What Gidget Does at Least Once a Day that Melts My Heart

140115-093215 logoThe minute I pick Gidget up and hold her in my arms, she tilt’s her head back and looks up at me.  It makes my heart melt into one big puddle.

She does this just about every. single. time. She would hold that pose hours on end if I had nothing else to do in my life.

It’s in these moments we connect soul to soul.  No words. Only a language felt with the heart that is pure joy and love.

Simple Pleasures. Polo Smiles.

polo gidget eI’ve been digging through the clothes I’ve accumulated over the years from having Frankie and Joie to see what may fit Lil’ G. She is the tiniest dog I’ve ever had.  Some of the tops are too big, but this little polo fit her just right. I couldn’t let this go by without snapping a picture.

Miss Preppy G all ready for what the day will bring.  Well, I’m sure it will bring much napping now that she just got done with her water therapy in the tub– plus a bath. Later she will have her nails trimmed…. not her favorite thing.

I love most days of the week, but in the winter, I do love the weekends for getting small little things done around the house.  Just little putt-sing projects. With the colder weather and not much to do outside, I take simple pleasures in all the inside things I can do.

Wishing you a happy puttzy day (I stole the word puttzy from my mom)!

Find Out What the Gidget Thermometer Predicts for Upcoming Wisconsin Weather

snuggly g eGidget’s position within her weenie pocket this morning indicates a big drop in temperature heading our way.

From what I’m understanding by her nestled in appearance we are expecting temps to drop rapidly today and winds to pick up this afternoon.  Windchill to drop to almost 40 below overnight. This cold snap is expected all week, so lots of cuddling will be needed.

This also calls for staying cozy and warm in front of the woodstove.

Later this afternoon we will also welcome friends, Karin, Ron and son, Cameron visiting from Illinois.

Long time fan’s of Frankie who they met quite a few years ago, then a fan of Joie’s who they met last year. And now it is Gidget’s turn to wiggle her way into their hearts.

Now are you ready for this?  They are from Illinois, so yes, they are Chicago Bear fan’s as well. So we’ve invited them over to watch the Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears in the divisional championship at 3:00pm today (hey you know me– I try to think positive!). Believe it or not, they accepted our invitation!

All kidding aside, we are looking forward to the fun rivalry. But most of all we are looking forward to spending time with friends we would have never known if not for Frankie.

GO PACKERS!
