Happy Holidays Deerie ones

I am sorry I’ve been offline for a while. A bit of a set back with illness in the family. All is well now I am happy to report.

The weather turned mild with a Texas low bringing rain & wind on Christmas Day. The snow is mostly all gone now. I would like to see a couple of feet on the ground soon. The dogs love playing in the white fluffy stuff! OK I love it too!

Things have been rather dull for Cailean lately. We haven’t been getting out and about as much as usual. We started going back to the leash free park once she was well out of her season which has been marvellous for her; she sure does enjoy her play with other dogs. I’m not sure if it is hormonal & related to post season blues but Cailean has been more tentative than is usual for her. I find it curious that a normally confident exuberant dog should display what seems to be uncharacteristic caution and even timidity. She will run hell bent for leather if she feels like it and get into a great game of tag with other dogs; however she will give up the game rather quickly and be ready to move on to explore the woods which is very unusual for her. I have taken to keeping my bedroom closet closed after she has twice now tried dragging shoes, knitting & anything she can get a hold on to make a nest. We are sure she’s not in the family way, I guess it’ll take a little longer for her to figure it out.

Here’s a couple of recent pictures of her.
