I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm....

Sometimes I think we live in a park now.  There are so many big trees and some hills and I really love going on my walks now, so I go on three BIG walks everyday!!

It's been really cold, but yesterday was warm!  And the sun was shining and we all got in the car!  Oh boy!  I know what that means!   Yep.  We went to the pretty park again with a stream and ducks and all kinds of good smelly stuff!

It was such a nice day that there were lots and lots of dogs running around!  I met a little dog named Molly.  She kind of looked like me, only smaller, haha, and a different color....but we sniffed and wagged our happy meters and jumped around a little and got tangled up in our leashes!  

Golly, I saw a Doberman and a Border Collie and a Golden and a Labradoodle and a bull dog.  They weren't too close to me so I just yelled "Hello!" to them.  

This time we started to go across a bridge, but it was scary!  It made noise and was wobbly and I felt wobbly and I didn't like it, so we turned around.  There was another bridge that didn't wobble, so I was okay with that one.

Then we sat down and I had a snack and some water.  A family came up to me.  A girl was in a rolling chair and wanted to meet ME.  So I, Harry Spotter, tried to make myself as tall as I could.  She liked me.  I liked her, too!

Then a man came up and asked to meet me.  He pat my head and held my face and told me how handsome I am!  

Then we walked again and there were some boys on bicycles.  They wanted to meet me, too.  I'm a pretty popular pup!  

Before we went home I met another little dog.  We rubbed noses!

Then it was almost suppertime.  I know because my tummy was telling me what time it was.  

I had lots of fun at the park!

We had a rogue warm day and it seemed like everyone came out to the park.  Dogs galore!  Mr. Spotter was uptail and waggy.  There is something about Harry that people pick up on.  I didn't see other dogs getting the attention he was.  It must be his gentle nature.  Anyway, he got pets and compliments and some nice social time with some other pups.  

The only thing he didn't care for was one bridge which is a suspension bridge over the rather large "creek."  To tell the truth, I didn't like it, either!  The slats moved and made noise when you stepped on them.  It is a very substantial bridge and I have no doubt it is sturdy and strong, but it freaked Harry out, I could see him start to tremble, so we quickly turned around and went back to the banks.

All in all, it was a very lovely day.

The weather outside is frightful....

I don't know where you are, but where I am it is very, very COLD!!  Super duper cold!  I like to stay snuggled up with Mom in the morning for as long as I can!  And I get right down to business when we have to go out.  All I want to do is get back inside where it's warm.

My pack is getting ready for a storm.  I can tell.  We are all stocked up with stuff.  And my popcorn is spread all over the bed.  And I have a sweater and my Kodiac coat, too, if I need them.  

Mom has been making my food warm!  Oh, boy, I like that!  It smells so good and it's just for me and I don't care if my coat is still on, I leap into the kitchen for my breakfast and suppertime!  Yay!

So, you better get ready, too.  Make sure you have food and warm things.  Don't stay outside too long.  Don't even go out if you don't have to!!!   Stay inside and snuggle.  I'm not kidding!

A huge winter storm is expected tomorrow.  Some snow, but the biggest problem will be the severe winds combined with frigid temperatures.  Bring your pets inside.  Don't expose them to this, it is dangerous.  

We have Harry's "popcorn" throw on the bed for an extra layer of warmth.  He has a comfy sweater, which he hates, and his heavy, lined coat.  Even so, our walks are abbreviated.  As soon as he does his "business" he heads right back for the door!  Good boy!
