Too Much Snow For Sharkey!

Too Much Snow For Sharkey!

Posted by F&S

As Martha wrote about on her blog today, we were hit hard with another snowstorm.  We Frenchies wanted to go outside and explore, so we donned our beautiful new white snow parkas.  Of course, we had no idea how deep the snow was and things got a little dicey.

Being celebrity dogs, we, of course, have a wonderful and loyal following.  And sometimes, we even get the greatest gifts from our fans.  We receive beautiful paintings, wall clocks, toys, snacks, and most recently, dishes.  But, Sharkey had a little bone to pick with our latest gift.

G.K. and I were outside the other day when it started to snow again!  This has been quite a winter, so far.  I was concerned about the donkeys out there in their paddock so G.K. and I trekked out through the snow to pay them a visit.

As you may have heard, we’ve had quite a bit of snow here at the farm.  Yesterday, however, was quite a different story because it was raining all day on top of all that snow, making it just pain dismal.  Good thing we Frenchies, don’t need an excuse to curl up and take a nap.  …

The farm crew has been really busy with all of their winter chores and one of them is winter pruning.  As you know, we have several apple trees and it’s really important to cut back last year’s new growth in order to stimulate the fruit-bearing limbs.  Pruning the apple trees means you have lots of …

Franny and I wanted to play outside the other day, but it was just too darn cold, so we started looking for indoor options.  Martha keeps toys for us all around the house and I wanted to play with some that were in a little storage cube.  Of course, things don’t always go according to …

If you’ve been following Martha on Twitter, you know that she has been travelling in Columbia and also in Florida.  Finally, she’s coming home and told us that she is craving a homemade vegetable soup.  We, Frenchies, thought it would be nice if that soup was ready and waiting for her, so we got busy.

Sharkey and I have blogged quite a bit about all the snow that we’ve gotten at the farm.  Snow is really kind of fun, if it doesn’t cascade from a roof on top of you.  While we were scouting around the other day, we came upon some snow saucers and hopped on board.  Have a …

Yesterday, Franny kind of kept you hanging about what we, Frenchies, would find next on our little adventure around the farm after the blizzard.  She ended the blog as we were headed towards the stable to visit our friends there.  Let me just say that after a heavy snow, you just can’t be too careful …

Today on Martha’s blog, she posted photos of what things looked like at the farm right after the blizzard.  I have to tell you that Sharkey and I were really concerned with how fiercely the wind was blowing.  It was kind of difficult to go outside and do, you know what.  Well, once things settled …
