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!

Snow Bliss!

Woo-hoo!!!!!

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...

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!

Seaside Sunset

Mom took us to the ocean yesterday! It was a perfect day outside- in the 50's, sunny, not too windy... She loves this photo except that its horribly out of focus if woo look at it big, but still nice at a distance!

But she was excited when she saw these next 2 -

she says these are "Keepers!"

It must have been the beawootiful light from this seaside sunset

that made all the difference.

Hope woo are having a spectacular weekend, too!

a-roos to yous & toodle-woo,

Jack a-roo & Miss Moo

Friday Foto Fun

Perfect weather for smackdown!

A-roos to yous & toodle-woo!

TheView from the Moo: 2012

Is it morning already?

We are partied-out pups!

Ha-roo roo! Just kidding, mom took that back when it was too hot to move, she said it looks like we were up too late partying too hard. Whatever...

Our New Year's Day windmill walk with mom...she made us wait in the car while she took this shot - she said we would "spook" the birds if she got us out. I'm not sure what she meant, I didn't see any ghosts. But the birdies all flew away when we hopped out of the car, so maybe they saw some ghosts.

Our pals the Mallards greeted us - their pond ice melted and they

were having a ball swimming around.

Miss Moo (that's me) snoofering the many interesting

smells around the stone walls -

Mr.Jack snoofered around the plants

and we posed pretty for one good shot -

we're smiling for all of woo-our blog pals!

What a great way to start off a new year! We hope everyone got off to a good beginning. If not, well, today's a new day, start over again. Keep smilin'!

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

Toodle-woo!
