A number of houses in our neighborhood have these little lending libraries, I was pleased to see this one open even in the heavy snow.

None Shall Pass
Ellie and I were on our way home when the heavy snow had folded tall branches down over the sidewalk. “Looks like nature itself has blocked our path, pup, we’ll have to find another way forward.”
“It’s the Mines of Moria for us then?”
“Let’s try the street first, there are no cars coming. Still, be on the lookout for a Balrog!”
“I’m not worried!”
“My brave and faithful Ellie!”
“I can run faster than you.”

Me Too
“I wish you, the person reading this finds love and happiness.”
“I wish for all dogs to have a loving home.”
This one found a loving home and brought love and happiness with her.
As the snow continued to fall I wanted a picture of Ellie beside the Wishing Tree, one of my favorite places on our walks, as my wish was for her to have at least one more chance to play in the snow. So maybe I wished a little too hard and that’s why we ended up with this unusually heavy snow in January. We made the best of it, the pup and I, I’ll never forget that day.
My Subaru Goes Incognito
Nice try little Crosstrek but the wheels still give you away.
Home Sweet Home
Hard to believe we’ve lived here for 15 years, the time has gone by quickly. The house itself is probably 90 years old and has been a great home for us.
The Big Dog Bed
A while back we took our bed off the frame and set the box springs on the floor so it would be easier for our elderly pup to jump onto the bed. Recently we also added some throw rugs to give her better traction on the hardwood. After a visit to the vet yesterday to have her teeth cleaned and a few pulled, Ellie was in recovery mode and still a little wobbly from the anesthesia. Ellie was a bit restless when my wife came to bed so she encouraged Ellie to jump in beside me as I was already sound asleep. Ellie did not however make enough room for my wife to join us as well so she slept in the guest bedroom.
This picture is from the summer when we were enjoying the air conditioner in our bedroom, her smile will be missing her small front teeth from now on, as well as a growth that had developed the past few months at the front of her mouth.
Winter Is Here But Spring Is Coming
Resist.
