Wiggle - Day 895

Only a couple of days to go until the Wootton Bassett fundraising event when we will be in the High Street for the Christmas Lights Switch-On. The weather here is freezing so we're hoping there's a good turnout and we aren't left out in the cold for no reason!

I've decided to leave Wiggle and Sofy at home as I don't think they will have much fun. It will be cold and being evening time, there's not going to be a lot for them to do apart from stand around so rather than having to worry, Wiggle and Sofy will stay home and guard the sofa. It does mean that they won't get to see Santa and the Reindeer, but I'll take photo's for them!

Wiggle - Day 894

We had more snow! Ok, so not tons of the stuff, but we woke up to a covering and more falling. As we love snow, this discovery was very exciting, even early in the morning when we went out!

First snowy footprints of the winter:













Murky shapes in the dark, snowy field:











Falling flakes:












The snow stopped during the day and has mostly gone around here now but it's bitterly cold out so we are now tucked up in the warm, thankful to have the heating working and while Wiggle and Sofy are curled up on the sofa, I'm relaxing with a little mulled wine......

There's still time to vote for Wiggle in the Pet Superstar Competition - follow this link if you've not already voted: http://www.mypetsuperstar.com/gallery.aspx?id=2695&p=2&c=inspirational

We really would appreciate some more votes as the opportunity to win a feature in the magazie would be brilliant for Labrador Rescue South East & Central.

Wiggle - Day 892

Yesterday we walked into town to meet some friends and watch the Christmas Lantern Parade make its way through through the town and the Christmas lights get switched on.

Wiggle and Sofy had a fun time, getting lots of fuss and Sofy even managed to find herself a whole doughnut that someone had dropped! I'd only just realised that she had found the doughnut but in a matter of seconds, it was gone. Wiggle made do with watching people eat and I suppose when you sit on the ground, there's not a lot else to see apart from human feet!










Part of the Lantern Parade:









On our way home, after the lights had been switched on:










Today Wiggle and Sofy have done lots of running in the frosty field, both of them being especially boingy earlier. I had been invited to the parents for lunch so Wiggle and Sofy were very happy when I came home with leftovers for roast dinner! After the earlier running, then a big dinner, they've spent the rest of their day relaxing.....

Wiggle - Day 891

We've had snow!!! Ok, not lots and lots and definitely not as much as Wiggle's girlfriend Lucy got this week in Seattle http://lucythelabseattle.blogspot.com/ but we woke up to a dusting of snow.

I wrapped up warm and we went over to the field and before running around, Wiggle and Sofy wanted a quick biscuit treat:













Sofy, always the little piglet, was wanting more biscuit treats and didn't bother moving from her position!













Wiggle was off and sniffing, running around in the long frozen grass:










But soon came running back when I called and he remembered that he'd not had breakfast yet!












Snack over, Wiggle ran off again while Sofy then came running for a biscuit:











Frosty dogs:










As well as the snow, we had another wonderful surprise this morning - a very fab donation from one of Wiggle's best supporters and avid blog reader:










I won't embarass this very kind person by naming them, but thank you so much for your generosity, it really means a lot to us. Thank you and virtual Labbie Licks and Wags from Wiggle!

Wiggle - Day 890

Where has this week gone?? All the upheaval of this week and the work to get the heating problems fixed have made this week fly by. Wiggle and Sofy have taken it all in their stride though, and if anything, seemed to be bored of it all.


After the initial excitement of visitors, Wiggle and Sofy had apparently gone back to their respective beds and shown very little interest. I'm very pleased with them as it was noisy and messy having the pipework for the central heating ripped out and then the new pipes installed. Fortunately though, the chap doing the work has dogs of his own so I didn't need to worry about the front door being left wide open!


Now its all fixed and we are all warm and toasty, so if we do get the cold weather forecast for this winter, we're all ready for it! Although so far, we've only had the teeniest flakes of snow.....

Wiggle - Day 889

Happy Thanksgiving!










We're thankful for a lot of things, especially right now, very thankful for my parents. As always, I'm thankful that Wiggle is the wonderful companion that he is and of course, Wiggle wouldn't be the dog he is without Labrador Rescue South East & Central.
