Well when it’s this danged cold, what’s a guy supposed to other than hibernate – right? I mean we haven’t had all that snow like folks up north have but when you wake up and the thermometer says TWELVE degrees and the wind’s blowing, you just know it’s PRETTY COLD.
SO, Mom snapped these shots of “this old guy” yesterday………….this is ME doing what I do best………….
I call this the “pre-sleep trance” position…..
This is the “If you’d get that danged camera out of my face I’d put my head down and sleep” position!
I have no exciting stories of what I did outside when I was out there with Mom because while I have stuck my NOSE out the door a few times, I did not stick the REST of me out there. No way. And to think that in my youth (or at least a few years ago when I was younger than now) I used to do THIS!
Brrrrr!
I musta been nuts back then…..
I’ve been saving this for when I redo my blog header after Thanksgiving – because I definitely want to use it in my Holiday blog header……….but I love it SO MUCH I want to show you what my beautiful friend Nellie – Cat From Hell (although I think she’s heavenly) did for me – won’t it look FAB-U-LICIOUS on a Holiday header for my bloggy?????? Thank you Nellie Bellie!
All I can do is tell you to STAY WARM…….that’s at the TOP of my personal list of “THINGS TO DO” !
Warm Hugs,
Sammy

I wonder if I would like snow? Every few years, a couple of towns closer to the mountains get a little snow (really only a couple inches), and my human says that if that happens this year, she is taking me up to check it out! Okay, so it’s not like what you East Coasters get, but it’s probably the best I can do for now.

Summer, snow is interesting…..it’s cold on the feet but tastes pretty good…….these pix of me in the snow were from way back but I DID enjoy following Mom around in the yard….she’d make paths for me with her boots and I’d travel in the paths – she thought it was fun to make a kind of “maze” in the snow for me to follow. Humans are weird sometimes BUT it was kinda fun! If you ever do get to see snow, I’ll be anxious to hear how you like it!

Geez, your weather doesn’t sound much nicer than ours. It was +3 C or 38 F yesterday. Today it’s raining. Actually this is above normal for us but we’ll be seeing snow again tomorrow as it goes to 0 C or 32 F.
You were really brave to dash through the snow back then. Don’t we do silly things when we’re younger? I could tell you stories that would make your hair stand on end. When I was 16, we all drove over to a friends farm to have a bonfire. But first, we climbed up a tall haystack to watch the stars and drink beer. We were all teasing each other about falling off when suddenly the corner I was sitting on gave way and me and a friend fell probably 16 feet to the ground. He hit the ground first and I hit him. I cracked my chin open on his eye socket. We both ended up in ER for stitches. The moral of the story? Always sit in the MIDDLE of a haystack. hehe.
