Twists and Saturday Critters

 Welcome to another

 SATURDAY'S CRITTERS 

and I'm also posting to City Daily Photo

It seems Minnesota is locked in a never-ending cycle of twists and turns when it comes to the weather, and it seems to be spreading. My daughter in Alabama has had temperatures in the 70's and 80's and yesterday a high of only 40 degrees. 

Misty is freshing groomed and feeling oh so happy!




I enjoy a world that increasingly consists of more critters.

Don't you?




And Mr. Dash, he gets so exhausted after a day at the groomers.


Tuesday was grooming day for my two winter-weary-and furry-pups, just before their buddies come for a stay-over.

This foursome really knows how to truly carry on with joyful play.




Little Miss sweet Emme




Darling sweet Bagsley


We have a lot of roaming and sniffing around acreage to investigate but unfortunately it seems winter doesn't care to cooperate with our outdoor adventures.




Guess who is bewildered yet hopeful for dry-green-grasses to hide little precious eggs?


Every contraction is naturally followed by an expansion; every time you feel your heart shrivel be confident that it will blossom in turn.

Rumi




So, there's a lot of window-watching going on.


Oops, it's a bunny alert again and the dogs go wild!


Below hiding pretty much in plain sight and blending perfectly.



No matter where they are the doggie foursome patrol never misses anything. Never ever.



So as the snow continues to fall, Harry says, "I'll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending I'm not there." 


Every object, every being,



is a jar full of delight.

Be a connoisseur, and taste with caution.

Any wine will get you high.

Judge like a king, and choose the purest,

the ones unadulterated with fear,

or some urgency about "what's needed."

Drink the wine that moves you



as a camel moves when it's been untied,

and is just ambling about.

Rumi




You lose in life, not because of failing, but because of not participating.

"Live like a tree, giving, forgiving and free."

and when winter remains, bring those bulbs home to bloom. It's like blooming wherever you're planted.


Speaking of blooming, absolute proof that pups truly have the gift of the pursuit of happiness and owning it. My daughter just sent me some photos of her morning outing.




Every pup's dream, mud-pie-face.



Too much exercise, must drink.


Thanks for stopping in.

Take good care of you

and enjoy your moments.
