The sun is shining brightly here but it is still cold. Mom is hoping for Spring outside soon. But for today we want to share a little bit of inside Spring.
Mom's orchids that she totally ignores and yet they flower beautifully.
And a second blossoming of the pretty Christmas cactus.
Little Ciara received a package in the mail yesterday, her first present. And it came from our pals in snowy Minnesota, Stella and her mom Jo.
Mom helped open the package for a very curious Ciara.
Checking out the smells - we think Stella sent her a message.
If you bigify the photo, you can see the nice message they sent.
Testing it out. Isn't just so pretty? Bright pink with hearts and flowers and made from the softest fleece.
Giving it the taste test next.
It's MINE - don't you try to take it away.
Now where should I put it?
What do you think?
Mom says I don't need a blankie on top of me, that I already have a very thick coat.
OK, I think I'll take a nap. Thanks to Stella and Jo for the lovely pressies.
And just so you don't forget us, here are some random photos of us boys outside today.
What are they plotting?
TD, I say let's go for it.
It worked, we got her to STOP!!! (At least for a while)
And now take a quick look at what we have to put up with here.
Have a great weekend.
Woos, Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara

The sweetest thank you Ever!
ReplyDeleteI see that TD doesn't believe in letting his baby sister win a Tug with him. One time wouldn't hurt!
Happy Weekend to you guys, too,
Jo and Stella
Honestly, I'm cramped for time, but your videos, I could watch for hours. What a spill, Thunder! BOL since you're okay. And don't EVER say we will forget you. Forever furiend don't do that.

Oh, what a gorgeous blanket for a gorgeous puppy!! :-)
ReplyDeleteHmm...I wish we lived closer so your human could give my human some lessons on plant keeping - your plants are all so beautiful and healthy and - well, ALIVE! :-) Hsin-Yi has "black fingers" and no matter what she does, she always manages to kill every plant we get...including the plastic ones! Hee! Hee!
Slobbers,

We could never forget you handsome boys.
ReplyDeleteCiara, Fenris has a crush on you.

ReplyDeleteYou've got a baby sister and we didnt know whaa whaaa. She is gorgeous.
Hi little Ciara, welcome to blogland.
Noah Willow Tess Lucy
What a lovely gift! And we're having a little bit of indoor spring, too. One of mom's flowers that she almost killed (common) is actually coming back to life with plenty of new shoots (unusual!). Looks like plant physiology last fall taught her a thing or two. One can hope.
ReplyDeleteBajas
oh ciara is totally going to be a pawfect model for sure
ReplyDeleteand of course we would never forget you handshum boys ever in eternity
we wuv you all

Hello Thunder, Phantom and Ciara,
ReplyDeleteCiara is surely providing lots of exercise for TD and Phantom. We enjoyed watching your videos. We have subscribed already.
The blankie is also we pretty and Ciara likes it.
Enjoy your weekend, friends. Worry not, we may not been able to exchange comments as often but we have been good friends and there's no forgetting that, right?
-Fudgie, Princess & the Piappies
Me again. Mommy is so jelly of your flowers. Like Frankie Furter says, just saying. She is so ready for Spring!!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
{{{huggies}}},,,Mona
Uh, TD, we do believe you are falling for Ciara!
ReplyDeleteWhoa I was worried that TD and P were not gonna get any blog time. That ciara is a show stealer. SO super cute with that new blankie. Seems she's brought out the puppie in the household.. even with mom.
ReplyDeletenorwood
Wow!! Your orchids are BEAUTIFUL

Very cute shots today
love the pink blanket
just for girls only ....... LOL
Have a wonderful weekend :-)
Hugs Kareltje =^.^=
It's funny how a little ball of fur livens up a pack, isn't it? It looks like you both like Clara, and are so gentle with her. It's a good idea- she'll be as big as you someday!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the fleece blanket that Stella sent to Clara. What a sweet idea!
Nice blankie Clara,
ReplyDeleteYou sure are giving those two a run for their keebles! Wear them out good!
Riley and Star.
Awww, what a sweet blanie pressie!! Those pictures are adorable!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of you boys too!
Have a pawsome weekend!
Woofs and Kisses!
Oh mom loves your house flowers. Specially the yellow one! Ciarra got a purdy nice pressie. It's my fav color and looks real soft. I would send you boys my snow if I could but I've promised it to Khyra. There might be time for some more yet cause Spring is still 20 days away.
ReplyDeleteWaggles,
Bijou
What a beautiful pink heart blankie!
ReplyDeleteWe loved your video! Mitch would love to play with you, Ciara!

