Winter Snow and a Bear

Last night we had about four inches of snow fall here and the trees and their branches laden with snow looked magical with the light from the house shining on them. This morning, the snow is all melting but there is still enough around the garden to show you some photos taken about 30 minutes or so ago..

Here is a very special Bear who is showing us her remarkable recovery from her stroke a couple of weekends ago... She has been enjoying regular sessions of Reflexology, Reiki and gentle Massage as well as taking a special blend of minerals and vitamins prescribed by her vet.



Typical Labrador pose, sniffing the ground as she is walking along. Wonder if there's anything to eat around here?


What? Did you say something to me....? She's getting a little deaf although I do wonder if it is selective deafness as she always seems to know when food is ready or when it's time for a walk. Surprise, surprise...



Everynow and then, she lurches as the 'boat moves' and so you can see here that the effects of the stroke are still lingering. She has improved remarkably and I am so happy about it. The best thing is that she is happy once again!



But of course, it's tiring being a Super Model...


When do I get my reward for this modelling?

Thanks once again to everyone for all your kind, caring posts and emails.

  1. What a wonderful dog!! Give Bear a hug and a pat on the head for us out here in Iowa!!

    My guess is that your days of seeing snow are coming to an end soon! We will get snow out here until the first of April but it becomes more and more wet the closer we get to Easter.

    Take care and I am so glad to see Bear is doing so good!

  3. Bear has been patted, hugged and I've told her about her good friends in Iowa too. I'm sure that she would send her thanks to you and to Bailey.

    Yes, I would doubt we will get much more snow (if any)- it's a long time for you though to still be having snow until April 1st. Ugh!

    Warm wishes to you and to Bailey

  9. Bear is really looking well - I hope the recovery continues at this pace.
    I loved your 'fourth of the fourth' - thought it looked like a watercolour from Carl Larsson. So different from the dark landing, which I also thought was beautiful. If there were room for a chair it would be a cozy place to sit and read, with a glass of whiskey at hand.
