Fab Friday ~ November 10, 2017

~ Tails Around the Ranch

Friday has finally arrived and it seems some of us around the Ranch definitely need some R&R. Looks like winter is starting to appear around many areas of the US, thanks to a lovely Arctic cold front being delivered by from our northern Canadian friends. So while relaxing, the curly-haired Ninja stays warm by chasing sun puddles. She looks so innocent when she sleeps, doesn’t she? Are you doing anything exciting?

Chasing sun puddles

Live, love, bark! ❤︎

  1. We just want to share the snow fun. 🙂 My little munchkins are all curled up in front of the wood stove that’s roaring away right now.

      Nothing more cozy than stretching out in front of a nice toasty fire.

  3. Ninja sure does look sweet when she sleeps. My weekend was spent trying to recover from a cold (unsuccessfully). It sure is cold out there!

      Oh no, it’s too early in the season to have a cold! Hope you feel better soon. Should be a few nice days of sunshine this week so hopefully that’ll help.

  9. Sand Spring Chesapeakes – Cambria, WI – My husband and I have six "furry" children Gambler, Glory, Guilty, Slammer, Gertie and one cat Bones and two furangel's Norman and Nellie. We breed Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. We are both avid hunters. We also enjoy competing with our dogs in hunt tests and field trials. That is where you can find us during the trial months which are April-September. When were not at a trial we are busy training our dogs. We go snow goose hunting in Canada each year and do all the hunting that Wisconsin offers.

  10. A walk with a friend, a book presentation….enjoying the Autumn weather here, the chill in the air (not the Arctic chill though).

  11. The electricity board have been working just outside our gates, so the horde have been busy supervising them…it involves a lot of running up and down and barking so they are now sleeping the sleep of the just – with one eye open for anything falling from the work surface as I bone some lamb.

  12. My Golden Life – Upstate South Carolina – I love animals, especially dogs. I enjoy US history, and reading biographies of our former presidents and other historical figures. I love the music of the '60s and '70s since I was growing up in those decades. I love the Beatles and Andy Williams equally.

    Our little wild child looks innocent when she’s sleeping too. But, oh, when she’s awake? Watch out world! She’s at daycare today, so hopefully she’ll be a bit calmer when I get her home later!

      Wearing them out is definitely key with wild fur-chill’uns. Otherwise they will make you cray-zee!

      Indeed it does which for a dog with epilepsy is not a great thing. I have to watch her since her core temps run too high sometimes and can be dangerous. But on crisp days, it feels good. Have a great weekend!

  14. It is our first weekend home in a long while! Unfortunately, this means there are things that need to get done around the house (or outside). With the cold, doing anything outside seems like a bad idea (says someone who walked 2 miles in 10 degree weather this morning).

      So it was YOU, eh? LOL Thanks. I just hope you’ll be as generous with cold air that has some moisture in it. I’m still having to water the garden. In November! Have a great weekend.

  17. CC – Cristina is Italian born, and though she has lived most of her life all over the U.S. she considers herself Italian...she just can't speak it very well! As with many other things, she is working on that (although it's a bit harder the older she gets). Still, there are just so many hours in a day. After leaving the lovely climes of Southern California she went to the heat, humidity, and insect-infested state of Alabama. She struggled for five years to be a "big girl" amidst the crickets-on-steroids, the snakes, scorpions, and other creepy crawlers of the day (and night!). It really is true what they say; "It's a jungle out there!" After another stint in Northern Virginia she is trying once again to find a new normal (as well as some bliss) in her new state, Florida. Cristina is happily married to a loving husband and has two grown children. Her medium-standard poodle love crossed the rainbow bridge in 2023 but he remains forever in her heart.
    Cristina Crawford says:

    Nothing exciting going on in our neck of the woods unless you think raking leaves rocks! The Poodle would love nothing better than to be out in the yard chasing squirrels but we still don’t have it fenced-in (and may not for some time). Have a fabulous Friday.
