Winter Hibernation

The full effects of Winter Hibernation has hit the Yesteryear Acres 

4-legged crew today.....

Let's just play ball in the house today

It looks like a good day for an afternoon Hallmark movie

or a long winter's nap 

Everyone deserves a cat nap  

or Doodle nap 

Go ahead and take your walk without me 

We can try again tomorrow

Cool Pictures

The Doggies were surprised by the quick transformation of our pond.  In a few days it went to a fun place to swim to a fun place to ice skate!

We didn't know we could walk on water! 

The ice is so clear you can see almost to the bottom!

The smoothest surface we have had in years

Do you like our cool pictures?

That was a good one Maverick!

Ready for an ICE time? 

READY!

National Hug Day

I didn't even know there was a holiday called "National Hug Day" but evidently it is today! It started in 1986 as hugging your loved ones just makes the day a better day so why not make it a National Holiday?

We don't need a holiday to remind us to hug our furry best buddies because every day at Yesteryear Acres is hug your best friend day!

Ernie, did you know it is National Hug Day? 

SLURP! Is it National Kiss day too?

I like hugs!!!!

Hug your best buddy! 

All day long!

I Think I Need A Hat

Maple's Double Doodle Puppies were quite surprised with the sudden change in temperatures.  They didn't know it could be that cold outside!

Um excuse me...... 

What is this white stuff? 

You still want us to play? 

Okay!

 

But first.... I think I need a hat 

OH! This one fits perfectly! 

Hey look - you have a little white flake on your head

Mmmm That is delicious! 

Now this is how you keep your paws warm!

Time to explore 

This snow stuff is fun 

And tasty!!!

I am glad we got to come outside to play 

I hope we get to do it again tomorrow 

Happy Monday!

Never too cold for walking

This afternoon I tried to use the "it is too cold to go outside for a walk" excuse.  My son quickly let me know that it is never too cold to go outside.  He also reminded me I didn't have my steps in for the day.  I then tried to say that Hickory would be too cold to go out.  Guess I was wrong.

I am appropriately attired for the winter hike 

Sharing a stick is even more fun in my snazzy new jacket! 

Come on buddy.  Let's lead the way 

Guess my son was right 

But maybe I was right too!!!!

Thank goodness for warm radiators and soft beds!

Doodle Doggies Love Mail

Package delivery is a normal daily occurrence here. The Doodle Doggies are very good at letting us know when we get a delivery.  I think their excellence in notifying us may be due to the fact that 90% of the time - the packages are for them!  Delivery???? YES PLEASE! 

Today's delivery.....Dehydrated Chicken Breast

Oh boy! And a treat dispenser!!!! 

I can taste the deliciousness from here 

Fill them up please  

One for me and one for you 

Or are they both for me!?!! 

Gosh - I love the mail!

Lumber Fish

Mr. Yesteryear Acres really wanted to go fishing today. He has been wanting to go fishing for weeks but our schedule has been very busy and there is just no time to play.  Today's schedule had "chop wood" at the top of the list. We will all freeze without the wood so out to the woodpile Mr. Yesteryear Acres went.....

Well look at that.....

Mr. Yesteryear Acres caught a big one!!!! 

Lumber Fish!!!!! 

Now that's a whopper! 

Austin only caught a guppy 

Better luck next time Austin!
