DO NOT COME HOME!

Diesel here speaking for all "the boys."  Our advice for you is DO NOT COME HOME!  That’s right. Auntie Nancy told us that it is like summer in Costa Rica and that you are wearing shorts and swimming suits. No one is wearing shorts here!  Here it is COLD and only Diesel has a coat to wear. The rest of us just have to keep moving to stay warm.  Well, except Charlie since he carries his warm fur coat with him everywhere he goes. Charlie doesn’t move fast like the rest of us.  He is doing well though.  He runs up the stairs lickety-split and jumps up on Auntie’s lap on the couch hardly any effort at all. 

It snowed again last night and now is up to even the big dog’s bellies!  Great fun, plus Auntie thinks that we need a "bit of fat" in our diet when it’s this cold, so we all got a piece of bacon again this morning.  I think I like it to be cold.  HA!

The ducks are doing well. Auntie says she hopes it was all right that she opened a new bale of straw for them.  She fluffed both their night bed and the shed outside with a bit more straw. She thought it might help keep them warm. Personally, I don’t think they mind it being cold, but they don’t get bacon.  HA!

Uncle Norm and Auntie Nancy have spent lots of time with us because they got their car struck down the driveway and Uncle Norm doesn’t want to drive Art’s truck even though he told him to go ahead.  They are reading a lot of giving us lots of snuggles and petting.  Yesterday Charlie and I got showers.  Indy is supposed to get his this afternoon when he gets tired of playing outside.   Auntie Nancy says that Oakley probably won’t get a shower because she doesn’t think he’ll stay inside long enough to dry out and she says, "Baby it’s cold outside!"

We all miss you, but don’t you worry about us.  We are having our very own "vacation."  I mean – bacon - extra treats - new people snuggles, - and a nice warm fire going!  What’s not to love  here?

Your loving doggie (and probably your favorite)
