Woof everyone, we sure have plenty of snow!!! 29 inches in my back yard, how about you all, how much did you get if you got snow? Tell us your sNoW MGooDnEss stories!! My story is about a car getting stuck at the top of our street so, we have no emergency access because the driver just left the car, which he/she should not have been driving in the first place, and now no one can go in or out until he/she returns to move the car!! I'm rather barked off at this because I worry about the safty of my family and my neighbors families as well! Other than that we have been plowing, shoveling and snow blowing with all of our neighbors and just having a pawtastic time!
Well can't wait to hear your stories,
Paws 2 u 4 now,

Woof everyone! Happy February!!!
Today, February 2, 2010 is Groundhog Day. Punxsutawney Phil, the Groundhog, comes out of his den and if he sees his shadow, it is predicted that we will experience 6 more weeks of winter. If Phil does not see his shadow we will experience a shorter winter. Did anyone hear if Phil saw his shadow or not? Tell us what u heard and what u think about the prediction! I love snow and guess what? It's SNOWING right now!
Super Bowl Sunday is coming on February 7, 2010. Which team are u rooting for the Indianapolis Colts or the New Orleans Saints? Both are gr8 teams and it should be a pawtastic game!
Also, this month we will celebrate Presidents' Day which was originally known as Washington's Birthday. This special holiday falls on the third Monday of February. This year Presidents' Day falls on February 15, 2010. How do you plan to honor our Presidents on their special day?

Hey guys,
I thought I might make a serious post about what we all know is going on in Haiti.
It's hard to be reminded of stuff like this everyday. I feel it's important though. Please let me start by saying to PRAY and to keep every single one of those people in your thoughts! It's so phenominal how easy it is to donate - Just text HAITI to 90999 to donate $10 to the Red Cross. If money's a bit tight, you can always donate $5 by texting "Yele" to 501501. Both charities are in need of us. I know I've already made my text :-)
Not matter where we are in life, no matter what we are doing or what battles we are facing, we can, as a people and as a race, stand up, rise together, hold another's hand and make a difference. Let those people know they are not alone. Let them know there is love for them. Please take a moment to pray with me. Just one moment.
Father, when we cannot be with our brothers and sisters, we rely upon You to deliver our love. Deliver Your warmth, Your mercy, Your everlasting guiding light that breaks through the darkness - and let there be hope! Give us and all of Haiti the compassion to give beyond our humanly means and save those we can, give Your children the stregnth to restore, the endurance to keep climbing, and the faith, love and guidance to carry on. Bless us, and forever save and cradle close to Your heart those who need you most. Amen.
Remember, no matter where you are, love can travel through any distance. Tonight, I hope the people of Haiti feel our love when its too dark to see it.
Well, I just finished watching the Hope for Haiti Telethon that Mr. George Clooney put together. Man, was that moving! Every song that was played...so powerful! I officially love every single celebrity that participated in it. Honestly :-). I'm off to look for a DVD of the telethon incase they're selling it. Wonderful, wonderful thing! Let us join them and beliveve we can make things better!!!
I'd love to talk to you all if you want to throw in your words and prayers. Sometimes discussions like these remind us of how very lucky and blessed we are!
God Bless you all, thanks for sticking in with this long post, and please donate!
Have a WOOFderful weekend. (Yes, Merc, I stole your lingo there! haha ;-)
Love you all (and Mr. and Mrs. Purton, I love you so much and will email you soon!),
God bless,
Shea
P.S. I almsot forgot... Layla, here's a virtual hug back! Thanks for patting my back about my Muse boys. It was a close shot for them both.
This time for real - 'night all. <3

