All kinds of things have been happening in the neighborhood. Roger from next door injured both his shoulders and cannot do any more snow shoveling this season. So mom has been busy because it has been snowing all weekend. We shoveled Roger’s driveway, Randy’s driveway, and Maggie’s driveway. Maggie’s husband Phil is in the hospital! He has to have surgery on his heart tomorrow!

And today there were moose in the neighborhood!  One moose calf actually came down off the hill and trotted down the street!!!  This photo is looking out our window!

The mother moose is called a cow. She has an injured front leg!  She was holding it up and dragging it in the snow!  Oh no!  Mom and Joni talked on the phone and mom sent an email to our regional office of the state department of wildlife to let them know about it.  Then someone was walking their dog without a leash and the dog was bothering the cow moose and she had to try to run on three legs.  Mom yelled at the lady (the lady and her dog were far away that’s why she had to yell) to secure her dog and she did.  But I was sad after that. Worrying about the moose.  Mom says she is moving around pretty good and is eating so it may turn out ok.

Later we went for a walk in the woods. 

Here is the problem they are knocking down part of the forest to build more houses! And the wild animals like the moose don’t have as much wilderness anymore.

Oh Boy this weekend we went snowboarding at Silver Mountain!!  And this time I did not have to wait in the car mom brought me with her!!!  When we got in the gondola to ride up the mountain they gave us WARM CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES OMG!

Here I am at the top of the mountain there was a super view!   And it was a super sunny day. At first. Later it hailed and snowed! 

Here is the Mountain House where they have yummy things to eat or you can bring your own snacks (that’s what we did).

Also  this weekend we went for a hike int he woods near our house and saw lots of animal tracks like this one. I do not think a tiger made this print.

We went to a new library too!  They had lots of fun things for a tiger to do.

On Saturday we went snowboarding at Mt. Spokane!  Well…mom went snowboarding while she left me in the car!!!  She was going to come get me after a while but the road to where the car was parked was very icy so she decided to just LEAVE me there. When she finally came back she brought me a pin for my bandanna!!!!  It says Mt. Spokane!  Also mom made me a new bandana it is a Hello Kitty bandana!  Yayyyyy!

Then on Sunday we went hiking at the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge! 

It was a beautiful day and we saw lots of animal tracks and scat but we did not see very much wildlife.  Some cross country skiers told us they saw some swans but we didn’t.

Mom let me use the camera!  Here is a picture of some frozen water.

Also last week we had lunch at Smacky’s with Margo! I love Margo she lets me help drive.

Oh Boy !  It snowed a ton over the last 30 hours we were snowed in at home!  Good thing it was Saturday!   Mom we spent HOURS shoveling snow. Then our awesome neighbor Roger who was away overnight  drove up and parked in Andrew’s driveway because it was cleared. Mom was very happy to see Roger. Roger got out his snowblower and helped mom us finish up our driveway, then they both went and finished clearing Randy’s property. Randy is in a wheelchair and earlier another neighbor got some of Randy’s driveway done but then it snowed some more. Then Phil and Maggie came out to start on their property and we had a good visit with Maggie she brought mom some good books to read. There was no sign of Gary so Jim snow blowed Gary’s driveway and sidewalk and mom we did part of the sidewalk there too. Then Gary showed up turns out he started on his back deck first. Also Jen’s dog Mo got out and ran up the street!  He was having a great time! He went into Jim’s garage and invited himself in to visit Jim’s dog. Ha ha that was funny. Shannon and his kids were out shoveling snow and he and mom had a long discussion about the state of the world.

Here is a pile of snow in front of our house.

OMG!!!  We made a SNOW TIGER !!!!!!

Here I am with a closeup of the tail you can see we added special touches like tiger STRIPES. It was the best snow day ever! I hope it snows more tomorrow.
