Nice While it Lasts

An unexpected snow day closed my office today.  With no favorite snow day (junk) food, we made due with relatively healthy food instead.

With this unexpected day at home, I had plans at the start of it to get a few things done. But in the end, I didn't really do anything.
~New boy, Mohawk, watching the birds~
Todd never has days like I've had.  A Scottie stays busy and is sharp in any weather!
And a Scottie never forgets.  Todd was back at the same spot later, trying to catch the hidden trespasser!
While Todd and the other dogs were enjoying the snow, I was noticing how it had made everything look so fresh and clean.  But it's going to quickly disappear but not before freezing rain makes it all turn to ice. Tomorrow a predicted 30 degree warm up and rain is in the forecast.  We'll be back to the mud and mess.  It was nice while it lasted.

  1. Todd, we saw someone who looked just like you at the beach yesterday near Santa Barbara. Like you, he was busy and interested in everything!

  2. We are getting lots of snow tomorrow. No real complaints here since we are way below average for this time of year.

  5. What strange weather we are having as well. Never know from one day to the next and neither does the weatherman/woman.

  6. Mohawk, I'm a bird watcher also. Unfortunately all the birds I watch are female like me. I'll send you a card and you can give it out to the unattached male birds there. It was 82 and sunny here in Arizona and I'm desperate. Have a male bird fly down soon, pullleeeeze.

  7. I do miss a cat on the inside looking out ...
    Yep, that nice clean snow does turn out messy, doesn't it? Nice to have a day off though, wasn't it?

  10. The snow is indeed beautiful. We have had only a sprinkling this winter. And, Gus really loves to play in the frosty stuff. Maybe, there is still a chance for him!
    Thinking of Jake. Sure hoping his treatment eases his spinal narrowing. Poor. sweet boy. Maybe the acupuncturist can help him like your boy Gus.

  12. Hello, it is a mess this morning. Ice on top of yesterday's snow. Your Todd is a great watchdog. Mohawk is cute watching the birds from the window. Stay warm and safe. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!

  13. After 3 days of record breaking cold we are getting a snow day today. Have a foot in the forecast and we live to far from our offices to risk it.
    Hope it stays pretty for a few days so you can enjoy it!

  15. Todd is such a pretty color!!!! It's unusual for a Scottie, love it! Isn't it a bummer when there is a snow day and you ONLY have HEALTHY food!? UGH!! catchatwithcarenandcody

  16. Is Todd trying to get another mole or vole?

    We get nothing done if it snows or storms here. Don't know why that is, exactly! But I come to a halt.

  17. It's true we Scotties are very hard headed.

    Aroo to you,

  19. Snow ! We had the worst day of the winter so far. A thin coating of frost on the windscreen.

    Sunny's stand alone mysticism makes a wonderful photo.

  26. Yes, mud and mess. We're having that down here now. :)

    I'm glad you had a restful snow day.

  27. We have had a very mild and wet winter so far, nice when you get a day off work due to snow though! X

  28. That's no fun...having no junk food around when you need it! We had a LOT of snow yesterday and quite a bit more today so I'm about done with it for awhile. It is not supposed to stick around as we are warming up also! That Todd...always on the job...patrolling his territory! Hope all is well with you!

  29. lol offices never close because of snow in Montreal, or any other major city in Canada, except Charlottetown, PEI where they wait for a storm to have moved through before clearing the roads. Lucky Islanders! We only dream of snow days in the rest of the country!

  30. Whenever I say I wish it would snow in Perth my hubby (who is from the UK) said snow looks good on Christmas cards but in reality it can be a darned nuisance.
    Love the one of the cat at the window. He looks so alert but it's good he's inside and the birds are outside.
