Blue Monday



Well, yesterday was completely void of Picardy antics.

We were at the leash free yesterday and were talking 'weather' over steaming hot coffees with other leash-free patrons and agreed that to date, us 'dog owners' have been completely blessed this winter - very litle snow, mild temps... But hey, we know its coming...the frigid, crisp mornings and the unending snow drifts...Now that I think about it, it has 'Blue Picardy' written all over it! Zoë is such a snow dog! When we did have snow a couple weeks ago, she was delighted. She'd bury her head up to her shoulders, bound through the drifts with complete joy and jump (a great vertical by the way!) to catch snow flakes. To see this is a complete treat - it is done with such absolute abandon and utter happiness it would bring a smile to anyone's face.

Today, up at the leash-free our favourite Blue romped with 8 other carefree doggies, but then retreated to spend some quality time eating wood chips! Of course, this is an activity that we completely frown upon. It is just way too dangerous. But, it is nearly impossible to catch her when she's off leash. We do the best we can, but there is more than the odd piece that slips by.

Zoë didn't sleep much this afternoon, so tonight she's completely zonked out on the couch beside Kypros. This means that the pup is out for the night and so am I!

Until tomorrow,
