Chuck

I have no word of the day today.
I'm done, washed up, I've had it. Chuck and I are having the same kind of a day. It is once more snowing - not a lot - just blowing around like crazy. I'm just tired of being cold and in the house. I'm frustrated - as are all of us awaiting warm weather. Chuck is 10 - and feeling it at times. He takes anti inflammatories, fish oil and vitamin E every day and I give him an injection every three weeks. He is still a vital, busy and a happy guy - sort of like me. But both of us need some warmth and sunshine for our achy bones. So, for today I am getting my warmth from Chuck's incredible coat. He is a red and white Pembroke Welsh Corgi - the dog the Queen loves beyond measure. And so do I.
Awwwwww spring is coming.

A lovely shot Cathy, a clever and original crop too.

@grammyn Better watch out, katy. I just might take you up on that. Yo are having Spring time and I have snow flying by the window - not really sticking, just obnoxious flurries.
March 13th, 2013  
@sailingmusic I keep telling myself that!.
March 13th, 2013  
@maggiemae I can't wait. Just one of those days.
@ruthmouch I bet she has to feel better.
@fannyb Has it helped? I take multis.
@nadaa Just not soon enough for me.
@katieannb Thank you Katie. He is my Great Protector Boy.
@seanoneill I take too many dog shots. Have to try something different.

Cathy, I know just how you feel, we are having endless miserable weather here interspersed with the odd sunny hour or so. It's bitterly cold which I find so exhausting. Chuck's colour is warm and cheering, so thank your lovely dog from me!
March 13th, 2013  
Awww... he does look like he's awaiting some better weather! And you should totally take Katy ( @grammyn ) up on her offer... she is a great hostess and will take you to some great places to get some fab photos! :)
March 13th, 2013  
What great company for each other while this cold weather is around, cuddle up & eventually the Spring will spring!!! She is a beautiful dog deserves to be much loved.
March 13th, 2013  
Hugs!! I'm feeling burnt out with most everything this week, too!
March 13th, 2013  
Aww, he's fab Cathy. Cuddle up together, keep warm and stay happy :)
March 13th, 2013  
Tomorrow is another day Cathy...and if you weren't having an off day we wouldnt have got that great shot of Chuck! :-)
March 13th, 2013  
Wonderful portrait and crop!
March 13th, 2013  
I hope spring reaches you soon
March 13th, 2013  
Beautiful picture and words!
March 13th, 2013  
What a beautiful boy he is. I'm being warmed by my cat on my lap, otherwise feel just like you. The sun will come out ... soon... I'm sure of it....
March 13th, 2013  
Oh your words are so lovely and this is a beautiful portrait of him.
March 13th, 2013  
I like Chuck....hope you both warm up soon...
March 13th, 2013  
Lovely words. What a gorgeous face he has. I too am longing for Spring. Dreary, cold weather is enough to bring anyone down xx
March 13th, 2013  
What a charming little chap! Great shot Cathy and I can sympathise with you - I just want some nice warm sunshine and more than a fleeting glimpse of it too.
March 13th, 2013  
Oh, poor chuck. He does look awfully sad.
March 13th, 2013  
@cdonohoue Waiting on you!!!
March 13th, 2013  
It has to stop sometime, right? Someday, there will be sunshine and warmth and flowers and birds, yadda, yadda, yadda. This weather has messed up my mind. Hang in there, Cathy and Charlie!
March 13th, 2013  
What a sweet shot of Chuck.
March 13th, 2013  
aww what a closeup, amazing!
March 14th, 2013  
You and Chuck are not alone!! My hands are really giving me a lot of trouble with each day the weather changes. Warmer, colder, warmer, colder- I just wish it would be steady!
March 14th, 2013  
What a fabulous shot
March 14th, 2013  
Oh and he looks so warm and lovable!! I can relate...I thought for sure coming back to T.X. i would be warm , and i really shouldnt complain as it was up in the 70's today...but tonight i believe it has fallen into the 40's! ha! Im so spoiled!! I cant stand being cold when i am in the house! I guess we are conserving energy because Steve has the heat turned off!! Great Shot Cathy! Im sending you warmth from T.X.! :)

You're welcome to come visit any time ;) I think I'd suffer from SAD too if it was cold and grey for too long. Summer for you is just around the corner.
