Life Lately March 2025

The month started off with a fun little weekend adventure (we went to Pittsburgh to see the Leafs/Penguins game) and it's ending with a fun little weekend adventure (we are headed to WDW this morning)! In between, I don't really know where the time went! We took Avalanche on many walks, which is nothing new, and we also took our niece and nephew to Medieval Times, which was entertaining to say the least! We had a really nice family gathering up in New York, although we missed both C and S1, as they were unable to join to us. C had a terrible cold, and he didn't want to get either our baby nephew or my 95-year old YaYa sick, so he stayed home while I went up to NY by myself for the day.

Beyond that, the biggest news of the month is that we experienced another first with Avalanche - he asked me for pets! He is usually quite aloof, but there was a really loud, booming noise one night this week, and it frightened him pretty badly. I hugged him and reassured him he was safe, and he not only just tolerated my affection, but he seemed rather content to stay in my embrace. That alone was wonderful, but then the next evening, C and I were watching TV, and Avalanche just wandered over and stared at me with his beautiful blue eyes, At first I thought he needed to go outside, but he inched closer and closer to my hand, so I reached over to pet him. This usually results in him ducking his head and walking away to avoid me, but not this time! He let me pet his head and scratch his ears and run my fingers up and down his back, and when I stopped, he looked up at me expectantly and swished his tail (also a fairly uncommon occurrence!), so I resumed the attention and he happily accepted it! We've had him for almost 28 months, so this has been a long time coming and was certainly worth the wait! We love him so much!

I had this print made for C
for Valentine's Day

we hung it on the side of the kitchen island,
right above his water and food bowls

I love my family!

when C and I picked up our niece and nephew
to go to Medieval Times, this is what they'd written
on their easel...so precious!!!

Excited to be boarding our flight to Florida shortly...we haven't been to WDW since last June and we've been looking forward to this weekend!

Happy Tails to you!
