After dark, Merida always goes outside like she’s after a bear. Of course, there’s nothing out there so Dharma stays calm. But let a bird get in her yard? Big Brown bristles up, puffs out her chest, and takes care of business.

She’ll then look to me for affirmation and I’m supposed to praise her for being such a marvelous protector. And I do. ❤️

C’mon snow! You’re late!
We’re supposed to have some snow after 11:00 PM tonight and I sure hope we’re on the high side of the prediction at 3″. I worry about my family driving on slick roads to work, of course, but that doesn’t stop me from loving to look out the windows at it.
