Thank you all for the nice welcome home....we are having a joyous...yep, that's the only word for it, reunion with Cooper. He's played with almost all of his toys, had a pigs ear, rolled on our bed and made us laugh out loud. He seems great (that little hussie Holly wasn't at camp!) so he isn't exhausted this time. And I don't believe that his brief fling with Jack was a romantic thing...

Both he and I like the back yard alot better covered with pretty snow...sure, I know in my heart that underneath it all are piles of dirt with the promise of mud until Aug.

And as soon as I put the suet out....here came the big woodpecker!

Did I mention that there are lots of blue birds in S.C.....on a certain fence...
