In my opinion, even though February is the shortest month, it can sometimes feel like the longest month. Maybe it’s because I’ve had enough of the cold weather or maybe it’s because March has some fun to look forward to with lots of birthdays, spring break, and hopefully warmer temps, but either way, February is the here and now for the moment, so we might as well try to enjoy it.
The kids have enjoyed the snow and ice days off from school. So far, I don’t think they’ve gone a full week since coming back from winter break. Delays and days off make for a happy puppy. She loves all the extra snuggle time in the morning and all the extra company during the day.
These two enjoyed a fun Valentine’s Day with parties, treats, heart shaped donuts, and funny conversations about Valendintes from boys (which I’m sure is only a sneak peak of what’s to come).
The ice and snow keep us from doing as many hikes as we do in the warmer temps, but we still get Cayenne her usual exercise and take advantage of opportunities to get out and explore when we can.
The other day I had the opportunity to take her out for a bit one afternoon and just let her run and explore off-leash (which she loves). At 2 1/2, she’s matured a lot, and we can trust her to stay with us when she’s not on her leash, and that makes for a nice break from her usual routine of walking/running on leash around the neighborhood.
There was quite a bit of noise activity on the pond. I’m not sure what all the bird chatter was about, but on our walk around the pond, Cayenne ran up to a rock at the top of a hill to sit at attention and take in all the activity down on the pond.
It was a bit windy and cold, but at least the sun was out, and we both enjoyed being out.
I love your pictures, they are definitely PB quality when he was in his prime!!!mouse
