Puppy Pictures to Warm You on This Cold, Cold Day!

Whether the weather be fine,
Whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold,
Whether the weather be hot,
We'll weather the weather,
Whatever the whether,
Whether we like it or not ~ Unknown






It seems the Farmer's Almanac, way back in August, warned all who bothered to read it that lots of snow and really cold weather was coming. Here are some excerpts from that article:

"Precipitation-wise, the Southern Plains, Midwest, and Southeast will see above-normal conditions…With a combination of below-normal temperatures and above-normal precipitation the stage will be set for the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Central and Northern New England to receive lots of snow. Farther south, where the thermometer will be vacillating above or below the freezing mark, Southern New England, Southeast New York, New Jersey, and down through the Mid-Atlantic region will be seeing either copious rains and/or snows…Significant snowfalls are forecast for parts of every zone. Over the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states, we are “red-flagging” the first ten days of February for possible heavy winter weather... we wish to stress that this particular part of the winter season will be particularly volatile and especially turbulent…

And mid-March could bring a wave of storminess stretching almost from coast to coast, bringing a wide variety of precipitation types as well as strong and gusty winds." ~ Farmers Almanac, August 25, 2013.


Did you read that last part? Oh darn....just what we need!

So, here are some puppy pictures to warm your heart on this cold, cold day.

The girls, age 3 weeks

The puppies are 3 weeks old today. They are starting to play with each other, and occasionally I'll hear a little growl. They still sleep a lot, of course. They love to nurse and, although their legs are not too steady yet, they move as fast as they can toward Windy when they are hungry! (She is such a good mother!) I saw one wag its tail yesterday afternoon. Best of all, they are starting to respond to my voice and get excited when they hear me talking to them. I'm working on some call names for them.

If you are in one of the "cold" states, stay warm and safe. If you are in one of the "warm" states, count your blessings and sent warm thoughts to the rest of us!

Life is better when you have a Lhasa to love you (and to cuddle with on the cold nights!)
