Thankful Thursday

Hi everyone! It’s Millie & Walter here. We each have something to be thankful for this week. Millie will start us off. 

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 11 years since I came to my forever home!

What a cutie I was back then!

I was a little scared at first. When my foster parents left me at my new home I cried until I fell asleep, but when I woke up, I wasn’t scared any longer because I knew my new parents would love me forever. As you can see in the picture above, I was a small pup with floppy ears when I first got here. 

Look at me now!

Over the years I’ve added some grey to my muzzle and my ears are now both standing up! I’ve enjoyed every minute of being in my forever home, especially with Walter by my side. Now I’ll turn the post over to him.

I look good for my age.

This week I’m thankful for another year on this earth. I turned eleven this week, but I sure don’t feel old. I still can run at top speed around the yard, although mom and dad discourage it because they’re afraid I might hurt something, and I still jump like my legs are pogo sticks when I’m excited.

What a cute face!

My face might not have much black on it like I did when I was a puppy, but I’m still a puppy at heart.

We couldn’t be more thankful to be here in this home for as long as we have and celebrate an eleventh Gotcha Day (Millie) and an eleventh birthday (Walter). We’re joining the Thankful Thursday blog hop and want to remember Brian, the blog hops’ name’s sake, who went to the Bridge earlier this week. You should stop by and see what everyone else is thankful for today.

Thankful Thursday by Walter

Hi everyone! It’s Walter here. Sorry we’ve been gone so long. There really is no excuse other than the weather wasn’t great for getting out and taking pictures and our mom has been working on multiple craft projects (she’ll tell you more about them later).

What do you think I’m thankful for today?

Today I’m celebrating my 9th Gotcha Day! I couldn’t be happier to celebrate 9 wonderful years with my pawrents and my sister, Millie. Whether we are enjoying our backyard…

Just a couple of pups hanging out on the bench.

…or wrestling around inside…

It’s Wrestle Mania Time!

…Millie and I always have a great time together. I couldn’t have landed in a better home for me. I always want to thank the wonderful people at the rescue we came from, who sadly aren’t doing it anymore, and my foster parents that helped me transition from the sad situation I came from. This day always makes me reflect and wonder how my brother that was also rescued with me is doing. I like to imagine he is as happy as I am.

It’s a nice day today and we are heading out to watch our pawrents do some yard work while we work on removing treats from our Kongs. I’m sure after we come in the scene will look something like this…

Two contented pups crashed out on the bed.

Nature Friday – It’s Snow Fun!

Hi everyone! It’s Millie and Walter here. We are happy to report that we got our Christmas wish to finally have some decent snow to play in! (Be sure to click on the images to get a bigger view)

It’s a winter wonderland!

The snow smooshed down the beautiful grasses in our perennial garden, but it was bound to happen eventually. 

What are you doing back there dad?

The snow wasn’t deep, but it came down wet, so it stuck to everything!

What a tranquil scene

We had fun wandering around and occasionally doing some zoomies, too.

Uh oh! I think I see Walter stalking me.

See if you can spot Walter in the next picture. You might have to click on it to make it bigger.

Do you see him?
I blend in so well Millie won’t see me coming.

We hope you enjoyed seeing our winter wonderland. Luckily, we haven’t had any warm weather, so the snow is sticking around for a while plus we’re expected to get a little more snow almost every day for the next week!

Selfie Sunday – Snow Fun!

Hi everyone. It’s Millie and Walter here. We finally got a decent amount of snow and were able to enjoy some time playing in the yard. The temperature wasn’t too cold so that it, plus wind chill, wasn’t so bad either. In our opinion it was close to perfect winter weather.

I love getting snow on my face.

We had fun chasing each other and sniffing under the snow for critters. 

What’s Millie doing over there?

We hope you all had a fun day and were able to get out a bit and explore in the cold or warmth of wherever you live.

Wordy Wednesday – Hanging Out At Home

Hi everyone! It’s Millie and Walter here. Like most you the world we’ve been staying close to home.

We had beautiful weather over the weekend.

The yard was finally dry enough for us to get out and do a little sniffing…

…and a little wrestling.

We hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy.

Nature Friday – Snow Play

Hi everyone! It’s Millie & Walter here. We know some of you don’t really like the snow but for us there’s no place we would rather be.

I like looking for buried treasure.

Here is a little video of some of our snow play fun.

If you can’t see the video you can go here to view it.

I love pouncing on Millie while she has her head under the snow.

After I do a fly by I land and relaunch.

Get ready Millie…

…here I come again!

We just love playing in the snow and are happy that today we got a lot more of it. If Mother Nature brings you snow we say to embrace it and have fun playing in it.

Wordless Wednesday – Snow Fun!

Hi everyone! It’s Millie & Walter here. We just love playing in the snow.

I love to roll…

…and dig tunnels.

I love to pounce on her…

…while she’s rolling. BOL!

Here’s hoping you all enjoy some good snow fun. We’re expected to get some more in the next couple of days! Woo Hoo!!

Nature Friday – Snow Portraits

Hi everyone! It’s Millie & Walter here. We’ve been enjoying our snowy backyard and being able to get out and play in it. Between playing and zoomies we like to pose for pictures or are we watching out for squirrels?

First I check to my right.

Then I check to my left.

You always have to keep your eyes out for those squirrels. They have lots of nuts stashed all over our yard.

I thought I saw a squirrel over there Millie.
No, I’m sure he went this way Walter.

Either way he went if he is out here we will get him.
(fun fact: if you make the picture bigger you can see Walter in my eye on your left and the photographer in my eye on the right)

We hope you enjoyed seeing us watching out for those pesky squirrels in our yard.
