Katie here! Hey! Whatcha all doing these days? Me, I’m pretty much sleeping and stuff. I had my annual wellness check a week ago, and I have apparently put on the “Covid 2 pounds” so mama says I need to get more excercise.
Silly mama. Doesn’t she know I have people for that?
Anyway, today I was minding my own business, getting my pre-nap nap in, sleeping right next to a nice cool door when suddenly I knew something wasn’t right!
I checked out my windows and there were people in my yard! Yes there were! Two people and they were right up close to my house and everything! So of course I had to sound the sheltie-alarm, which worked just fine.
I was a little worried about whether or not it would work, cause I haven’t used my sheltie-alarm voice in quite awhile. Everything being all quiet around here and stuff.
But it worked fine cause mama came right over to me. She checked outside and tried to reassure me that it was just daddy and some tree guy. But I wasn’t having any of it and kept the alarm sounding. I am a very responsible sheltie, even though I am in semi-retirement.
Daddy came in finally and said the guy and his team were going to be trimming trees right outside my window and mama sighed and said maybe she and I would go on an adventure. Even though she was busy painting pretty things and all.
So she hurried up and packed my adventure bag (treats, water, poop bags, you know, the essentials) and the next thing I know she’s putting stuff in the car and I’m not sure if I’m invited, so I follow her right down the steps into the garage.

Mama was taking a picture of something not me when she noticed I was posing for her in the pretty brown grass.
Mama laughed and put me in my car so I knew I got to go. I was all wiggle butt. And I was even more excited when I got to get out of the car in a few minutes and we were at my park! Last time I got to go somewhere I ended up at the vet. I was not so wiggle butt there, I can tell you that!
The only thing that didn’t go exactly right on our adventure is mama didn’t check the weather. We got sleeted on. Mama said hurry up baby, because we were at the very back of the park…but as you know a princess does not ‘hurry up.’
So we got wet.
But that’s OK, I had a wonderful time sniffing stuff. I just love going to the park when it’s cold. I prance my little hiney all around and I never want to get back in the car.
Well. This time I did because, did I mention, sleet?
So that was my adventure for today. I knew you’d all want to hear about it cause you are my super fans! I’d post on Instagram but I don’t know how. Plus I really don’t need a gazillion fans to know I’m already a princess.
Don’t you know.
Signing off for my pre-bedtime nap,
Your gal Katie.

We only went on a short walk today, but the sun was out. It was nice if you were facing the sun but a little nippy otherwise. We didn’t get wet in our walk.

She thinks that would be just perfect, though she rarely (as in never) wears sweaters. She says they are so old school.

Shelties and snow just GO together, don’t they? Princess Katie, you look stunning in all that scenery, and I’m glad you were able to coax your mama outside to enjoy it. Best of all, Shelties don’t have that wet dog smell, so even getting sleeted on is only miserable because of the wet!

Ah, Katie, you are such a fun-loving little Princess!! I agree that you need your picture with snow on your nose on your Wall of Fame, girl!! You need to get your Mama on that pronto. Hmmm, it’s awesome that you don’t get the wet doggie smell when you get wet. Doxies certainly do. 😀 So fun to get a post from you. Enjoy your pre-nap, sweet girl.
