I officially have the mid winter blues. It probably wouldn’t be too bad if my foot wasn’t still bothering me and I could get out of the house more often, however; it has been so damn cold in the New York that I am going to have to buy Miss Allie some boots to get her through the rest of the winter. She loves to play outside but I think sometimes it really bothers her feet.

There is nothing exciting going on this year either, this year is about getting work done around the farm and getting bills paid so that we can take a vacation to France next year to visit some of Gary’s family. We are so excited about going. I’m excited about just getting our passports.

Miss Allie is such a bright light in my life. She has is off to the vet next week to be spade (which I am having mixed feelings about. I have never been able to have children, and I would love her to. That’s probably kind of weird) and have a couple dew claws removed and I am already sad that she is going to be gone for a couple of days. I thought I would share some of the things that we love about her for the fun of it.

Here goes…

• The way she moans in my ear as she is falling asleep
• The way she cuddles on your lap (even though she is getting way to big to)
• The fact that everytime she gets a drink of water I have to refill the water dish because the pump starts running
• The way she has to kiss you for five minutes when you get home, it just feels good to have some one be so happy to see you
• The way her tail starts hitting me at 3 in the morning because she is so excited because she hears her daddy coming home
• The fact that she has her own little bag of honey nut cheerios at grandma’s
• She never smells like a dog
• Her droopy lips and wrinkles
• The way her butt wiggles when she wags her tail
• She can cover an acre of land and glide over the ditch within 3 seconds and then right before she gets to you, she turns sideways and body slams you, and then heads back
• The way she plays with the cats
• and snuggles with Simba

• When she shares her bone with you
• Or makes you hold her rawhide so she can chew it
• When I find cleaned out catfood cans all over the house, especially in our bed
• While I’m picking up all her toys at night and putting them back in her toy box she is taking them back out
• Her DRAMATIC Yawns

I could go on and on but I won’t bore you but my one final thing I love about Miss Allie Mae is

• The way she has made herself daddy’s little girl
