Baby it's cold outside

I think Bonine is meclazine--I just couldn't remember the trade name. So you should be all set.

My avatar is my German Shepherd.  Her name is Snookie.  She is now 11 or 12 years old, but still going strong.  Even in the snow and cold she'd rather be outside than inside most of the time.  She also knows that she can get my attention when I'm on the lap top by using her snout to knock the screen back so far that I can't read it!  One side of my laptop is always covered Snookie snout prints. 

Is yours a maltese?  Whatever she is she's adorable! 

       Temps here have been quite mild the last few days.  No sun today, but it feels quite nice out there and at least it isn't raining.  A lot of people don't agree with me, but I prefer snow to rain when it is cold....that rain just freezes you to the bone.

      My cat George gets right in front of the computer screen and I have to push his tail out of the way to see.  My house is a hair palace....cat and dog hair everywhere, but at least I am happy to say mine is no longer part of the mix.  This new stuff doesn't even seem to come out in the shower when I wash it.  Actually my new hair feels like fur....it is so soft. 

I hear you about the hair.  German Shepherd are required by German Shepherd law to shed enough hair every day to make a new dog.  My vet says Shepherds should come with a warning that they are a risk to the health of any vacuum cleaner that uses a bag.  I changed to a bagless vacuum after getting tired of having to change the vacuum cleaner bag after vacuuming the living room and again after vacuming the hall and bedroom everyday. 

   I know this should go on the memory post, but did any of you used to put hair out for the birds to build nests with?  I remember when we would get our haircut at the beauty shop we would always ask for the hair and then put it out for the birds. 

Whoa - you guys have been busy since I stopped in.  My avatar is a Coton - the full name is Coton der Turlear - I think it means cotton which is what they look like.  They have hair instead of fur so they must be groomed every 6-8 weeks.  We should also brush them but they don't like it.  You feel like your're wrestling with a Tazmanian Devil.  We have two littermates that my sister bought almost 5 years ago.

Weather here in Tampa has been beautiful today with sun.  Last night, it was so beautiful outside with a layer of fog and the moon shining behind it.

We have had black labs for the last 15 years or so.  Our first one died several years ago and we got another one about 2 years ago.  We always get females.  My house is one big black dog hair catcher.  So is my pool.  She loves to swim but our filter is always loaded with dog hair.  She was my strength when I went thru chemo.  She was so gentle and sweet.  Now she's turned back into her puppy self. 

We had a perfectly beautiful day here but the only time I was outside was to walk to the mail box. Spent most of the day painting the master bathroom.or should I say cutting in the paint which is taking forever. Think I am going to like it.

I have always wanted to have a greenhouse--I'm so envious!  Maybe someday.  This morning it's 8 degrees,a bit cloudy.  Weather report is calling for rain tomorrow.  Rain,  In Maine,  In January.  Good grief.  On top of all this snow we are going to be dealing with a lot of flooding.  Which reminds me, I better get down to the garage and make sure everything water damagable is up off the floor before the end of the day today.  And yesterday I was shoveling off the front walk and steps.  Oh, boy.  Gotta love winter in Maine. 

Those are cool pictures Meece!

Hmm - average weight of a coton is 10-15 pounds.

NativeMaine - my folks had a black chow - the entire house covered in black hair!  I didn't realize GSDs shed so much.

Weather is reasonable here in Virginia for winter.  No complaints but stay tuned - that could change at any time.

Meece - we did discuss my dog months ago but I can always talk about them!  They sometimes look like plush animal toys, sitting stock still staring at you.

We finally got the polls into the ground and decided on chicken wire around the polls. Ta-Da! Six little islands of fruit trees, getting a luscious drink of rain water! Was it worth it? Every cold, drippy drop of rain. I gave each tree a pep talk and gave them a blessing, promising to be alive to eat their fruit!

We are having rain with lots of storms predicted today and the possibility that they "could" cause tornadoes.................but I am still going out to "play" ( girls day out with shopping and lunch ) as nothing stops that.

Native Mainer-hope you don't have a power failure! Neither of us are having good weather.

Meece-Those colors have such nice names- what manufacturer? I still have three white rooms left but that will soon be changed. I drive myself nuts when I am selecting colors.

Wishing every one a good day .
