Winter Visitors To Our Yard

It may not be winter according to the calendar Big Lady keeps on the wall, but according to the back yard, it is winter. We had a dusting of snow on Friday after everyone stuffed themselves with Turkey on Thanksgiving. It's been cold. Last night it rained and it was miserable.

Today the weather cleared this afternoon, and look who came to visit us! This must mean a) he likes the food, or b) he saw our friends the mice in the backyard among the fallen leaves. It was a good thing that I was inside the house snug and warm when Big Lady saw him on the fence and took photos from inside. Otherwise I would have 'woofed at him and told him this is our yard :_)

The Sun Goes Down Early Now

The sun goes down early now, and over a month has passed. I told Patrick it was his turn to do the blog, but he sighed and settled into the blue couch, so I guess it's up to me.

Big Lady was gone two days this week, well, for lunch at least. It made for very long days. We almost didn't see the sun outside at all except when she came home. She did bring home this great picture of a sunset which she took outside Pleasanton on her way home Saturday night.

Ah, well. It gets dark quickly now. Big Lady worked out in the yard this morning, but now when she comes home from work it is so dark you can't see me in the yard. Patrick does have a white tip on his tail and is often spotted from a distance, but I am Stealth. Did I tell you they call me that sometimes?

So, it is good to have Big Lady home again and we hope Big Guy will be home this weekend. In the meanwhile, Patrick and I will settle in on the sofa and see what's on the telly.
