Good evening friends! 

Here I am, being cute:

I like to get all cozy right before Judes leaves for work, just to make her jealous. It works. But look how kind she is, making the bed just for me. She's a decent human. 

And here I am heading into the great wild beyonds:

Just kidding. We were on our usual neighborhood stroll. Finally it stopped blowing all the time, and it was warm enough for a walk. It should be 4 degrees in a few nights though. Is that cold? I've got a fur coat.

That reminds me. I have made a list for the Thanksgiving holiday. I, Sir Rockingham the Really Awesome, am thankful for the following:

- fur coat
- carrots
- dinner
- breakfast
- carrots
- cozy apartment
- snuggling
- strolling
- new adventures
- bark park
- new friends (furry and otherwise)
- carrots
- my winter wardrobe
- my light-up leash
- oven cooking smells
- the windswept look
- sunshine
- being cute
- carrots
- bunny rabbits
- Judes

Happy holidays all!

Dear readers, 

I do hope you are all healthy, warm, and wealthy. This weekend brought an apple surprise:

Many thanks to those on the east coast for sending these from the west coast to the no-coast. However, Judes won't share. The apartment sure was smelling good this weekend, though. Judes heated up some Rosh Hashanah soup, just in time for Thanksgiving. I don't know why she didn't just keep it a few more weeks for Chanukah. 

With all the food, we took a break to work on the side table. Yes, that is the same table Judes has been working on since August. Great observation skills, reader! I didn't want to embarrass her with my canine abilities, otherwise I would have taken over long ago. 

And guess what dear reader - she finished it!And now look at our lovely little home. Blow-up couch is fabulous, by the way. Yeah, I told Judes we need something for our walls. Just because everything out here is lots of nothing space doesn't mean we have to go along with that theme. Suggestions for wall decor, friends?

And then Judes decided she needed to use up some ingredients before going on vacation (I assume I'm going along?!) so she literally grabbed everything in the kitchen, stirred it up, and popped it in the oven. What.A.Weirdo.

And that's what appeared. Pumpkin peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal honey brown sugar  applesauce bread fun awesomeness. Again, Judes didn't let me sample. But look closely - someone had a sample or two. Judes told me her trip to the grocery store was neat. She got to see cars coming in and out of parking spaces like they were engaging in a synchronized swimming routine. 

And let me guess what you're having for dinner Judes. Squash?

Good evening, dear readers!

Judes has been having fun trying new varieties of squash. This here is carnival squash. 

And then today the store had a large bin full of more new and exciting squash. So Judes got...a few. 

Here is the smallest one, kabocha. Did you know that in some cultures, it is an aphrodisiac? Well, you do now!

Judes' friend told her she might want to consider growing a particularly large squash and living inside of it. Brilliant idea, I say. She could call that chapter in her memoir: "Judes and the Supreme Squash." 

Today was breezy. No, just kidding, it was WINDY. There was even a wind advisory. Judes told me the power went out at work for a bit. Luckily, it is back on now, because otherwise it would be quite chilly! I think I saw part of a fence fall down from the wind as well. What a silly little town in the middle of nowhere. Thank goodness for new squash; I don't know how Judes and I would cope otherwise. 

Good evening dear readers! 

Judes hinted she might get me a selfie stick for Chanukah, but so far I've been without. That's why I'm not in the photos here. Blame Judes. 

Anyway, I thought you might enjoy # 17 of our food processor manual:

I found these socks in Judes' drawer. She claims she doesn't know where they came from. We both think they're fantastic. 

Judes and I took a long stroll in the park today. Yes, I did almost freeze on the car ride over, thank you for asking. And Judes did have to snuggle me into her ginormous winter coat so that I would stop shivering. But as soon as we started trotting along, the 19 degree weather really didn't bother me. Still, maybe next time Judes will remember my sweater. I also met a new doggy friend. 

After our walk, Judes took a little day trip to Utah. Here's what she found:

And, inside of that fantabulous place:

That's right. There was no marjoram in Wyoming. Funny, the spice company where it comes from appears to be way back in Maryland. What a splendidly connected world we all live in. 

Judes told me she also treated herself to a peppermint mocha frappuccino. It was quite tasty, and she had a splendid time singing along to the radio all the way home. Caffeine sounds interesting. I think I'll ask Judes to get me some of that for Chanukah as well. 

Happy weekend dear friends! 

Hello folks!

Here I am investigating the white stuff. 

Judes and I took a lovely stroll today by the mountains. 

There were more mountains and more snow a little ways away.

At home we snuggled. And were super cute. At least, I was super cute. Judes was just Judes. 

I'm pretty excited about the carrots. We seem to be buying them nearly every day. And by we I mean Judes. 

 Licking my lips. Yum!

Judes tried to tell me my shirt says "Sir Rockingham, king of the universe." She thinks I can't read it just because it's on my back. She clearly knows nothing of my powers. Also, I know for a fact she did not get it for me because it came in the mail. So to the anonymous friend sending me warm clothes and love, THANK YOU! 

Happy weekend friends!!

The ground appears to be a new color today. Just thought I'd share. Good thing someone sent Judes some gloves recently!

So today was windy. Here's a tumble-tree that blew outside our window. It didn't live there before. 

And look! I'm now official!

Here's a self portrait. What do you think?

Unrelated, Judes bought herself a vacuum for her birthday.

Happy Tuesday friends!

Big news! There are now doggie bags and containers on our side of the complex!

I would also like to take this opportunity to distinguish between the terms "breezy" and "windy." According to NOAA's website, "breezy" indicates around 30 mph winds. "Windy" is more appropriate for those in the 50 mph range. Judes says she may keep me inside tomorrow, as it will be "windy."

Happy Monday folks - isn't great there's always only one Monday each week? I thought so too!
