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 ever 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.
