Window of Weather

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
"On cable TV they have a weather channel - 24 hours of weather. We had something like that where I grew up. We called it a window."
Maggie's twig & sunshine

  Rain, rain, rain came down, down, down.... This song is from Winnie the Pooh's Blustery Day. This morning I thought the song was about my neighborhood. I looked outside the window and rain, rain, rain with blustery wind was everywhere. No, I didn't need to turn on the TV's weather channel for today's forecast! Outside was wet as ever. It spoiled my desire to walk in the sunshine with Maggie like we did yesterday. It meant getting the beach towels out to dry Miss Maggie off after our walk. Maggie won't have time to leisurely pick up twigs in the sunshine. The wet ground for her spells "t-r-a-c-k-i-n-g". She'll be sniffing the wet ground thinking she's gone "tracking" somebody's scent again. Pooh's blustery day of pools of water are everywhere. Maybe we'll see Piglet's note in a bottle stating HELP or Pooh in a honey pot go floating by? Yes, the window tells all for our blustery day ahead. Rain, rain, rain came down, down, down... but, with Maggie any day is fun rain or shine!

Maggie Mooseology

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?” 

  My dog Maggie is constantly nibbling on sticks, leaves, and twigs. It likens her to the herbivore Moose family. If I take her out for a walk, especially on an early overcast morning the dewy grass has a strong pull for her. Like today, gray as gray gets. Sorry Maggie-no grass. The only bright spot visible on this gray walk was the white blossoms on a tree along our walk.
As I shot the photo of the tree filled with white blossoms Maggie found herself some nice little twigs for a breakfast starter. The real deal (dog food) was at home. Maggie's favorite conversations with me originate with food (the only exception being the word BALL). She knows the words EAT & TREAT very well. Her little Springer spaniel tail wags back and forth upon hearing them. Our friendship grows with few words and some good times together. Winnie-the-Pooh's; "What about lunch?" just about sums it up with a walk tossed in to toast to our health!
