Mistaya and I are trying to be very quite puppies today because M.O.M. is so sad.

M.O.M.'s mommy died and M.O.M. says her heart is broken.

So we are being very good quiet girls and of course we are sharing lot's of hugs and kisses with her when ever she needs them.

Mistaya and I will make sure she is all right and give her lot's of comfort.

Love and hugs to every one of you, Maggie and Mistaya

I am struggling to finding things to post about. I am considering ending this blog. Life is taking some different turns and my blog may not be something I will keep up with.  I will be sure to let all of you know if this come to be. Don't worry about me...I am in good health and very busy but ready to make some changes. Thank you all...lovingly, Gail and the girls.

M.O.M. said to tell you that she is sorry that she has been gone so long. She has many things to do and feels like she is using up all her spare time each day. She has promised us she will at least try to post a photo once in awhile so all of you will know we are all okay.  Thanks of understanding.

Oh, we almost forgot to tell you...we have SNOW!!! Lot's of snow! At the moment there is about 11 inches in our yard. We have had freezing rain all day and are hoping for warmer weather in the coming days.  We enjoy playing in the snow but it is sooo cold outside!  We don't even get to go to the beach! M.OM. said all our roads are covered with thick ice and the State Patrol has asked that everyone stay home this week. So we are!
Hugs and wags, Mistaya and Maggie

Christmas Day At Our House By The Sea

I took this picture of the pups in the back yard on Christmas Day. I am still not used to seeing green grass all year long nor nothing white lying on top of the grass.
I know Mistaya prefers the white stuff to play in and Maggie has experienced snow fall only once in her little life. I wonder if she remembers playing in it last winter?
I also took the following photos on Christmas day. I have never had plants flowering in any of my flower beds anytime during the winter!  It amazes me to see them still growing.

This rose is just about ready to burst into bloom any minute.

This Daisy has traveled with me from Washington, to Montana and now back to Washington and it never fails to produce beautiful flowers for me. They come in so many different color patterns. Some are pure yellow. some have brown streaks thru the peadals, some are covered in a beautiful brown hiding almost any of the yellow.

As I always say..."In the garden..where there's color there is hope."

Spring will be here soon!

Keep your family close and filled with love

OUR WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS GIFT EXCHANGE!!

Our Christmas Gift Exchange presents arrived in the mail from Maggie and Mitch several days before Christmas but M.O.M. made us wait all the way till Christmas Eve!!!!

The first thing we smelled...and ate..were some very delicious

Doggie Cookies...they were soooo yummy!

Then Maggie and I both tore into our presents and found two awesome soft toys.

Maggie grabbed the one with the stripped legs and arms first so I grabbed the cute gold one.

Wow, it made a great noise every time I bit into it!

Then I decided that since I am the older one that I should get my choice first.

So I went over and tried to take it away from Maggie and about that time she decided that the stripped one should be hers!!

So I decided that I wasn't going to settle for this behavior and was going to claim it as my own.

Maggie did not see it that way!!!

So we spent a few minutes arguing over this wonderful toy when I realized that if I didn't let Maggie play with it for awhile that it just might get torn into pieces.

So I released my tight grip on the toy and let her play with it for awhile before I took it and hide it in my secret hiding place.

I decided that a well earned nap was in order for me and that just might give Maggie a chance to get tired of the toys and the stripped one would be my own.

 Well, as you can see Maggie had different ideas about these two great toys.

She piled the two toys on top of each other......I am sure she did that because she just couldn't decide which one she wanted to play with first!

She then proceeded to chew on each toy for a few minutes, throw it up in the air, put it back on "her" pile and do the same thing with the other one.

This could be a problem.

That's okay, when she isn't looking I will steal my choice away from her and hide it good!!

Thank you Maggie and Mitch for the great presents...again!  We were lucky in the Christmas Gift Exchange last Christmas too!!  Mitch and Maggie had our names last year too!!

Yes, we are two very lucky...and happy...pups!!

Happy New Year everyone!
