Back to normal....


FYI -- I REALLY
like the red toy I got from
Annie and Oakley for my birthday!

Things are back to normal....
what a week this has been!

Mr. Ripley -- that's what I 
call him now that he is a 
BIG boy.... -- is healing
very well.  He plays but gets
tired and just stops and sleeps....


I checked on 
Willy the Weather Stick and
he told me the weather was
going change as we have
had 45 - 50 degree weather
lately -- NOT natural for Minnesota!

When he points up -- it's nice weather
When he points down -- not so nice


AND -- he was RIGHT!

Thanks Willy!
I really needed some snow!



Later -- Remington --
I hope we get LOTS of snow!
-- out!

Hi Y'all,

Remington, that looks like a fun toy to carry around.

Your weather has been the same as ours here in the southeastern mountains. Your weather stick is working for us too. It's 45 degrees this morning and supposed to drop sharply this evening and the rain turn to snow.

Y'all come by now,

We have been having disgustingly warm weather here too! They are saying maybe snow this weekend, and me and Teka are getting excited.

Our terrier vibes to MR Ripley.

Watch out what you wish for!!! You may get more than you want!

Good news for Mr. Ripley! Not a baby anymore!

Dar said...

So happy you had a great birthday, Rem and fun toys, too.
Now, I agree, unusual weather here in WI too and welcoming a bit more snow. We only got a couple inches last night. That's enough to play some football or go sliding.

Do you want cold air with that snow? We had some yesterday, and it didn't feel so great. In Colorado we call the cold weather "Stock Show" time. But, it seems our really cold weather was in November. Enjoy your play time in the snow.♥♫

HoundDogMom said...

We have been enjoying our extra warm weather as well. We are getting some snow flurries today. You look very handsome in the snow. Makes for fabulous photo shoots. Sniffs, The HoundDogs

Mom says we were all acting wild and crazy yesterday like we just KNEW there was snow coming. Well, it came and then it went, all very quickly. We got less than a half inch of the white stuff. And it left us with some bitter temps. But it is nice to have even just that tiny bit of white heaven.

Glad to hear all is well at Remington's place.

OMG! You got snow. Yay! Our rain is supposed to turn to snow overnight tonight. We're going to keep our fingers and paws crossed! I love the picture of your little bro Mr. Ripley. It's sooo cute! Glad to hear he's doing fine. Have fun in your snow!

Frankie Furter and Ernie said...

43 here this morning... and a couple of inches of snow is expected tonight and tomorrow... YOU and Khyra could keep it all, as far as I am concerned.

Scooter said...

My Mind's Eye said...

MOL Rem...I bet you wish you hadn't ship all you snow away last winter!!
We are glad Mr. Ripley is doing well.
Please tell him that Queen Madi, Diva Island Princess Cat says hello
LET ME JUST SAY MOM HAS HAD A BEAR OF A TIME WITH OUR BLOG TODAY. She got lots of message about Blogger not being supported by our browser told us to change to Google Chrome which we did and now we have the upgraded blogger interface which is 200% different from what we were used to. After all of that she finally got on our blog and can read comments. The only problem is she isn't sure how she got here. MOL. At one point she thought this would be the end of blogging. Mom is not at all technical.
Hugs Madi

We hope you get more snow in the days to come, Remi!

Angel Junior, Orion and Sammy said...

Glad all is returning to normal for you! Taht weather stick sure is weird but accurate!

The Army of Four said...

Our weather down here turned lots more normal, too. For some reason, Mom and Dad liked the 50-60 degree stuff better than the single digits with snow. Crazy, isn't it?
Your toy looks really fun - and of course I LOVE your football!
Luv,
Dave
PS: Mr. Ripley reminds me of Zim. Ha woo.

I'll bet you've been missing your snow, Remington! It has been freakishly warm here in northern CA, too.. warm 60's. Buster has been sleeping outside at night b/c it's cooler, and he just went to swim in a pond in our neighborhood with his Dad. :o) Yes, he finally decided to SWIM! He's been a "wader" until now. I was beginning to wonder if he was missing his newfie-swimmer gene, but turns out he was just waiting until he was ready. lol Oh, and if you want to get your mom to show you, come to my blog and watch a little video of Buster's new trick.

I have never heard of such a wild weather stick. Phil said it reminds him a bit of a water witching stick. Wherever did you find such a thing?

Oh snow! You're so lucky

Ellen Whyte said...

You've got such thick fur that we bet snow doesn't bother you much but poor Mr Ripley will have frosty toes! We also have to say we love your tiny teeth in that smiling pic, Remington.

SNOW! How wonderful. We hope you get lots to make up for how long you have had to wait for the fluffy white joy.

Lorenza said...

I am sure Mr. Ripley will be fully recovered soon!
Aaaand... snow??

Glad to hear Mr. Ripley is on the mend. Enjoy the restful moments Rem, he will be back in action very soon.

Glad to see you've got some snow we are hoping for some flurries this weekend.

bichonpawz said...

Remington! You sure have a great smile in that first picture!! We are very glad that Ripley is doing much better!!! Glad you are finally getting some snow to play football in!! Us too!! It's been such a weird winter...it was like 50 yesterday!!! Very unheard of!!
