Still cold but the snow has all but gone

Despite the fall of some more snow yesterday the thaw started by mid afternoon and this morning there was a frost but no overnight fall of snow. Pity as I like to follow the tracks animals make in the snow and when day breaks the world looks so different with a dusting of snow.

Remember this cold will mean many birds will come into the gardens seeking food so leave out some seed and fat balls. If we had made an effort to retain the fat from Christmas there would be fat balls enough for all the birds and we would have saved a load of washing up liquid and fat going into the sewage system too.

Michelle the blond vet phoned boss (he) yesterday to see how I was and will visit when she is this way to catch up on things. Great lady and a caring vet too. Took her dog out for lots of walks over the Christmas period, very important to keep bonding with your dog and make exercise for dogs and humans part of your routine. That way we all stay fit and keep control of our bodies. She is to give a talk shortly on the evolution of the dog so I will keep you posted when it is available on the net.

My web site http://www.healthyboxerdog.com/ has had some additional material added and you can get PuppyPower the definitive e-book on choosing and caring for your puppy there as well. I am in the process of getting together all the articles about dogs, and boxers in particular, to add as a resource for people who visit .

Have a good day and remember look at every day as an opportunity to learn something new or increase the knowledge you already have about something. Only by furthering our knowledge and taking some positive action can humans continue to survive.
