Sunday Strategizing

Do we look a little dusty around the edges?

We're just discussing what to do next with that

Siberific big hole we dug in the yard!

Friday fotos: critter check

Our snow is all gone, but we thought we'd show woo

one of our winter working dog duties...

After a big snow, we have to check and make sure no

critters took refuge in our emergency snow igloos...

Nope, seems critter free in here....

Jack, woo double-check that one while I look in this one...

...this one's all clear too

It's furry satisfying to do your job well!

Especially when it means extra treats & belly rubs!

Don't work too hard this weekend!

Jack a-roo & Miss Moo

Wednesday Woos- Snow fun!

Thank woo all for the nice messages yesterday!

Woo sure made me feel like one special girl!

Now, back to the snow pics I started to post on Monday...

We had quite the snowstorm on Saturday -

Dad, snow-blowing on Sunday morning..

Jack & I had a blast outside- we love to chase each other through the bushes.

Here's one of our "stand-offs"...whose gonna make the first move???

Aha! the ole' play bow maneuver!

Down woo go, big boy!

Ha-roo roo roo! I love to do that to him!

Its all in good Siberian fun!

Jack is such a good sport!

(Don't tell Moo, I let her get away with it, cause

then Mom feels bad fur me & I get extra attention!

I'm no fool!)

Hope woo have fun today, snow or no snow!

A-roos to yous, and toodle-woo!

Jack a-roo & Miss Moo

Gotch Day AnniMoosery!

Good Moorning everyone!

Its time again for The view from the Moo!

It finally happened - we got SNOW!!!

We've been enjoying it because it wont last long, the temps

are rising again, BUT, Jack ad I are maki.....

"HA-WOO! HI THERE EVERYBODY!"

Jack, woo interrupted me. I'm trying to post, now go away.

"Nope, not this time, Moo...cause we have a surprise for WOO!"

"What? Hey, what's going on here....?"

Hi Everyone, Jack here!

Today is a special day at our house, cause its

Moo's 2nd Gotch Day AnniMoosery!

Yup, two years ago today, Mom & Dad took me fur a drive and I met a spunky feisty little Sibette named Moo who came home with us that night and never left! Even thought I complain sometimes about her dragging me around by the neck, throwing me down, biting my legs, sitting on me, taking my chew toys, grabbing my treats, pushing me out of my bed, and hogging all the attention, well, I wouldn't trade her for all the kibble in the world! She's my sisfur!

Moo is one of the happiest, most playful pups

we've ever met, and we love her smile.

Mom collected some of the best of Moo's happy faces and put

them together in an album to celebrate her 2nd AnniMoosery.

Well, Jack, What a great surprise! I hardly know what to say, except....

...and that's this week's view from the Moo!

Toodle-woo!

Miss Moo

We are Grand Prize Winners!

Ha-woo! we had wonderful news yesterday!

We are the Grand Prize Winners

of Miss Kylie's 25 Days of Christmas contest!

The Grand Prize of $125.00 will be donated in our name

to the rescue/shelter of our choice!

We know there are many worthy causes, but our hearts went out

to this little girl when we read her story a while ago.

We are so very grateful to send this to Reatta, c/o Adopt-A-Husky

Reatta

Please read her story to see what a special girl she is.

Extensive surgery for her injuries required a specialist,

so her medical bills are a whopping $6000.00.

She is in the loving foster care of Adopt-A-Husky.

We pray her recovery continues to go well and she will find her very own fur-ever home one day soon! May she never ever know anything but love and kindness from now on!

We'll let mom fill you in on her own reasons why Reatta pulls on her heart strings:

My mother's name was Rita, (I assume that is how Reatta's name is pronounced, too), and we lived in IL (where Reatta was rescued) when we got our first husky, Star. We supported Adopt-A-Husky for years when we lived in OH, and met many wonderful people at their Husky Hikes. They are real angels to our Siberian friend in need!

We woo our thanks to Kylie, Jimmy, & their mom Ali

for such a wonderful Grand Prize!

Please be sure to come back for tomorrow's

View from the Moo, we'll be celebrating a "Special Day" here!

Pat, Jack & Moo

PS: If you would also like to help Reatta, donations can be made to Adopt-A-Husky. Thanks!

