Someone is coming!
Guard the door!
Don’t be silly.
It’s our cousins!
Apollo (the red one) and Loki—here for a week while their family goes to Las Vegas!
Company!

The March winds are here
The wind in March has a true purpose
Without the wind the trees would have trouble
For it is with the wind the trees are able to bring the sap up from the roots.
Wind! We jump for joy!
Soon the trees will have leaves!

They say—
That more of this is coming in
O! Please!
Let all of this
Be just a memory—-
Until next year—
in November through February.
Please let genuine Spring Begin!
Storm clouds forming! Sigh!

TLC and I went outside to
PLAY!!!
But—
Dad was backing up that big
Scary
Machine.
(This was taken two weeks ago)
So, we ran back inside!
Mom told us Dad was going out to see if the rain made it
Too muddy to get back out
On the Land.
Guess what?!
Dad is BACK ON THE LAND!
TLC and Boo Berry
TLC and I had a big play out in the alfalfa field
It was lots of fun
We had Run
Play
Sniff
This was while we were on a walk with Mom.
Dry dirt is just the best!!!
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mom heard another big storm is heading back in here
NO!
No more this
Or This
Or ANYTHING Like THIS
We want the farming season to begin,
which means DRY!
So, we can PLAY!!
TLC and Boo Berry
Oh, the wonder of MARCH!
The snow did a big melt
The wind helped
And the warmer temperatures
TLC stayed outside the whole day through
Me?
I Stayed with Mom
Mom is my job
TLC says his job is the farm
We both say
(See me in the window and TLC trying to get in?)
Yay! It’s March!
Mom says careful kids, March is tricky
We can still get lots of snow
Or rain
Or something.
For sure she says we will get
WIND!
We don’t care…
It’s March
And the ground is mostly dry!
Boo Berry and TLC
I just THOUGHT the snow was going away—
Then this happened
The weatherman was right!!!
SNOW! All over again!
My lawn is was becoming
LAWN!!!
But not anymore. Maybe we will get rain and wind, and sunshine soon!
Mom and I and TLC Cai-Cai, and Dad can hope!
Boo Berry
We are melting
No more snow in many places
Gradually
Gradually 
That big snow is becoming
Not so big
And that way, way, way too cold
Is going away so Boo Berry and I —see me way back there) can walk on DIRT!
Or mud or other things.
Happiness is the small stuff—don’t ya think?
TLC Cai-Cai
The wind came. (see my ruffled fur)
And the slick ice
and the mud
And then another round of snow
Then more wind. (See the wind in our hair)
Mom says it’s the end of February and all this won’t last. She says it will probably be here until the middle of March, and it will just go away!
We sure hope mom is right.
TLC Cai-Cai and Boo Berry Betty
Mom will tell you all about our big four-day and four-night snow on Sunday… right now I want to tell you —-
I JUST LOVE MY NEW LIFE!!!
I have so many things I get to do, so many things I want to do, and things I didn’t even KNOW I wanted to do.
Like ride with Mom in the car!
Wait! Wait!
Back to the beginning.
My first 3 ½ years were spent in a kennel, hearing other dogs, and then getting to have a visit with a boy dog—that never lasted long, in and out kinda thing.
Then I got to come live with MOM and Dad and my very own cat, TLC!!
For the first two months, it was scary! I had issues with some things, like wetting the floor anytime I got afraid. (and I WAS afraid lots—but NOT any more 🙂 )
Although, it didn’t take me long to like to go “OUTSIDE” to do my private stuff. Mom always told me I was a GOOD GIRL so going outside was fun. And freeing. And Full of cool things to smell.
Anyway…that is a moot point. Mom and I have worked out a system of understanding and all is good.
You know, if I were a human, I would be 32 years old. I would be holding down a good job—kids growing up—you know—established.
Well! I am AM established!
I play with TLC. I go outside BY myself (sometimes, well, not often, only if TLC is with me)
I go on very long walks with Mom whereby I can sniff the news to my heart’s content.
I ride in my very own basket with Mom as she does ‘stuff’ on the farm.
And Now!
I can load myself up into the car, get over into the passenger seat, or on Mom’s lap and go for a car ride!
It’s no longer so scary I have to hide my eyes!
YES! I am getting Established! Four is a perfect age for me!
