More snow pics and our new foster Thalia

Hey everybuddy,  It's me Ernie.  Notice I don't have a leash ---- I promise I didn't move fast or do zoomies like I would like to.  Mom was proud of me.  I was careful.  Could hardly do anything different.  On top of the snow was ICE - (M says it was about 1/2" thick).  Made it hard to walk let alone do zommie fun.

Our big tree what shades us in the summer has a real case of the droopies.  Those branches are usually about 7 feet off the ground.  A few branches cracked and were on the ground but when the ice/snow melted most of them came off the ground.  We think M will be busy ....

 Sasha exploring and checking things out.  She had a hard time walking too. Don't tell her I said so but she is getting older and moves slower most of the time.  EXCEPT when the cat comes to our back fence and wiggles his tail at her...

 Mom's palm tree is drooping a lot too with the ice and snow.

 M wondered if it would ever be the same.....we saw her "hitting" the branches and the ice and snow fell off...

 Lucas was following his nose sniffing who knows what.  It had warmed up a bit this day and he even stayed out a bit with us and didn't wear a coat.  BUT as soon as we all went inside the little ones curled up right in front of the heater vent....

 Not sure what Chica was checking out.. But she was busy sniffing things too.  You probably noticed we all did sniffies instead of zoomies.   Chica and Lucas are small enough they could walk on top and not sink down at all in the snow....

 It was like a big tunnel/tent under the tree with the droopy branches.

 Heard M telling D Sasha is sure getting white in the face.  They still love her lots though..

 Wish M could get some better pics of me... she uses the excuse that since I am so dark it is hard to get good pics.  She just needs to work harder so you can all see my handsome self...

 This is Thalia.  Our newest foster.  She is the 44th foster we have had.  She is about 4 years old.  M thinks she may be a bit older.  She is so sweet.  It seems like she has always been with us.  She is about 8 lbs.  We have gotten so used to M & D bringing in fosters, we meet them at the door to see who is coming in next.  When they go to an adoption event and come home we check to see if that one came back or if there is a new one.  Very interesting...

 She likes to cuddle and fell asleep on D's lap.  Chica wanted to be there but was "content" to sit next to his lap and close to Thalia.

Bye for now.  We hope you all have power and warmth.    Ernie and the pack
