Although I haven't posted for a long time, I'm alive and finally well again. I had a terrible head cold and a minor family emergency that kept me away from the keyboard, but I'm back with a spring in my step! But that's also because the sun is shining.
The weather has been quite cold, and we've had a lot of rain. Central NL had 30 cm of snow last Wednesday; and we're not out of the woods weather-wise yet! That's what happens when you're this far north and surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. It had been 2 weeks since I'd last walked in the sunshine, and my body spoke loud and clear: my mood changed; my sleep patterns went off-course again; and I had more aches.
Jack is 5 years old; he loves to walk and will happily move to the side and trot ahead of you. Olive is not quite a year old, so she was zig zagging in front of our legs (as she feels the need to physically touch her brother Jack from time to time), stopping to look up at us with love and gratitude, and bounding at the rustle of every bush. She also needs to explore every nook and cranny and is positively beside herself when she meets a new friend. The 3 km return trip had the puppies panting, tired and very happy at the end. Great! Now we can go sit outside with delicious foamy lattes while the puppies happily cuddle at our feet, right?
We brought our drinks to the table and took the dogs out of the car; but settle, they did not! Jack was determined to go inside the cafe. (He's a glutton for attention!) And Olive was overwhelmed with all the traffic noise, chattering people walking by and skateboarders. She bolted out of Libby's arms AND her harness and lead into the street! Thank goodness there was nothing coming and we were able to get her back to safety. Poor little mite was afraid.
When I took the dirty cups back inside, I indulged Jack and took him with me where he was met with lots of petting and chucks on the head. He was a happy dachshund! And I was an equally happy woman!

Glad you got to get out on a sunny day. I know just how much difference that can make. Suddenly it's become summer here making for a very short Spring. It's become hot an humid. I can not believe you have that S... word still in your forecast. Hopefully they will be wrong ! It's Memorial Day for us here in the US and it's a great day to be outdoors.
the pups sound delightful. glad you got to spend time with them.
Snow? Oh no! You have had it rugged. Hope they are completely wrong!
Never mind, it is always sunny where you are! Lovely doggies. x
Yes, your May snowstorm made the national news! We all felt bad for you but relieved it wasn't us, because it could just as easily have been. That's Canada!
