Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Howdy blogaroos. Top o’ the mornin to ya! Yup – it’s Saint Paddy’s Day. A day to drink green beer and eat corned beef and cabbage. Personally, I’ll skip the beer – but bring on the beef. Minus the cabbage.

Now we are usually all subjected to a group holiday shot- but because those photo shoots can become rather raucous, and because the Warden didn’t want anyone inadvertently stepping on the Coyote’s foot, we decided to put off the group shot until Easter. When the dreaded rabbit ears come out. So it was just yours truly who got to wear the Lucky Charms headdress. The top was the best result. Although there were some other contenders… like the first shot when I realize I have to wear shamrocks on my head. How sad can I look?

Cute. But I look like some leprechaun stole my treats.

Here I’m just bored…

Here I get happy because she removes the headgear and I think we’re done…

And then THIS happened…

You can stop laughing. Good thing she had good treats.

So the Coyote is doing well – eating and nor limping. Although, the Warden lost her voice from loudly saying “leave your foot alone!” when she removed his bandage. The vet said he didn’t need to wear the cone of shame, but just to keep an eye on his nail. It looks fine to me – although I’m also not allowed to lick it. No wonder the Warden is hoarse. And just so the Coyote wouldn’t feel like the odd man out, the Boss decided (as he sometimes does) to lick his own feet. I think the Warden took two blood pressure pills last night….

Remember how we were talking about Wojtek the Bear – and all of his statues? And Maggie sent us a photo of one in Szczecin, Poland. Well we have another one to add to our list! Our friend Iza, from Poland is visiting Scotland- and LOOK what she sent us from Edinburgh!

That’s so cool!!! Thanks Iza!!!!

Iza even sent us a Where’s Wojtek photo. See if you can find him!!

If you happen to see a Wojtek statue – please snap a photo and send it to us! We love seeing Wojtek!

On a different note, I missed my time with the Borzoi babes on Tuesday, but I did go to training with the Shaggies yesterday and today I’m off to class. I just hope the Warden doesn’t make me wear the shamrock headband. Mind you, I could provide good distraction practice for the other dogs in class. If they don’t attack me first…

I’ll close here with a little Irish proverb. The real one talks about coins- but I modified it just a bit:

May your heart be light and happy, may your smile be big and wide, and may your pockets always have a treat or two inside!

Have a good one. Peace and paws up. Stay safe.
