The things I missed while I was away from home are too numerous to count.
Events like the birth of our fourth grandchild, who also happens to be our first granddaughter. (But I have photos!)
Dates like Ducky’s sixth birthday; like Valentine’s Day. And dates like Shadow’s half birthday on what has always been Callie’s full birthday.
And big things like watching Shadow go down (and back up) the steps to the office/laundry room (and back door) unassisted.
And little things like watching Ducky stalk the squirrels, run the fence lines with the neighbors’ dogs, and chase the birds off the fence posts.
And replenishing things like Hubby’s hugs and good night kisses, Ducky’s puppy kisses, and Shadow’s “hugs” against my thighs.
In between re-organizing things the way I want them, cleaning up a mess created by inclement weather, and getting back into somewhat of a routine, I’m trying to spend less time on my devices and more time with my family. So forgive me for being so behind in reading your blog posts.

You take all the time you need to catch up on all you’ve missed at home! I couldn’t get the video to play but I’ll try again later (I think it’s just my internet being slow).

Ducky is barely moving in the video so it might be that, too.

Love Ducky’s intense focus! Enjoy life’s gifts: family, friends, new babies, and great slobbery kisses from a precious fur-kid.

I need to figure out a way to channel that focus from squirrels to me. 😉

Good luck. I’ve not been successful with Elsa. She even walked into a tree last week she was so focused on the squirrel across the street. 🙄

I shouldn’t laugh, but I can’t help it. The image of Elsa walking into a tree reminds me of my days at Girl Scout camp on Long Island. I did the exact same thing – more than once – and earned myself a nickname I won’t repeat here.

The sheepdogs did that on more than one occasion but Elsa has heretofore avoided it in the past. Guess I can’t rely on her peripheral vision when she’s out ‘hunting.’ And no worries, I laughed too. She looked at me like I was some kind of evil demon. 🙃
