Happy Birthday To The Old Man

Our Greyhound Kane just turned 11, he is a old man.  He isn't normally allowed on the couch but we made an exception on his special day.  Happy Birthday old man! 

A soft place to land...

Give him something soft and he will find it.
Softness provided by one of Will's Ugly Dolls.

There's A New Sheriff in Town.....

Have you seen Toy Story 3 yet? We saw it last week in 3D. I especially loved the Barbie and Ken scenes!

I think it is time to...

I think it is time to put away the snow shovel! Good riddens winter and hello spring!

Let it shine...

We have had a bit of a heatwave this week in Michigan, 56 degrees in March is a pleasant surprise. We have also had an abundance of sunshine and I love how the sun shines in our front door, apparently I am not the only one, as you can see Will and Kane are soaking up the sun, pure sweetness if you ask me.

What is the weather like in your neck of the woods?

Out of Will's gallery

Will took this picture of Kane and I. He loves to take pictures and even though the top of my head is cut off he said it is a "masterpiece" I actually like the picture since I don't have a lot of pictures of Kane and I.

Happy Wednesday friends!

I took one for the team...

Believe it or not we haven't really had much snow this year, I know I just jinxed us and now we are going to get dumped on in Michigan, sorry Michiganders! But one thing we have had is really cold temperatures.

Even though we don't have much snow it still needs to be shoveled. So, Will and I decided to do some shoveling, so hubby wouldn't have to do it in the dark. I really do not like the cold and often question why we all live in Michigan, but when you are 4 snow is something really fabulous. Will and I bundled up and took one for the team, well I took one for the team since Will loves the snow! Kane on the other hand didn't last very long, he wanted in after playing for about 5 minutes.

So tell me have you had much snow this winter?

Merry Christmas....

Wishing all a very Merry Christmas, may all your wishes come true!

Baby it's cold outside...

I can never resist taking some hat pictures of Kane and it has been a while.

Happy Wednesday friends! Make it a great day!

The Road Not Taken....

Every now and again Kane and I go for a walk just the two of us and this is our path, it always reminds me of the poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. It is our path our time together where I think, about so many things and Kane well he just trots along and enjoys his walk... he is the best walking partner.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

...Robert Frost

Look out there is a new Sheriff in town...

I figured it has been a while since I posted a silly pic with a hat on Kane so here you go! Enjoy!

Wordless/Wordful Wednesday

For my bloggy friends who like to see pics of Kane with a hat on. Will and I had a huge giggle fest as usual and I hope it makes you laugh too. Happy Wednesday!

Wordless/Wordful Wednesday

Will has been wanting to take Kane to the pet store for some time so we finally obliged. Will was trying to pick out a treat for Kane but it looks like Kane wanted to pick out his own treat. (I was just glad Kane didn't pee in the store, that would have been really embarrassing)

Fun at the lake...

Kane loves his boat rides and even asks for them!

Two captains of this ship!

This sea-doo squirts water so look out!

Playing with Papa is always fun!

Have a Happy Thursday... just a few more days until the weekend!

Wordful/Wordless Wednesday

As long as Kane has his soft, comfy bed he will lay his head just about anywhere and sometimes it really doesn't look too comfortable. To me this was funny since he has his nose on the flat bed of Will's truck, almost like Monsters Vs. Aliens.

Happy Wednesday friends!

Feel Good Sunday: Go Fetch... Please!

I love when I see Will playing with Kane, the poor kid tries to get Kane to play with his toys but Kane never has any interest, not even a little. The other day I walked into the room and this is what I saw.

I hope Will and Kane are friends Fur-ever (sorry had to do it!)

Feel Good Sunday: A Boy And His Dog

A Boy And His Dog by Edgar Albert

A boy and his dog make a glorious pair:
No better friendship is found anywhere,
For they talk and they walk and they run and they play,
And they have their deep secrets for many a day;
And that boy has a comrade who thinks and who feels,
Who walks down the road with a dog at his heels.

He may go where he will and his dog will be there,
May revel in mud and his dog will not care;
Faithful he'll stay for the slightest command
And bark with delight at the touch of his hand;
Oh, he owns a treasure which nobody steals,
Who walks down the road with a dog at his heels.

No other can lure him away from his side;
He's proof against riches and station and pride;
Fine dress does not charm him, and flattery's breath
Is lost on the dog, for he's faithful to death;
He sees the great soul which the body conceals—
Oh, it's great to be young with a dog at your heels!

Thousand Words Thursday

We have had nothing but snow and very cold weather lately in Michigan! The first pic is just the beginning of the snow. The cold weather requires some cozy pj's w/ feet and the third pic shows the heat hog, Will and Kane fight over the heat vent. You can see Kane took over and even decided to lay on Will's "cozy" blanket.

What is the weather like in your neck of the woods?
