Whether Weather

I certainly didn't expect to see this when I got up this morning. And I didn't. This is from when I lived in Virginia.

And this is what my Portland backyard looked like this morning. However, just like everything in Portland, the weather is weird. In my area, the temperature was well above freezing all night so we had rain. Now the temperature is falling below freezing and will continue to fall into the low 20s. But other parts of the city were below freezing and saw varying amounts of ice and snow.

And I would like to mention that based on two data points, areas where an individual completed their Sue Spargo circles received a wintry mix, while an area where the circles remain unfinished received none.

Yesterday, Buddy was reprimanded and assigned to the doghouse. Molly was on a tear chewing thread, shredding paper and knocking things off of tables. Buddy, meanwhile, was pretending to be an adorable kitten playing with his rollerball toy. We assumed this devious behavior was designed to make Molly look bad, so an immediate reprimand ensued.

Then this morning, Molly wasn't feeling well...probably due to extensive intestinal blockage from her carnage the day before. She was curled up on the bed when Buddy came and brought her a fur ball...dropping it right in front of her. Again...blatant dog behavior that assured us he deserves to be in the dog house.

This definitely looks like a great toy for an inquisitive cat, I haven't seen one of these roller ball toys before.

Sadie brought Smitty a bird this morning. She would have identified it for him, but she forgot her binoculars so that she could inspect it more closely from the interior of the house. Feathers ensued.
