Cambidge University

We parked in what is known as "the backs" of the university & you can walk into quite a few of them from there. Cambridge University is made up of 31 different colleges which were built anywhere from the 13th to the 20th centuries

All the walkways are bordered by naturalized crocus which were just starting to bloom

Trinity college, founded in 1546 by Henry VIII (I wonder if that was before or after he beheaded some of his wives!)

I would love to see this when the trees have leaves

The architecture is stunning

This is one of the oldest college, Clare which was founded in 1326. The oldest one is Peterhouse founded in 1284.

Every place we walked we had to watch out for bicycles because that's how all the students & professors get around

Look at this bridge.....amazing!

This is King's College which was founded in 1441 by Henry VI

I like it in black & white

This one reminds me of Harry Potter

Back to King's

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.

Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly. Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes. It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet. Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners. We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Liza's treat ball

This is one of the most important things in our house - it is Liza's treat ball! I bought this about 9 or 10 years ago & it had a "trap door" where the gaping hole is & when you put treats in it you could control how easily they would fall out as the ball rolled around. Liza learned that if she rolled it down the stairs the treats would usually fall out which is why it looks this way. I have tried super glue etc. but it never stays together! It is sadly beaten & broken but try as I may I have never been able to find another one like it. I have spent hours looking & have bought many similar but nothing will ever take it's place. She knows where it is almost all the time - usually keeps it in her bed - but when it's missing she just paces the house until someone helps her find it. She used to be able to hold it in her mouth like this by just hooking it onto her eye tooth Now she just puts her bottom jaw into the opening like this There is a rit...
