Hi pals, Puffy and Mei-Ling here,
As momma and daddy feared, it snowed a few days ago at our place and the workers have yet to return to finish the yard work that they started and messed up. Our water pipes are still exposed and with the temperatures getting colder and colder, it's only a matter of time before the pipes freeze and burst. The boss of the workers said he hired a new employee to come out to our house last Saturday to begin the retaining wall construction but no one showed up. When daddy called and told the boss that he was tired of all the excuses and delays, he was told they didn't come out because it snowed in Gallup so they assumed it was snowing at our place also. We did get a light dusting of snow on Friday, but by Saturday it was nice and sunny and the snow was melting. So here we are at Tuesday, a fine sunny day with the temperature hovering around 20 degrees but come night and early morning hours before the sun come up, it is about 4 degrees.
The boss man insisted that he would have a crew out at our home TODAY to jackhammer out all the messed up concrete. Now, not only will we have lots of nasty noise, but without the messed up concrete, there will be more mud as the snows come and melt (actually I enjoy the mud but can really do without all the feetsie washes). It is 9:15AM, and we are waiting for the workers to show up. Momma checked the weather forecast and more snow is supposed to happen on Friday...
Workers finally showed up after 10AM but weren't able to jackhammer out the messed up concrete because they didn't have a jackhammer! They tried to a heavy hammer and chip it out but noticed concrete flying all over the place and were afraid that they were going to break momma's glass French doors so they stopped. They also didn't bring the huge concrete saw so they weren't able to cut any of it out either. They are supposed to come back tomorrow:the saga continues....
To go with Zoe's beautiful sunrise we thought you might like to see a colorful sunset...
Same sunset but picture taken from a slightly different angle...
Hey Puffy, what are you doing?
Mei-Ling, do you want to try my popsicle? It's really tasty as you have to do is lick it...
#&^@! My tongue is stuck...
I bet all you smart pups knew that would happen, didn't you? Don't worry it wasn't cold enough to keep her stuck too long - DARN!!! I was enjoying some peace and quiet.
Here I am showing Mei-Ling snow.
Excuse me while I piddle on the construction blocks...
This is the walkway that is supposed to be jackhammered out and re-done...
Yup, that's me piddling on some more blocks - BOL, BOL...
Look at all our feetsies prints in the snow. I'm checking out Mei-Ling's behind to make sure it's nice and clean - BOL, BOL
These blocks are for the retaining wall that hasn't been constructed yet...
Mei-Ling didn't quite know what to make of the snow but after a bit decided that it tastes pretty good...
Mei-Ling still not quite certain of what all this white stuff is. Wait until she is made to go outside when it is actually snowing. I think she is going to enjoy it...
A guy can never piddle too much - BOL, BOL.
