It's me, Haida

Good Morning ...
I am ready for New Years, are you? I don't make resolutions as I am perfect just the way I am. I only reflect on the things that I am thankful for in 2008. I live in the country now and have a great big yard to run around in. I can see everything going on and I bark too. However, my mommy does make me come in if I bark to much. But I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

Angel keeps me company in the yard she barsks too. One thing about barking my mommy seems to appear out of no where holding the door open. This is our cue to come running in and we do. One thing though whe don't get treats when we come in. It's about being too fat!

Cheers,

Haida

A Day of Reflection

When I got up this morning, I looked out of my window and behold a fresh blanket of snow had fallen during the night. It's still snowing ever so lightly.

I stood in my warm house with my birds chirping and my dogs barking thinking to myself there is no place like home!

I thought about my trip to Hawaii many years ago. It looked very much like the picture on this blog. Would I trade settings? In a heartbeat! I do enjoy the warmer weather as opposed to the cold winters we have in Saskatchewan.

The next seventeen days are my time for rest and relaxation; I can do whatever I want, when I want. I no longer have the pull of expectations and demands with the exception of my dogs wants and needs. It's interesting though, for some strange reason it feels like a prelude to retirement.

Well it's time for a "want", I am going to make my self another fresh cup of java. I do wish I could teach my shepherd how to make coffee. She's tall enough to reach the counter. Whereas, my Sheltie is so high strung she would end up trying to round up the coffee beans she spilled on the floor. My toy poodle, well he could care less or give a rip, he's probably snoozing in his basket.

Till next time, Cheers!
