Boy! It’s been almost a year since my last entry – my typist has really been slacking!!

So what’s been going on since last summer? We had some pretty cold & icy winter weather, glad us pups were snug in the warm house during those days. Pixie has been on chipmunk patrol almost every day, weather permitting. She will even sit out on watch during light rain showers. That girl is dedicated to her sport! Ugg is still being an annoying pest but he’s the apple of dad’s eye, so I have to tolerate him.

The parent’s have been busy pretty much every weekend. They are trying to finish up our tiny “weekend cabin” and they have been busy trying to coordinate the building of our new home. This new home will get Pixie back closer to her North Carolina roots since that is where she was born and our new home is around 24 miles away from the NC state line. I think I will like living in the mountains – plenty of wildlife to watch, deers, turkeys, lizards, etc. The only thing I will miss is barking at the weekly trash pick up guys, UPS & FedEx deliveries and the mailman. Those things are not an option where the house is going. Sigh… I really hope the wildlife will make enough appearances to keep my barking voice in shape.

Here’s the view I will be enjoying from my future new deck in the late fall & early spring.
