This morning my dog Nanook wanted her usual walk. I knew that it was cold but I had no idea. I dressed warm but I couldn't shield myself enough from the bitterness of the weather and the wind. Nanook didn't seem to mind much . I know she is husky and huskies are cold weather dogs but poor thing right now, she looks kind of pathetic. As is common especially in her breed and after having puppies (she had eight!) she has lost a tremedous amount of fur and her tail that was really full and pretty before looks ratty right now and sparse. In time she will recover, at least she seems to be healthy. This is going to be her last litter of puppies before she is spayed. She's at least 4 years old and we are simply interested in her for a beloved pet and companion. She has the most wonderful and gentle personality. Perhaps when it is time to bring her in to see about the surgery I can get something to help her with her coat if she still needs it but I think it should be better in time. It was really nice to meet my blogging friend Marci and her son Liam when they came to pick up their puppy Leo this last weekend, Nanook's last puppy here. I am more confident than ever that Leo has a real nice home and is and will continue to be loved! It is also nice to be able to see the photos she posts of Leo.

We also had grandchildren come over this weekend. The picture is one of the 3 year old twins with my husband. Happy coloring time. I love my husband he is so good and loving !
Have a great afternoon everyone!

  5. Leo is so cute. He reminds me of my sister's dog. Oh, and, of course, your granddaughter is precious.
