Strong is beautiful !!

Doncha jess wish we could go outside and pick a large bunch of  of flowers??  One day--and soon, I hope!  Spring must be just round the corner---- To-day I am going to pick up some bird seed at the pet store-- Everyday I see more birds at our feeder--

Lopez has been out--with me-We "hoofed " it up the road-There is a light dusting of snow, and it is cold!--I have to admire Lopez, pitter patting over the ice and  stones in his little bare feet, beside me, up the road--These wee Chihuahuas are a different type of dog--  Last night, when I was ready to go upstairs to bed, he began to growl at me--I knew he did not wish to come up with me, and he wanted to stay---in his crate in the living room -so, I closed the door to his crate, and went upstairs to bed --You see, he has a crate in the living room, AND , a crate upstairs beside my bed.

It did feel strange to leave him in the living room crate--  but----  in about 10-to 15 minutes-- I heard him howling --so, down I went, and this time,  no growling--He was happy to see me--and, I picked him up, carried him upstairs , and he crawled into the crate beside my bed and lay down and went to sleep--He seems to have a mind of his own, and is determined to do things on his own time--- Shepherds are not like this at all--Lopez is a whole different "kettle of fish"---kinda a bit like "Himself"---

It is HAIR DAY--and because to-morrow is a holiday I do have a few errands to do in town--

Do you have big plans for this Easter weekend?---and-if so-- is it a trip to some exotic place?--I hope to just survive the weekend-- Funny how your life changes when one is "over the hill", as Dad use to say--When I say, "survive " the weekend, I mean, get to read my book, go for groceries, and just be happy---hopefully not have to push snow around--be kind to  people I meet---'specially little older Ladies,--and to respect Lopez who  has his own mind---and to Himself, who is a bit that way also--

-AND--come to think of it, hopefully I can keep on walking past the chocolate rabbits in the stores--and--the ice cream, which is not good for my heart--

                                                    I hope to make to-day a priority day--

                                            Forgive people , and pets, who try to live life  in a different way-------hard eh?--Lots to think about---but---it is a whole new day-----AND----- "WE ", because we are strong, are  alive and,  a part of TO_DAY___
