀

Mya LOVES her Lambchop  💖

So True ... Christmas present 😄
(Thanks Aunt Cheryl ... you know us well!)

When what you had planned for the day can't happen ...
you just do something else ... Sorry Girls  😲

Checking out our Winter Dam/Spillway conditions  👀
(and beaver work!)

Merry Christmas  💖
(Thanks Gramee Jean)

Christmas Day Eve  💝
 💬 " Look Santa Paws Came"

December 26th with new Christmas scarves and bones  😍
(Thanks Aunty Trish)

Blowing in November!!!

Wind is howling after what seems like weeks of non-stop downpours ... chairs, hoses, kayaks and reminders of Summer are safely packed away ... rowboat is the last thing out for hauling "Beaver Logs" from the shoreline (but first early snowfall on 11/16 beat us to that project and rowboat is safely pulled out and secured to a tree) ... waiting for the return of the sun and Indian Summer  😎

Happy Fall ... can you find the Goldens? 

Dock is somewhere under the rowboat!

Rushing water over the Dam/Spillway  👀

Willow concentrating and working her track! 

Emma working on which way her track goes!

Mya PROUD of what she found!

Emma very "serious" at the START flag!

Last Scent Tracking session of the year with a twist ... thanks to Mother Nature - SNOW TRACKING and the girls enjoyed it!

Closing out November with 5 degree garb  😬

...and more snow!!!
(time for the Christmas scarves!)
