My favorite Calendar Picture!

This is the photo for April on my Collie calendar. I just love it! I call it "The Running Duffies"! I would love to have 3 Collies--one of each color!! One day!

Athletic Duffy

Wednesday morning, Dave and Duffy were playing outside and I grabbed the camera and took some pictures. The yard looks very different this morning with a couple of inches of snow covering everything that doesn't have 1/2 an inch of ice on it! Notice the pile of branches--that's what Dave pruned off the 2 big apple trees and I carried and piled them in the garden.  Dave has to bring the chipper up here to dispose of the branches.

This is my fave-I think only one paw is on the ground!

Do I love my Duffy--oh yes! Do I take too many pictures of him? Oh probably, but why not!

Birthdays!

A Happy, Happy Birthday to Squishy aka Diana!!! You now join me in the decade of being in one's 50's! Of course I'm rapidly (far too rapidly!) heading into the next decade!

 Have a wonderful day! You deserve it!

XXOO
From Duffy and Dianne!

What a Difference Two Weeks Makes!

It's Easter weekend and the snow is almost all gone! Just some hold-out patches of ice in very shady spots. Yesterday I spent all afternoon raking up the back yard and cleaning out the big flower bed where the irises grow. The yard sure looks a lot better than it did a couple of weeks ago. And of course I had my faithful companion and supervisor Duffy to keep me to the tasks!

Oh oh--tail's up! Barking at someone going down the sidewalk!

Coming to tell me I did a good job and now let's play!

Notice the lawn chair and the snow shovel--only in Canada!

To finish the tale of Kort and Jolene at the Camrose Dog Show--Kort got 2 points as Winners Dog on Sunday! Yay for Kort and Jolene! Now just one more point to get his championship. Jolene says I'm her good luck charm because Kort got all but 2 of his points when I was in attendance at the shows! Does that mean a trip to Medicine Hat is in order? LOL