Blog pals!! Hello! Merry Christmas!! Happy Holiday Season! Gosh I can't believe it's finally happened! What a wonderful amazing time it's been and I hope all of your homes and hearts were filled with happiness, laughter, warmth, family, and good food!! Mine sure was. My last post was only a few days ago (or perhaps a week now), but my my my so much to tell you all! Mercer does such a marvelous job holding down the fort for me - you're the best, Merc, thank you so much!
First - Layla, a PUPPY!!! That is so delightful and I am so so happy that you can open your heart to this new family member! Enjoy every second of having a sweet little puppy and take lots of pictures - they grow up so fast! My Maxy is SO big right now (mostly because he ate all the iced sugar cookies we made for the neighbors a few weeks ago.....and then opened a box of chocolate covered graham crackers under the tree and ate those as well.....you get the point), even though he's still a little puppy to us! (Just like you are also, Mercer!). And Layla thank you for your wonderfully kind compliment to me as well, that was such a nice boost to my day when I read that! Happy birthday to your mum too! (see how Merc and I spelled 'mom'? We got the international spelling down pact!!!)
Second – Christmas!!! I love it so much, and am still holding on to it tight! Ours was was simple, quiet, peaceful, humble, and spectacular all at once! Mom made a delicious home dinner and then I went caroling! Oh yes, I went caroling. Dad, Kelley, her wonderful friend, and myself make up our group which I am either titling the "Holly Herolders" or the "Greensleevers". Which name do you all like best?? We had top hats and everything and I conducted the group to the lyrics with my trusty baton! I even attached some holly to the brim of my top hat. Mr. Dickens would have been delightfully proud.
Lastly, I just returned from fantastic trip up north the Catskill Mountains! My Grandparents have a beautiful, really big, woodsy-type home up there with a REAL crackling fireplace that I love (we only have a gas one!), high ceilings that allow the bay windows to soar, and a fabulous view of the mountains. How can you not love it? So majestic, especially when the sun sets behind it and the sky glows red. And guess what? I even skied!! I couldn't describe anything more exhilarating as you fly down the slopes! I'm put in a chair type device that has skis attached to the bottom of it and a few wonderful instructors take me on a "ride"! I go up the lift and everything. There was no possibility of getting that smile off my face! So speaking of posting pictures, we took plenty so Merc man and I will see what we can do.
Okay friends, I need to go warm up before I can do ANY more typing! Brr is it cold! Stay warm and get ready for New Years!!! What's everyone's plans? I'm so excited to break through to the grand 2010!!! Woohoo!!!!
Oh before I go, Layla thanks for the story support! I love a good group story myself (as you can tell with our Owl story, which I PROMISE we will finish soon!) so keep up blog buddies updated on your antics!
A last Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!
Love you guys,
Shea
P.S. Um, Mercer, why did you stop the countdown? 360 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!! ;-)

Woof everyone, I just wanted to bark at each of u to have a woofderful and Blessed Christmas! I will be spending my time with my family and loving each minute of the day! I will get scratched and petted and sleep in front of the fire and I may even get some special treats, nothing better than that! I hope your dreams come true and that you keep in mind the true meaning of the day. May God bless each of you and may he keep all of our troops, anywhere in the world, safe and out of harm way while he gives them each special blessings.

Hi Everybody! Quick post here! I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry I've been out of touch; I've been a BUSY BUSY elf trying to get ready for Christmas here! All the family is together and we're just holding out breath until the wonderful day! Personally, I wish I could prolong it forever and ever! I just love this season. Every year I say to Mercer how disappointed I am when it's over, and every year he says "Well think about it - next comes New Years, and then Spring where you can start your garden and plant all the flowers while waiting for the Easter bunny! Then Summer is here, you're off of school, you can reminice in those enchanting hot Summer days with walks and vacations! Then before you know it, the leaves start turning colors, Halloween comes, then Thanksgiving and then OH MY GOSH LOOK! It's Christmas time again!!!" I just love you Merc :-)
And don't forget that I love ALL of you very very much and if we don't speak until Christmas, please have a Merry Christmas and Happy new Year. I wish warm blessings into all of your homes and hearts and a peaceful, joyful season.
God Bless you!
