A round small dog being petted lovingly by its person

 

Nigel was so happy to run around today

 

Nigel waiting for me

 

A present from my friend

She made it

 

Overlapping ripples in a rain puddle

 

Nigel willing me to get up and take him for a walk

 

Me making Randy feel good (I hope!)

 

A customer gave the wrong address

 

My boy comes running

 

Lauren sweetly took my hands when I told her how much I will miss her

 

Car wash

 

I bought myself a couple of presents

(owl figurine and two Japanese cups)

 

Gentle Russell being shy

He went behind the fence

 

Having morning coffee, watching the birds

 

Hamming it up for the delivery guy who had to take a picture. He laughed.

 (It was a bag of bird seed.)

The birds were so pretty in the lightly falling, gentle snow

 

On our walk, Leonard abruptly lay down in the leaves

 

A squirrel leaning on the base of the bird feeder and snacking.....also a pretty cloud

 

Rainy Night A slender white dog under the streetlight

 

Alice's ears blowing in the breeze

 

6 am investigating why Nigel won't stop barking...answer...Raccoon

 

Our tree is so big now

 

Our squirrel hanging onto and eating off of the suet cake

 

In the bed, talking to my cousin on the phone

 

Robert carrying Alice

 

Alice rubbing her head against me while I meditate

 

A man with a fancy moustache

 

In real life and in my mind

Imagined dog teeth 

and

Alice with her hackles up

 

First thing in the morning Nigel stretches with me

 

The guy w/ sharp sunglasses who waited for Nigel & I to get out of the way on the icy sidewalk

 

Grey street, white snow, pink sky

 

So many nice customers today

Clockwise from upper left: 

Nice lady who gave great directions

Sweet-smile lady who got a side of vinegar and made to text me the code I forgot to ask for

Young woman with a hard-to-find house but was super sweet about it

Nice dude with a prosthetic arm who worried about me driving in the snow

 

A Dark-eyed Junco kicking up seeds with her feet

(why?)

 

This female cardinal was so pretty

 

The heat went out in our building

 

Earl throwing down salt and Nigel chasing it

 

My friend's cat, Moira Rose, bundled up and watching

 

Alice did a little jig when I asked her if she wanted supper

 

Cold people walking

 

The tow truck driver slipped on some ice (He didn't fall.)

 

Big Dog who showed up on my porch

 

Alice quickly puts herself to bed when I ask her if she wants to walk with us

(hell no!)

 

Too cold for a walk

 

Nigel and me walking down the middle of the snowy street

 

A female downy woodpecker on the suet

 

Little Alice curled up like a croissant by me on the bed

 

Leonard starting to play

He has only three legs and only one good eye

 

The beautiful light in Joanna and Tamas' upstairs

 

The bare crabapple through the bedroom window and the glass front door

 

Nigel on my chest WILLING me to get off the phone and take him for a walk
