So as my fellow New Englander’s are aware we have had several days with negative windchill temperatures, today being one of them. It is very unusual that I do not walk with the Wilma and Gus but on a day where there are windchill warnings dropping the temperature below zero an indoor day it becomes. On these days we have lots of cuddles, relaxing, and usually a new bone. Today I decided to also pull out one of the brain puzzles. It has probably been at least a year since Wilma tried this activity, and a first time with Gus. First it was Wilma’s turn. I was soooo impressed with Wilma who followed commands (as I expected) and knew exactly how to open the doors and move pieces over to ensure she devoured every treat. Just so smart! And next it was Gus’ turn to try out this fun game. Gus had no idea what to do and seemed a little nervous with this new game. He was not even drawn in by the treats, or my hints. It was quite funny watching him, my sweet boy. So glad to try some brain games today…not only a good way to practice training, but also test the skills of the snout (haha!) Maybe better luck with Gus next time (haha). A nice little variety in our day!

The weekly Video/Photo section highlights an Adventure, while I might also sneak in some that are humorous, adorable, or just other fun dog moments. If you have followed my blog from the beginning you know that I adopted Shadow as a puppy, and about a year later adopted Buster as a puppy.  We had many wonderful years together before experiencing the devastating loss of Buster at just seven.  It took a long time for our hearts to heal, but almost a year after his passing we welcomed little Wilma into our world.  We were devastated to loose Shadow on April 3, 2020.These two precious boys boys will be furever in our hearts! We were recently thrilled to add another amazing rescue, Gus, to our home on June 28, 2021! This Weekly Video/Photo section will allow me to share photos from all four of my rescues, whether it be a precious memory, or a current moment.

Today’s photograph is one of Shadow and Buster at one of our adventures to Willard Brook Park. I used to frequent this park with this pair, and absolutely love this perfect pose. These boys were my first amazing duo, instantly best buds. I sure do miss them by my side! Here they are:

Today Gus finally got to see his first real snow! We have had ice, slush and flurries but today was the first fluffy, plowable snow, totaling just about six inches. Gus was quite curious at first but soon warmed up and had a blast! Wilma and Gus spent most of their time playing ball, keep away, and searching for the ball in the snow. We also made sure to enjoy some cuddles and warm, cozy naps on this snowy day! A wonderful day of fun…just need to work on training them to shovel (haha)!

Time for some videos….

Today’s photograph is one I took last week of Wilma and Gus in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Plymouth is lovely walking town which we visit every so often. I spotted this coastal Christmas tree from afar and of course could not resist posing my adorable pair at this location. If you live locally make sure you take some time to check out Plymouth. Here they are:

I just wanted to give a quick update on my blog. For those who follow us regularly you may be aware I have been slacking on my Weekly Photo and Throwback sections. I have been disappointed in myself but there has been alot going on around me, distracting me from this consistency. I have decided to temporarily discontinue the Throwback blog as I have had some time to share old blogs. However on occasion I may add, or share one, but will not plan on having this as a weekly blog. I will get back to my Weekly Photo/Video posting. I guess this is as close to a New Year’s resolution as I get (haha)! Looking forward to sharing some old and new photos and videos!

Today Wilma and Gus enjoyed a Dunkin Donuts donut! Unfortunately I have a slight addiction to Dunkin Donuts coffee. On occasion while ordering through the drive thru they offer the pups a donut. On our visit today they actually provided us two in a bag, so I took this treats home for them to enjoy. Honestly, I only gave them each half as it really does not seem like they need to be eating an entire donut. However they were more than pleased and Gus took some time trying to figure out how to best devour this unique treat.

I have lost my creativity for new adventures this week. Can you tell it has been raining for days? (haha!) Although I can promise we still took a rainy, local walk before stopping at Dunkin Donuts. Here they are…yum yum!

Merry Christmas from Wilma, Gus, and I! I hope all of our friends and followers had a wonderful time with family and friends. I am blessed to have a very special and loving family to celebrate with on this special day! Below you will see some of my favorites from today and leading up to our the holiday.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Today we were excited to do a photo shoot with Santa! This was Gus’ first time meeting Santa! I was not sure what to expect as Gus is often nervous around those he does not know let alone someone so magical (haha!) However I thought it would be fun, and love these holiday photos so thought we would attempt this meeting. Gus was a little nervous but I was surprised that he was pretty brave. He did not want to get too close to Santa, however warmed up a bit, and I would guess if it was not a very short visit he likely would have ended up in his lap.

As expected Wilma was the perfect poser, and was quite eager to eat the treats provided by Santa and his reindeer. I am not sure why I find these kind of events and photos so entertaining, but I just love these moments and snapshots.

I wanted to thank Quite Fetching Barkery and Pet Boutique in Grafton, Massachusetts! They not only host events like meetings with Santa Clause they also have amazing cakes, and a shop. Definitely check them out if you are a crazy dog mama like me!

Today’s photograph is from Camden, Maine this past October. I asked this adorable pair to sit, and being that they were on the steps, the pose was just priceless. Here they are: Wilma and Gus!

This weekend Wilma, Gus, and I went on long local walks, in order to give me time to catch up on the endless leaves and my yard. We were lucky that the weather was warmer than it could be this time of year. Wilma and Gus loved playing ball, running and chasing, sharing sticks, keep away with the balls and toys, and lounging in the sun. It really was a refreshing weekend although I only have fifteen bags done, and still many more to go. I figured I would share some fun photos of this perfect pair, enjoying being outside. Cheers to the endless leaves!
