    Hope you are okay. @Dachie
    @Duck-Rabbit Other than the technical issues, doing great. Thank you for asking. We are having a cold April with more snow coming😟 🇨🇦🍁❤️
    Wow! April is about perfect here if you don't mind being coated in pine pollen. @Dachie

    Pouring rain all day ☔️. I am getting my packing organized🫣. I guess I am introducing all of them. This is Sophie, and her colour is Isabella/Piebald, long haired. So she is Isabella, with white, not opposite. She loves the beach and follows Dad on the sandbar, with her ball. Gets wet, covered in sand and sits in my lap. Sophie is very skittish of strangers. I tell people to ignore the dogs,(Ha! Never happens), and if she comes to you, great. If she doesn’t, nothing personal. Sophie hates the Vet. But she loves kisses and growls at Yogi if he tries to but in.

    She has a lot of spunk tackling a stick twice as long as her. @Dachie
    @Duck-Rabbit Oh, Sophie will always go for the biggest stick on the beach, some she cannot even carry so chews on the spot. Funny girl 🇨🇦🍁❤️
    Another sweetie tackling a big stick!
    @LisaS9Thank you Lisa. Yes, Sophie will always go for the biggest stick.
    Beautiful dog, thanks for sharing a photo.
    what a cutie! How many dogs do you have?
    @Cactus @Kim43 @LisaS9 @Duck-Rabbit I cannot post tonight, says text is not recognized. I have it saved in my notes and will try again tomorrow. Technology 🤬 🇨🇦🍁❤️
    How frustrating. I hope you are well @Dachie

    A beautiful day, but calling for freezing rain. The temperature says otherwise. This is Yogi, the Bear. Our only boy. He is an English Cream/black, longhair. English Cream is blond for Dachshund. You typically see blank and tan, more reddish. Yogi is the most affectionate dog we have ever owned. He kisses non stop, loves everybody, loves attention. Always in my lap . Not loyal, this one. He loves me when Dad is away, and completely ignores me when Dad is home. The little traitor. My Freddie was always loyal. Yogi is the biggest, but he has a very thick coat that is soft as silk. He is just on the cusp of 12 pounds. His paws are huge and he can give you “the look”. We think he is a handsome boy.

    He's a handsome pup. We had dachshunds when I was growing up. Love 'em. You've got some special ones.
    I agree, Yogi is very handsome. He sounds much loved too. All of his affection is returned even though he is a traitor.
    Very handsome boy! And so funny about his switching affections between you and your husband! 😄
    @LisaS9 @Duck-Rabbit @Cactus Thank you all, again, for your very kind words for Yogi. And Cactus, you had Dachshunds too! My husband spoiled him so much, and still spoils him. Yogi does not have a mean bone in his body. He is just a very happy, lovable, affectionate Bear. He gets so excited to see the Vet, he is climbing up her leg, and has been known to get a little over excited, and pee on her😝 🇨🇦🍁❤️
    Poor vet @Dachie
    I believe you have seen Sophie before, on my rebounder.
    Maybe so @Dachie
    I am unable to post content or attachments. I will contact Help.

    Turned into a rest day. Went to the Lions Spring Market and spent a little time and money. Now we are going to get the freezing rain, but not for 20 hours, like in Ontario. Thousands are without power. Here it is just Sunday into Monday. I do not have to go out until Wednesday. Our daytime temperatures will be well above zero. Very cold tonight, -18 in the morning. I have, seriously, had enough of this. This is Chloe. Her colour is called Isabella, very rare. She is the second youngest and the loudest. ❤️🇨🇦🍁

    Chloe is very pretty. Glad you got your errands done so you don't have to go out in the freezing rain. My brother is expecting freezing rain in Wisconsin too but he says it shouldn't interfere with the supreme court justice election. @Dachie
    Pretty Chloé
    Pretty pup! Very elegant looking! What kind is she?
    What a pretty girl!
    Chloe is beautiful and her color matches her bed
    She’s a beauty! Stay warm. I hope your power stays on.
    @GreenThumbs @LisaS9 @GrandmaYogi @TNvic @fouine21 @Duck-Rabbit Thank you all for the compliments on Chloe. We agree, she is a pretty girl. Chloe is a miniature, long haired Dachshund, as are all my dogs. I have 3 longhairs, and two smooth coats. I had a wirehair, but we lost him almost three years ago now. I have had this breed over 40 years now. They all come from Alberta, my dear friend bred them for years. Yogi and Chloe were flown here, and the rest we had in Ontario. I drove out to Alberta to get Freddie and came home with 3!🤔 Freddie could not fly due to a heart issue. We obviously love our dogs💖 Just got another weather alert, the freezing rain is coming. I took the garbage up to the bins this morning, who knows what our laneway will be like tomorrow. I have a generator so I am okay if the power goes out. I will bring in more wood as soon as I finish my coffee, and fill a tub outside the door. Guess I will get some steps in today. 🇨🇦🍁❤️
    I'm glad you are prepared for the bad weather. Be careful. Falls are harmful. I'm glad too you were able to have all of your beloved dachshunds. Hopefully, they will stay safe during the bad weather too. @Dachie
    @dachie @LisaS9 @GrandmaYogi @TNvic @fouine21 @Duck-Rabbit You certainly are self-sufficient and resilient. My aunt had adorable wire-haired dachshunds for many years at her thatch-roofed, 600 yr old farmhouse in rural Denmark. She mostly had 2 at a time with some overlapping years. The dogs’ names were one through five in Finnish.
    @GreenThumbs Oh, what a small world. Dachshund’s are an addiction, I had 7 at one time. As they age, we will not get another as we do not want to leave any behind, and we are not getting younger. I love your Aunt lived in a 600 year old farmhouse. If only the walls could talk!
    @dachie agreed. The walls must have so many stories.
    Chloe is BEAUTIFUL!

