Every few days the dogs get together and have a howling session. We don’t know why but the result is entertaining. I managed to get a clip of one such session “performed” this past week:

Take a listen!

This happens every few days, normally started by Bru but occasionally Blondie or JoJo will lead off. Songs of their fathers? Beagle+Terrier, Beagle+American Eskimo Dog, and Spaniel+Greyhound — not what I would consider primarily “hounds”  but obviously something in their genetic makeup links them. At any rate, the howling reminds me of their wild dog heritage.

It has been another mild week but that is supposed to change beginning tonight. A large storm is approaching that should give us more snow and usher in colder temperatures. High yesterday and today at about 50 degrees; after tonight highs will be in the low to-mid-30 degree range.  I have the John Deere tractor and blade staged for the event, and picked up some groceries after work last night to get us through the weekend.

Forecast for today and next week

In most other respects the week was routine except for some family news: Pam’s niece Lilly is having medical problems that required surgery. Lilly appears to have come through that OK but now begins a long recovery process. Positive vibes to her and her mom Becky.

That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!

Pam’s Two Cents Worth:

I have actually howled along with the dogs on occasion. Feels great to howl out frustrations and stresses. Wonder what the neighbors think when we are all in full howl mode?

Happy Trails.