*S*N*O*W* on *S*A*T*U*R*D*A*Y*!*

Thank woo, Mama Nature!

Snow Bliss!

...and its really coming down hard now!

Woo-hoo!!!!!

Jack & Moo

Friday Frolic!

Woo-hoo, now this is what I'm talkin' bout, Mama Nature!

SNOW!

Not much of it, but there's a nice layer of ice underneath,

so its LOTS of fun to skitter around on!

Watch out Moo! Here I come!

Woo-hoo-- w-h-o-o-o-o-s-h-!

Leaped right over ya!

(dang, Mom just missed a great action shot)

You'll have to do better than that, big boy!

Mom's Easter Island guys look cold, maybe

mom should make them some coats?

Weather bipeds say there's more on the way, whoo-hoo!

Did I mention I love snow?

Happy Jack & Moo

Wed. Woo: Seriously?

Monday, 1 am: SNOW??

Proof of "snow" on a Sibe who moves faster than a camera flash:

7 am: all gone.

Seriously?

Monday's View from the Moo: Yee-haw! *edit

Good day everyone, time again for the View from the Moo!

It was a busy weekend here, at least for the bipeds.

They left us to our own devices while they went

about shopping & woozers, did we have a

hot-diggity-dog good time!

Yee-haw!

Kickin' up our Siberfloof!

We had fun! Mom & dad moved furniture around

& cleaned the floors & woodwork & windows & stuff.

THEN

some guys in a big truck came & stole our couches!

Yup, they carried them right outta the house!

Ha-roo??

OK, they put some new ones in their place.

We were't all that impressed but mom & dad seem to be.

They spent the evening lounging on the new stuff

saying "how comfy" it was. Oh, and also things like

"Paws off! No chewing!"

and stuff like that.*

We got extra treats, because we were

such extra good huskies thru it all.

So, in my view it all worked out ok.

And that's today's View from the Moo!

Toodle-woo!

Miss Moo

*a couple of woo asked if we get to try it out. The answer is "no."

(We have mean pawrents who don't allow us on any of the furniture.)

Scenic Sunday

Mom wanted to get some "scenic" shots, so she took us

for a walk at Swan Lake (that's what Jack calls it).

We're both actually in this shot,

but all woo can see of Jack is a bit of muzzle and a paw-

wanna see what we were looking at?

The swans of Swan Lake!

These guys are BIG. All the other ducks move out

of their way when they come swimming up!

Mom says she'll keep checking on them in hopes they

might have a family this spring.

...and here's the reason mom came to take pictures.

Moss.

She said she thinks it looks like Fairy Gardens....

It did look nice & soft - all sparkly in the morning light,

we touched it furry lightly...

...but it was still more interesting to watch the swans.

We hope woo have a scenic Sunday, too.

A-roos to yous and toodle-woo,

Jack a-roo & Miss Moo

Friday Fotos: Then & Now

Mom was looking at pictures from last Jan.

What a striking difference from last year!

Jan 2011:

Now, 2012:

Jan 2011:

Now, 2012:

We don't think Mother Nature is keeping to the

seasonal schedule very well this year.

Maybe she went on vacation?

Guess we'll have to be patient till she returns...

Jack-a-roo & Miss Moo,

Snowless on Aquidneck

Wooless Wednesday: Beach Beauties

The view from the Moo: Evening Edition

Ha-woo furiends!

I had all but given up on mom getting my View from the Moo up this week! She had some kind of deadline today, (although I think it would be much more fun to meet a lifeline)

I thought I'd post a few more pics from our beach adventure for woo to enjoy:

We walked on the stone pier.

It requires some careful stepping to avoid the big cracks!

On the rocky beach, we found remnants of an ancient civilization!

It must have been washed away by the waves,

we had to high-tail it not to get soaked ourselves!

We hit the high ground again, looking down to see

what the other side of the beach was like.

"Nothin but rocks."

We checked them out for interesting sniffs.

Ahhhhh! The sweet smell of seaweed, fish, & crabs!

Woo know what's funny about salt air?

It can make woo really tired after a while.

"All this salt air is making me tired..."

....and so we headed home. Those sniffs kept our brains busy all weekend!

And that's today's View from the Moo,

Toodle-woo!

Miss Moo
