This is the Landing where Mom wants to put some things for Walter. This picture was taken when Mom was very little. The pole and benches are no longer there and the dock needs work. We live across the lake from here, at the base of the big mountain. We can see the Landing from our living room. 

Fun, Fun, Fun

Mom and I went for a walk on the lake yesterday. I got to run, run,run! I went all the way to the point, but Mom just went about half way. She hurt her back a little when she went snowmobiling with Pudgy and Shirley on Tuesday. I got to eat some snow and check out some fish houses. The snow is pretty soft so I had to stay on the snowmobile trails or it was tough going. I took a long nap (after having some biscuits) when we got home. Mom is excited about something she is working on for Walter. She wants to put a new flag pole, a couple benches and some flowers at the Landing at the Highlands where Walter and Merry have a camp, and where Mom grew up as a kid. Aunt Linda and Uncle Noel still have a camp there too. She wants to put a plaque on the pole remembering Walter. Walter owned the water company that supplies all the homes and camps at the Highlands and everyone there knew him and loved him alot. She's going to start raising the money soon, so work can start as soon as the snow melts. Mom sure does smell funny since she hurt her back. She said it was because of somebody named Ben Gay. I guess I don't know who that is.

The Big Snowstorm

Mom finally got around to posting the pictures from the big snowstorm. She's been busy going to work and going skiing on her days off. Mom says it's spring and soon we'll be able to go for long walks. I'm ready!!!

It was even hard to get to the car! 

It was hard getting out of the house! 

The snowbanks are way over my head! 

This is a picture of me and Walter when I was about 8 months old. He used to let me wear his hats! 

My friend Walter

Mom and I are very sad this week. Our good friend Walter passed away. I've known Walter since I was just a little puppy. My Mom grew up across the street from Walter's Aunt a long time ago and then she became friends with him and his wife when they moved to town a few years back. Mom, Dad and Walter used to go on business trips and let me go with them. We always had fun! Walter has a dog named Schaefer and we used to play together sometimes. He liked to bark! Walter used to help Mom around the restaurant, she says he was very smart and could fix anything. Mom says everyone is going to miss Walter very, very much. I know I will.
