Moose and Squirrel

I introduced you to Moose and Squirrel as puppies a few days ago. They are now two years old and NF's health made it necessary for them to find new homes. Lucky for them a niece jumped at the chance to take them both. I am thrilled they get to stay together and am a little envious that they are moving to Florida. No more snow for them! Thanks to BC for grooming them yesterday so they will be pretty for their first airplane ride and new adventure. And thanks to Mom for her photo assistance. I couldn't resist taking photos of them on the rocks and in front of the spring flowers. It is a nice change to get some photos without snow. (You can still see it on the mountains but not in the yard). Squirrel on the run. Moose the model.

He was a natural in front of the camera and was definitely ready for his close-up.

Well, goodbye and good luck to them both. I wish them well and NF too. Cancer sucks :(

NF, Moose and Squirrel

The answer to last week's post is Not Yet! Spring is taking it's time this year but you wouldn't know it by the behavior of the ducks and geese in the park. They are totally in the mood for spring and makes the park an X-rated theater with plenty of explaining to do by the parents that innocently bring their kids there to play. All I can say is mallards need a few lessons in love.
The weather is too bad to pull out the camera so I decided to post an oldie but goodie. This was taken a couple of years ago when a dear friend's dog had puppies. The bigger puppy is named Moose because he was a "pig" and poor Squirrel wasn't getting enough to eat. NF ended up bottle feeding him day and night until he was strong enough to eat on his own. After all that love and attention she couldn't let either one of them be adopted and added them to her family.
Now the table has turned. It is NF that is fighting for her life. The same lady that hiked to the top of Secret Lake with us just last summer. I have no doubt that if the fight can be won she will win it.....in her own words she is a, "tough old blister". Please send healing thoughts her way.
