Manly Monday with Tommy and Yuu!

Tommy: I must say that this past week has been a fabulous time for a manly woofie such as me. I have had lots of opportunities to engage in activities in the snow and #1 has been clicking away! Brace yourselves for lots of photos!

I love that feeling of sinking my paws into the snow!


And one of my favourite games is putting my head under the snow and then running!


at the end of which I look like this:


Romping with my boxer friends Adele and Eve is also fun!


And of course there is SNOW FRISBEE! The first thing to do was figure out that the frisbee had to be positioned differently so #1 could see it to pick it up!


and then all I have to do is fly!


The least fun is at the end of the walks when my feet are caked with ice crystals and I have to wait for #1 to get warm water to wash them off on the porch



Yuu-Chan: I have tried to tell #1 that it would be fun to go out into the cat run to experience snow beneath my toes, but she keeps saying no. I still have the sniffles and a sore eye, and she says I am not going anywhere until I am all better. So, what to do with one's time? I have enjoyed El Tigre's visits but he is now stormstayed at Uncle U's. I have been sitting on the radiator in the kitchen watching the birds (and yes, in reply to numerous questions, we do feed the birds! We have 4 grain feeders and 2 suet feeders out).


and, taking a leaf out of Mentor Misha's book, #1 and I were trying to decide which was my best side:

Right?


Left?


Chin?


Fancy a scritch anyone?

  1. Tommy! I think snow retrieving is totally fun because you get to stick your head in the snow and skid around and stuff. Great post.

  2. Gasp, you run with your head UNDER the snow, Tommy? Hahahahaha! That must be a very cool sight. We bet #1 can't help but laugh a bit.
    Sweet Yuu-Chan, we purr that those sniffles go away completely. As you know Chilli has a runny eye too and she hates to hear that you have the same problem. Do you love chin scritches as much as Chilli does?

  4. Hi Tommy - oh, we thought we were good at sticking our head in the snow but we BOW to the master!! We're suffering the same torment as you at the moment with the warm paw plunge at the end of every walk - sigh! Hope your sniffles go soon Yuu-Chan, we hope there's a bit of snow left for you to experience when you're well again. Schnauzer snuggles - JD and Max.

  5. Tommy you look wonderful out there!! What fun! We've had a lot of snow with rain so there is no fluff now just a hard crust. Hopefully yours stays super fluffy!

  6. Yuu, please don't try and make us pick a side. It is too hard!

    Tommy, do you get an icy brain freeze from sticking your head in the snow?

  14. Tommy you are so cute out in the snow! That first picture of you is completely adorable! And the idea of you running with your head in the snow is hilarious!

    And Yuu-Chan, #1 is right that you need to stay in when you are sick - resting on the radiator is a great idea! And we think all your sides are great!!

  15. Tommy we loved the pics of you having pawsome fun in the snow. What did you find under the snow? Wish we could have some of that. We have just been having rain.
    We think Yuu looks great at any angle.

  17. We are completely jealous of all your snow Tommy. I would love to try that trick of running with my head down in the snow. It looks like you had a great time!

    Your friends,

  18. I don't think there is such a thing as a bad size for a handsome Aby such as yourself, Yuu!

  19. Tom, you're a silly woofie. Keep going! We're enjoying the show.

    Yuu: Left. No doubt.

  20. Oh, that last shot makes Mom want to reach in and give you a good chin scritchie:) We love the snow too just like Tommy, but luckily we don't have to endure the pawsicles and the hot water bath.

  22. Tommy, that sure did look like fun. Even I admit it, and I can't stand the snow. As for the modeling cat...Yuu-chan, you're getting virtual chin scratchers.
    Twink!

    The fun you are having in the snow! But the cleaning up when you come in is no fun - I know only too well!!

    Hope you've all got plenty of rations in the house! We were watching how bad the snow is over with you on the news tonight here!

    Thankfully the thaw has started here - the rain came today for a little while and the schools are opening again tomorrow - NSLM not very happy, his Mom very happy!

    take care with all that snow!

  25. Tommy...just seeing you stick your head in the snow is making us all laugh! What a silly boy!

    Yuu-Chan, we hope you get better soon. We all had the sniffles and momma Ellie still has a bit of weepy eyes.

  30. Tommy you look like you're having a wonderful wonderful time in the snow! We bet when you run with your head in the snow you make all sorts of cute snorting noises...Meowmy would love to see a video! We sure hope Yuu-Chan gets over his cold soon...and that his buddy El Tigre gets to come over again soon to play.

  31. Oh Yuu-Chan, AAB wants to smooch you on the chin! It seems that Cat-chins are a weakness of hers.
