yesterday was a beautiful day and all the snow had melted off, even in the shady spots. it was a bit cool, but just sweatshirt with a light coat at the
most. just like bob likes
, not too hot and not too cold. and it gave me a good chance to go out and clean up all the yards and fill waters and food
bins.
of course the minute i came out so did bob to keep an eye on me.
as he was looking a bit thin i gave him a dog cookie to keep him busy while i worked, and i grabbed my camera for a chance to get a few updated pictures.
here he is eating his cookie on his food shelf. i didn't realize it until i saw these pictures that he looks like a basketball with a ping pong ball for a head;
now bob always puts on weight for the winter, but this isn't my bob
, it must just be the way he is sitting
, or it could be the fact that once
he was done with the cookie he immediatly looked for more;
however this picture shows that he's not quite so fat, altho like i said he gains A LOT in the winter but is a skinny lil thing in the summer (just like
saralee, they put on weight to keep warm in the winter).
i was very pleased that for 10 1/2 years old he's still lookin pretty good



---when i thought about earl living 15 years and that i would be 68 years old when
he might pass, that does make one think of the commitment one has to make when taking on a pet.
Simeon gets up & down a little slower, doesn't want to jump the gates
like the youngsters, & sleeps alot, but he's till purrin'!
