Turkey Tricks

Well how was it for you?

Personally, I had a wonderful time and I hope you did too. 

I know it's just a short pit stop on it's way to Hogmanay, but I thought I'd nip in here for a quick natter.

Have you had snow?

We've yet to see snow, even though my daughter has been thoroughly scruitinizing all of the weather apps and skies trying to find some... but so far we've only had minus temperatures, frosticles and lots of ice, for the last week or so. 

One thing's for sure... Mufftypup is not impressed with frozen grass!

At the moment for her toilet break she nips out and back into the house in record time... like a whippet. 
There's no need to stop to sniff when there's a comfy spot next to the fire waiting. 

Besides it's a little tricky walking on the ice... imagine the scene from Bambi when he goes out onto the ice with Thumper and you get the idea. Not with the long limbs of course... more Stumper than Thumper! 

Thinking about it Mufftypup has had quite a time of it really... 

For a start it was agonizing waiting for Santa to call.

And don't get her started on all of the culinary delights that just didn't come her way...

even when she used her most cutest "oh woe is me" look with those pleading eyes.

There's also the mystery of the dodgy doorbell.

She's been disturbed from her chicken-filled dreams, so many times when the doorbell has rang. No one escapes her welcome no matter how snoozey she's is... she's a martyr to the cause! 

But so many times, when she's ready to receive... sitting pretty staring at the door handle no-one enters, no matter how long she sits there patiently waiting. It's a complete mystery to her.

I don't quite know how to explain to her that it's a certain Christmas Carole that has a similar chime to our door bell... 

But I'm thinking the exercise is good for her (right?) especially as she's not walking for as long these days and she's looking a wee bitee chunky (for her)...

Or maybe it's just her winter fluffyness?

Just in case she is putting on a little excess (hey aren't we all?) we've decided for her to have a daily workout. My daughter really makes her work for the turkey treats! 

See what you think... after this routine she then does a few yoga stretches on the mat in front of the fire, before seriously meditating for a few hours...

So that'll just leave me to wish you all good luck and I hope you have healthy and happy New Year.

 Thank you so much for being a part of my year... it's been great. 

But I feel 2015 will be the best one yet!
