While we may have missed posting a smile on Monday due to International Epilepsy Day, we realized we couldn’t let the week go by without finding something to share. This one tickled me and makes for a ‘subtle’ reminder for you to follow us on ‘Sniffer’ (otherwise known as Instagram). Please check out our visual observations about life around the Ranch and in our urban ‘Hood @tailsaroundtheranch.
Our ‘cruising toward Friday’ pace is picking up speed, how about yours? It won’t be long now. Stay warm, friends. The Polar Vortex is definitely alive and well these days and doing a number on us (it’s single digits with the windchill at publication time).
Live, love, bark! 🐾
LOL!! Really glad we have other ways of greeting each other. 🙂
thanks for the sniffer smile
and sending warm virtual tea your way during these cold winter days
❄️❄️❄️☕️
Many thanks! Warm tea will be most welcome. It’s -2 with a windchill of -11. Even the dogs are not interested in the Sniffer app today. 🤣
brrrrrr
that is rigid
and we had an ice storm here
– hope to get some photos tomorrow but for now – warm and dry inside
🥶🧊
Sending warm thoughts your way. Ice storms = no fun.
yes – and last night things flickered for an hour and we thought we’d lose power – glad we didn’t
and now just enjoying the pause winter brings – it can be so good for us – eh?
Glad you’re safe with power. We hope it stays that way while these storms and cold make their exit.
our neighbors had trees crush their fence on saturday! the ice made the trees stressed
and whew – otherwise that – all is still well
–
hope you all are warm and safe
🐾🐾😊
Glad you’re safe. I’ve storms are so destructive for trees. Continue to stay safe and warm.
thanks and sunday was a good day – little icy but no more downed trees in our area
Hurrah! That’s great news.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Sniffer doesn’t really exist… for humans even!
No doubt!
Thanks for the hilarious ‘toon ! We aren’t sure WHAT to make of our weird weather. They called for a huge snow event – we got rain……they call for rain and we get snow/sleet. In the middle of all that we get an almost 60 degree day. I think the weather is as confused as most of us are these days!
Hugs, Pam
My pleasure to provide a chuckle. Yeah, me thinks Mother Nature needs hormone treatment. 😄
That was TOO funny!! I needed a good belly laugh!
And baby its cold outside!! it was 0F here the other night…bundle up!
Hot chocolate, here we come!
Happy to provide a good belly laugh. It’s good for digestion and blood flow. Especially important when it’s freaking cold outside! Awk…my blood may probably be downright stationary when I walk the dogs this morning. 🥶
That is hilarious. The polar vortex seems to be bypassing us. Well, sorta. Compared to the prairies and Alberta, that is. Tomorrow will be a balmy 18F in the afternoon… 😉
Friday and Saturday we are gonna get about 5F Still very much my walking weather…
Have a great Thursday!
Isn’t it a hoot that we consider 18F balmy? 😂 stay warm and have good walk abouts.
Right? We ain’t no sissies.😉
Speak for yourself. LOL 😂
Hahaha! Okay then. 😁
😁
BOL!!!! That is a funny funny guys! 🤣
Oh, I hopes it warms up for you guys soon! It was 70, sunshine and blue skies and beautifuls! Butts, rain returns tomorrows. sigh. You knows I don’t likes wet furs! BOL!
Come on overs, and we can have a pawty!
(no peeps allowed….they could have the Covid cooties!)
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
Oh 70 sounds like paradise. It’ll remain chilly the rest of the week but next week is looking better. 🤞🏻 Norman and Elsa ask if they can bring limes for their visit! 🍈
What an inversion. It’s been way warmer up here! Sniffer!!!! Ha ha!
It’ll remain chilly down here at lower elevations through the weekend. Next week should be better ‘sniffer’ weather. 🤣
So cute. We had fantastic weather today – sunny and 65°F. I know it is going to get cold again, but really enjoyed today. I hope you get some warmer weather soon.
Next week for sure but cold will stay around through the weekend. 🥶 Glad you enjoyed the cartoon. It cracked me up. I could see Norman saying something like that. 😊
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Isn’t that cartoon just a hoot?
No problem. It’s 70 and sunny here, south of you.
Pretty doggone jealous, Kismet. Yup, pretty darn jealous indeed.
BOL! 🐾💜🐾
Dogs and their social media platforms. 🤣
BOL!!🐾💜🐾
mol….love it!! Great cartoon.
Tyebe
Thanks. We thought it was pretty funny too.
It’s cold here too, with a dusting of snow and more on the way. I love snow, but the bipeds are not as enthusiastic! 😀
Stay warm …. but cold beers can also help!
I’ve put the beer on ice and hitting the spirit segment of warmth. 😋 🥃
Boiling hot here in the afternoons….so it’s work in the morning and then take cover…
I vaguely remember those days and look forward for them. Stay cool, calm and collected. Ear scritches to the Thug Gang.
Many thanks from the thugs….all lying on the tiles in the coolest part of the house – but watch the change when the dinner bowls come out!
Of that I have no doubt. Enjoy the siesta until dinner time.
Where do we sign up? Sniffer sounds like something we would love!!!
Bitter cold here, but at least Lightning the Old Man is loving it.
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
I think our dog’s love it more than the…ahem…old parent! 🤣
Single digits…ugh. Gracie would just be pottying in the house at those temps!!
😆 There were some seriously crossed paws before we went out for the morning constitution.
How cute. I laughed out loud. It’s a small world isn’t it. Yes it is.
Have a fabulous day. Scritches to the pups. ♥
Thanks, Sandee. It made me laugh out loud too. Happy mid-week.
Lulu: “I gotta get me an account on that Sniffer thing! Whatever it is!”
There’s some good stuff there. And we try to post different photos from the blog. Sometimes even successfully. 😇
We are going to be below freezing or five days starting Thursday. Stay warm
Brr…I shivered just thinking about it! Too bad I enjoyed the 60ºF days last week a bit too much. Stay safe and warm.
I know what you mean. We were 74 on Sunday and Monday
Mother Nature is acting like a yo-yo!
Mew mew mew that iss a guud cartune Miss Monika!
**purrss** BellaDharma an ((huggiess)) LadyMew
Thanks, BellaDharma! We all need lots of smiles. Happy mid-week!
Stay warm in the next days!
Even here it’s supposed to be in the single digits [windchill] for a couple of nights.
We’re doing our best. Thank goodness for layers. I’m thinking it’ll be another 2-dog night.
Single digits??? YIKES.
It feels like summer here. Well, in comparison.
LOL, when it got to 20 yesterday afternoon I thought “my, it’s downright balmy compared to the morning temps!”
Get out the sun screen!
yes that polar vortex is even here… it came last night and ruined our dream of an early spring.
Oh no…sorry about that. The rest of the week will be cold but next week looks promising weather wise. Stay warm.
Us humans should be happy not to have to scroll through a sniffer feed to get our updates! 😅
Bwahahaha! I think that’d be known as A-W-K-W-A-R-D.