    Not a bad day. Ontario is getting freezing rain for a 20 period, and out West, extreme cold and 30cm of snow. I hope none of it is heading our way. I really do want spring, first for my travels. Then summer, for the beach🩱⛱️🐚🕶️. ❤️🍁🇨🇦

    spring will get there...eventually!
    It always does, doesn't it. Nature is fairly dependable. @Cactus
    Thanks for my Easter card. It arrived today. @Dachie

    Way to keep moving in the snow. I heard again that Canadians are opting to cancel their trips to the USA. I would too. I wouldn't want the hassle of getting in and out.
    @Duck-Rabbit Yes, it is sad, but necessary. The travel and cruise industries will feel this. I actually closed my US$ account just last week. Honestly, I would be afraid of trying to get back to Canada and being detained by ICE. This is a very dangerous game the Orange Alien is playing, threatening to take our country away, and others. So many people out of work already and more coming. He has been so rude to so many. Here, in Canada, we say the trust is broken and we are never going back. It will never affect our friendship 💖 🇨🇦🍁❤️
    Thanks, when I was a kid growing up in Wisconsin, we would go back and forth across the Canadian border and appreciated the friendliness between our two countries. I even remember using Canadian pennies in Wisconsin. They were so common and the money was worth about the same, people would accept them without question. I am glad we can still be friends. The other night I had a dream that he was bringing in the tribulation (which I am not sure I believe in as the tribulation was written about the fall of the Roman Empire but maybe all empires fall in the same way). @Dachie
    @Duck-Rabbit Oh my! I actually remember when our money was on par with the US. Talk about dating myself🥹I think this empire will fall, but sadly, there will be an awful lot of collateral damage. I look at what I have gone through this past year with health issues. I have had numerous scans, and ultrasounds, X-rays, blood drawn, referred to a respirologist, and cardiologist. I have not paid a cent, except parking at the Hospital. Our shots are free for seniors, flu, RSV, etc. We are very fortunate here, yet folks can barely afford eggs south of the border, cannot fed their families and watching their retirement funds tank. I just hope most make it out the other side. It is quite a trend now, states want to become provinces. 🇨🇦🍁❤️
    I appreciate your post. It's a way for us to know what's going on with Canadians since we only hear what's on the news. I think about you everyday. Stay strong.
    @Kim43 Thank you Kim. As you probably know, we are heading into a Federal Election. It appears to be very close, but who knows? I guess, once we have a Prime Minister, we can focus on getting things done. I hope so anyway. We are already feeling it from the tariffs, it is going to be extremely hard for those on a fixed income, or those in the lower income range. They are the ones I feel bad for. Eating healthy, or eating at all, has become a luxury. I donate to the food bank regularly and “Toonies for Tummies” for school breakfast programs. However, our healthcare is strong and nobody is refused. It has been a bit challenging buying only Canadian, just takes longer to shop. But we are a united Country, we really do like our American neighbours, except for 3 in particular, at the top. So let’s keep this space open to civil, kind, compassionate conversations. We can make a difference. 🇨🇦🍁❤️
    Spring has sprung for you too. Yippee. Many Americans love Canada and Canadians and Greenland and Greenlanders just as they are. I’m sad that hasn’t been a united message.
    @GreenThumbs Thank you for your kind words. Let us all remember to be kind, to be polite, to be friends. The whole situation is sad, but we can continue with our own united message. ❤️🍁🇨🇦
    @GreenThumbs Yes, that is true. Thanks for pointing that out.
    @duck-rabbit @dachie. Meant to tag you both in my reply.

    That's a lot of snow. I hope you have plenty of food to eat.
    Oh no!!!!
    @ElisabethT @Duck-Rabbit @GreenThumbs It does not last. The secondary roads are dry and clear. We never clear this, call it heart attack snow. It is very wet and heavy. My thoughts are on spring🌹 🇨🇦🍁❤️
    Yes, spring has sprung down here so I am sure spring is on the way to you too. @Dachie
