Janet's Grumpy, But We Doggies Are In Hog Heaven!

We had another large dump of snow..it snowed almost all night Monday and all day Tuesday.  What a blast for doggies and school age children!  They closed all the schools on Tuesday - this is Victoria, after all.  This is our sixth day of snow on the ground.

So; bonus!  We went from our house down to Willows Beach without a leash.  There weren't any cars out.  It was alot of fun.

Here is Rockers down at the beach.  It's not very often you see snow so close to the water line.

Maybe this is why Janet is grumpy:

It looks pretty, but she says the party is over.  Remember what we told you about their incredibly low standards for heat in the house?  We heard Janet complain to Phil that:  1 - the claw foot bath tub is freezing cold.  When filled with hot water, the top edges are still cold.  2 - when she has a bath, her feet are near the window and there is a cold breeze from the window above her feet.  A candle would likely blow out!  3 - the kitchen counter top is so cold it could double for a frig!

However, after a long cold day, what could be better than a nice big pot of Japanese Curry with boneless short ribs?

This is one of the two pretty cast iron Staub pots Janet has.  She received them both as gifts.  The other one is a burgundy colour and the handle on the lid is a rooster.

We, of course, just had dog food, again!  Here is Rockers acting all strange and clingy last night.  Janet was worried because he never hangs around in the kitchen after dinner.

Mike calls him "Big Baby", but I don't think that's very nice.  He's just my big brother.  Also, what if Meg gets word of this "Big Baby" business?  He will never have a chance at the Ring Pup gig he is so hoping for.
