A new year

Hello everyone! I hope your New Year celebrations were good, albeit quiet I suspect. Here we are, on the third day of a brand new year. May it be a good one, filled with love, laughter, good health and hopefully a return to a somewhat normal life.

Our week leading to January 1 was quiet. We haven't done much at all except taking Cooper for his appointment with the internal medicine specialist on Tuesday. He had a good physical exam and his weight is stable.  He had some blood work done and we got the results on Thursday. Not what we were hoping for so we were disappointed. We go back in four weeks for a repeat of the blood work. It's a process and we hope the results will be better.  On the bright side, our vet thought Cooper looked and felt really good.  He is his old self and for that, we are grateful.

Yesterday, we had our first significant snow fall of the season, about 8 cm. The snow was so fluffy that Russell used a broom to create paths in the backyard. I later used a shovel to make the paths more defined. We had some fun retrieve games in the backyard and the pooches enjoyed it. I have to say that we've had a good Winter so far. Not trying to jinx it, just saying. This week is looking beautiful, relatively mild and sunny. 

Yesterday, as we were about to feed Cooper & Spicy, I noticed that it was brighter outside. Yep, the days are getting longer my friends, there is no doubt about it.

That's my blog for today, short and sweet. I wish you all a great week. Stay well and safe! 

Sometimes on a walk, you have to stop and smell
the bushes...Cooper is champ bush sniffer, 
Spicy not so much.

A nice dusting of fluffy snow in the backyard.

Cooper and Spicy enjoy wide paths in the snow
for running and other 'activities'!
