Off across the pond

 I am finally getting over jet lag & have downloaded all the pics from my camera so I can post about our trip back home.
 We flew out of Newark & the day we left was freezing cold with snow everywhere.  It was a weds & all the storms had been coming up the coast mid-week so I was sure we wouldn't get away without some kind of delay.
 We were lucky & the weather was clear so we had no problems & our flight left on time.  It was an overnight flight which was not fun, very cramped so no sleep, lots of turbulence & may have involved a battle with my boots & the bathroom door.  Good thing Popster is used to me & not too easily embarrassed!  We arrived safely, early, early Thurs morning & were met by my youngest (baby) brother Nigel & my nephew Barry.  My older brother Terry & my nephew Paul had also driven up from Canterberry just to say hi so we had coffee with them before driving back to Upwood

 Nigel & Susan live in the house I grew up in
 
This is Nelson....... part of the welcoming committee.....he helped make us feel a little better about leaving Molly
 This is Riley aka "that short guy".  He belongs to Barry & Zoe & they live right next door
 He was being very serious & wasn't having any part of me trying to make him smile!

 Finally he decided maybe I was okay!
Love

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.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. 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...
