Here in most of Canada this day we have Family Day . It is also Papa’s last day of his mid winter break BOOHOO ! it has been nice to have him home with us for the week ! but I guess as of tomorrow it is back to the old grind for him .
It has been so very cold here the past few days that the weather network has had a dangerous cold warning across the board . Temps have been any where from –30 C to –35C and colder with the wind chills but the good thing is the sun has been shining . We have basically stayed indoors other then to fill feeders for the birds and critters . I have been going crazy as I love the outdoors so I sucked it up got bundled and layered up took Miggs for a walk and we played in the snow for a bit the sun was shining the wind was calm and I was warm and toasty and barley able to move with all the clothing on lol . Papa took these photos !
Miggs loves the snow and cold , we think she has Husky in her and is always looking for someone to be out there with her to play . Trying to get her to come in the house and warm her bones as we tell her is a chore lol !
We were playing tug of war with her frozen rope lol She is a strong girl and can pull me over and I am no light weight lol
The fact that I was laughing gave her a bit of advantage here cause once I get laughing all goes to pot as me mum would say lol !
Miggs tries to get around me to get her rope and then she does this move we call the Miggy hug as she leans against you half wraps her self around you like she is hugging you .
HA!! looks like I won that tug of war finally lol !
The temps have warmed up a bit now –16C that’s warm compared to what it has been lol . Miggs and I had fun and are all in cozy watching movies . The kids are doing well I talked to them for a bit on Facebook earlier today they are working going to school and all doing fine we hear from them from time to time but they all have their own lives and so that is just the way it is at least they are all healthy and happy .
Until next time .

you look like you're having a great time. Happy Family Day to you all.
Any chance to play with Miggs is a good one.
It felt milder today, but only because the winds had died down.
Dogs and children are a great match, especially with one like Miggs!
Layers, layers and layers! The only way to stay warm these days. Brrr...it's been brutal outside. But it looks like you're having a great time despite the cold.
Hahaha!
Look at you 2 playing in the snow!
Stay toasty Elaine...
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Looks like you and Miggs were enjoyed each other and the snow.
Looks like you were having lots of fun, dog's seem to love the snow !
Beautiful shots Elaine, please stay safe and warm.

I hope you enjoyed your Family Day.. Miggs looks like she is having fun playing with you outside.. She is so cute, love the hug description..Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday!
It sure was a cold family day, but lovely and sunny. Our daughter's dog (boxer) loves the snow. We spent some time visiting the grandkids.
you're too cute bundled up. :)
Hi there, Just about the time I think it's cold here-you write about real cold. It's been windy here today so most of our snow is melted. Hope you have a wonderful week. Thank you for your kind thoughts on my recovery.
Hugs,
Noreen
I feel bad for you as I sit here with the blue sky and sun coming in through the window. I am glad that it is warming up a little - as if minus 16 is warm! Now that it is lent it means that easter is on the way, so spring will nearly be here!! xx
It has aactually warmed up th >-10 for two days. I feel like I've gone to Florida. :)
Hope you were as warm in our gear as Miggs was in her fur coat, Elaine? And, yes we do know about that feeling when we are forced to be inside. We get out as much as possible to walk, but when sidewalks are snow-packed and/or icy it's not much fun walking in the street.