The orchids are lovely! Mom has an orchid that looks pathetic!
ReplyDeleteWe likes your blankie! So cute you are Ciara!
Wow I haven't been around the blogs much lately and missed your new arrival! She's a real cutie pie and will surely keep you boys in line. My humans say the young ones keep us older ones more active, so have fun with her!

Pretty orchid - our xmas cactus is also flowering in time for Easter we hope!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful present from Stella and Jo.
That really was the perfect blankie for the little girl in the family.
We loved it. We also liked the pics and of course the video.
Thunder and Phantom are just going to be the best big brothers that any girl could have.
If these pics get any cuter we are definetely coming over for a puppynap!

Oh, you know what, we want a baby sister now! FH tells us that in a few years we're probably going to have one of our pals living with us - she's 3 and a cairn terrier. She currently lives with someone who's nearly 90 and very active but our humans have agreed to give her a furever home if she needs it in the future, so basically we can't have a baby sister as the humans say that 4 dogs would be too much for them! But - oooh - looking at your blog recently and watching the videos makes us want to have a puppy around the house to play with!
ReplyDeleteCiara's blanket is so pretty - what a lucky girl she is to get such a lovely pressie. Isn't the blogosphere great?!
Schnauzer snuggles - JD and Max.
We have wonderful smiles in our heart everytime we come here,
ReplyDeleteThank you for putting a feeling of love in our heart- when sometimes the world is so sad.
I love Ciera and her blanky and her brothers too, and I think you are the bestest mama.
love
tweedles
What a beautiful blankie!!! That was so nice of Stella and Jo! I think the pink is perfect for you! Pink is also MY color!
ReplyDeleteYou are one tough little girl Ciara! You are definitely going to rule those boys!
Khady Lynn
You are in puppy raising mode, missed blog visits are totally understandable. Stella and her mom outdid themselves - the cute factor is 11!
ReplyDeleteThose are some tasty-looking, I mean, beeyooteeful flowers. Ciara is making Mom squee like crazy. That's a super comfy blankie. It looks great with your furs.
ReplyDeleteYour pal,
Titus
oh TD I knew you would love hasing a puppy!!!!
ReplyDeleteCiara, your first parcel, that very exciting and what a lovely present you got from Stella.
Mum laughed when you fell over Thunder, she said sorry. BOL!
~lickies, Ludo
What a nice welcome gift. Your blanket is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteTD cheated in that game of chicken tug. It's no fair lying down on top of the chicken.
Hi there, we came over from Dory's and immediately fell in love with Ciara. What a furball!! Nice getting to know all of you. What a team!
ReplyDeleteThat blanket is so sweet. So thoughtful of Jo and Stella.
What a pretty blankie you got! What a lucky pup to have such nice friends!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute bwankie!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think Ciara gets cuter everyday!
Hey look outside.. knock knock knock... ciara.. I'm here. Your mom wants me to play with you. Let me in. I have a kicky feet move to show you
ReplyDeletenorwood
Hi there, thanks for coming by for a visit. Yes, I have my own blog and so does Minnie. When Minnie first came, she has alot of pictures Aunty Diana (the human who help us blog) wants to post. She feels that it's not fair that my blog be taken over to post about Minnie and so Minnie got her own blog.
ReplyDeleteGreat movie! What excitement a puppy can bring into a home.
ReplyDeleteWags and Licks,
Mollie Jo & Bobo
Pee Ess: Enjoy these times with Ciara....She will only be little for a short time...then she might give you a run for you money. BOL
What a super nice present!
ReplyDeleteSam
That fleece blankie couldn't be more perfect for you! How very very nice of Jo and Stella. And, Ciara, you tell your moma that it doesn't matter if you have a nice thick coat. It feels so cozy to curl up under a soft yummy blankie! (Speaking of yummy ... we bet you really enjoyed those cheesey treats!)
ReplyDeleteLove
Fergi and Jake ooxx
What a perfect blanket for you! Your house looks like a party for sure, except maybe you need some sneakers so you don't slip :)
