Shadow Monday -- New Year's Day (whoopee), but then so much more.

On January First Shadow ambled out on the porch.

Looked around, didn't see much and came back inside.

She lay down on the bed.

Next day snow arrived. Shadow has loved snow since well, forever.

The second day of 2026 found her outside. In the snowfall.

She likes to lower her head and scoop it up, swallowing snow-lumps.


After dinner she approached dad at the computer.

Getting her subtle hint, he moved to the living room. Shadow followed.

She was teased thoroughly,

then forgot the Bunny and rolled over,

and over,

and over.

Then got up.


And rolled over again.

After which she headed for the bedroom, allowing Bunny to sit for a photo,

or two.

Later that evening Shadow was seen back on our bed.

She ended up January Second snug as a bug in a dog-bed rug.

Another great set of photos and captions! I think Shadow likes to pose because she knows she's so photogenic. She just doesn't take a bad picture! Pretty girl.

On Saturday, as I was coming home from running errands, I saw a woman walking her dog (possibly a golden retriever but I wouldn't swear to it). The dog had a big ball in his mouth and I immediately thought of Shadow and her jolly ball!

Thanks for the photos, George. They're always a treat.
