Misty's Gotcha Day

 

Today (well, Wednesday) is our third anniversary of bringing Misty home.  This is like the last of three celebrations she gets- a Happy Boofus Day one warm spring day; he birthday in the Summer; and today (well, Wednesday).  First, we took a hearty walk...

And much nicer, 31F today...

Neighbor doggies Fifi (I think) and her brother (IDK the name...or gender, actually) wish Misty a Happy Gotcha day...

Outside of birds, this was our only critter sighting

I was letting her choose the path, so first we go to the woods.  Here, she's just come off of a disc golf path we never take, followed by a little off-roading, and she's totally confused.

Back on track, she can see the Ravine Trail better than me with all these leaves...

Mastodon Santa

There was quite the gathering at south bridge.  Besides the cardinals, there was a robin, a blue jay, and a contingent of the Sparrow Mafia

We get to the river, she wants to go over the bridge- I said No. So she went under the bridge...

...and down a ways, looking for the unfrozen water that just wasn't there.  Sorry, baby!

Again, she wants to cross the bridge.  Again, I say no. She then "mope-walks" all the way to the Swamp...

She has me go into the rough, lumpy grounds on the other side of the road.  At first I expected varmintage, but she was actually still looking for unfrozen water.  Thankfully, she found none.

Then, when we got home (and warmed up), we had the rest of her celebration.  First, her cupcakes, which we all shared...

 

                 

 

                          

                                                                            Yummm! 

...then a tray of soft doggie treat...

 

                           

                                                                        

And finally, a new baby to tear up...

(Note:  Laurie put the video of this on FB, but FB won't let you post up videos on my blog.  HOWever, I am a master of pulling stills...)

     

        

        

         

A good time was had by all!
