SOL 2/31 - Max Writes - Yesterday's surprise

I didn't think Max would be writing so early in the month, but he insisted!

You know that I love going out in the snow, burying my nose and pushing.  You know that I love running in the snow and chasing those snowflakes.  You know that the cold temps seem to make my bones feel young.  But yesterday ....

We've had snow on the ground for over a week and on Saturday we got another couple of inches.  But last night, instead of snow, it turned to freezing rain.  The ground was glossy, the trees were coated with a clear icy substance, but Mom & I decided to take a short walk (you know, just so I could do my duty.)  Mom told me not to pull because she didn't want to fall.  So I was being pretty cautious as I stepped out the door into the snow.

It went "crunch" then "crack".  I hesitated, not sure what was happening.  I walked a little further and tried to go faster - crunch, crack and then my legs started going all different directions.  I sat down (it was cold on the butt) and looked at Mom.  After a few more slides and skids, Mom directed me to an area that didn't have the stuff on top of the snow.  I smelled, did my duty, smelled some more and (with a little encouragement from Mom), decided it was time to go back into the house.

Snow is great, but that glossy stuff covering it, is not to my liking.

    I'm with you Max! It's been chilly in New York and yesterday it snowed as well! My feet were slipping and sliding as we walked and I couldn't wait to come home too! Only I had a glass of wine when I got home...:-)

    Max, it is always good to read your posts. I am not a fan of ice and freezing rain either. In snow you can at least get traction. With ice you just go and who knows where you will land. Hope to hear more from you as the month goes on.

    Sometimes that snow is a bit tricky when it is covered in glossy substances. I hope it goes away too. I'm ready to see green grass again. Be gentle with mom, we don't need to read about broken bones.

    I can just picture it all happening. That kind of ice....I'm glad mom didn't get hurt out there and break a bone like Nanc. xo

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
