Weasel sleeping in on a Saturday morning

Weasel pouting.
She did NOT want to come in.
She wanted to stay out & play in the snow.

If I had a dollar for every time
my dog made me smile. I would be
a millionaire.

sister Pat, brother Raymond & I took a journey to
the seashore to see our brother Gerald.
