Update

 Hello friends. This is The Daily Bone and I'm your doggie reporter Chester L. W. Spaniel. 


If you read our last post, you know my ghostwriter made a dire report on my health. I'm happy to say that I'm starting to feel better now. In fact today I did a photo shoot in the back yard, looked up and looked down to find some amazing things, and even went for a short walk. I am now ready for a new post!


Last Friday there was a big snow storm in WNY. We were lucky to be spared the multiple feet of snow that got dumped on Buffalo and areas south of us. Here's a picture of our snow that day.


I bring to your attention that there were four, count 'em FOUR, crummy rotten squirrels out there! One of them even tried to break into our squirrel-proof feeder without success. 


Today the snow is almost all gone from our yard. The sun was shining most of the day too! 


On the ground we found some beautiful red hawthorn berries among the dry leaves.



The past few nights there have been bunnies in my yard. They usually come by around 8 or 9pm. Here's a not so good picture of me confronting two of those bunnies:


Usually when we turn on the light and open the back door, they freeze into position. They don't run away until I get about five or six feet of them. Last night there was one of them practically knocking at the back door! If we manage to get some better pictures of them, we'll be sure to post them. 

And that's my report for today! Time for a nap. 


Dreaming about my bunny hunting days:












Note from ghostwriter: Chester has been doing a little better the past couple days. The vet discontinued his Cushing's syndrome medication, and started him on an antibiotic. He's finally starting to get his appetite back. He's even started eating a little of his regular kibble which he hasn't touched in many weeks. Today he had some grilled chicken. We'll continue to keep a close watch on him spoil him, and post any changes.


Hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving!
