A dog’s work is never done. As the alpha male in this family, it’s important that I take care of my humans, my brother, Friday, and my cats. This little one, Mimi, didn’t make my job easy. She was semi-feral when I decided Jerry and The Berry should take her in …. and let’s just I wasn’t her favourite for awhile.

But, at last, Mimi and I know enjoy our cuddle time just as much as anyone else. She will often jump up and join me for my afternoon siestas. As you can see, we don’t get too close, but we take comfort knowing the other is there. And that’s one cat nap I can get behind!

And remember, if your pets like snoozing with a view, our Whiteway cottages are open all winter long, and pets are welcome. Mimi and I could use another cuddle buddy!

This is what Sundays should look like, no? No matter what’s going on in the world or our personal lives, we can always count on some Sunday morning cuddles – and that’s a very good thing! We hope your morning was equally lovely! (And remember, pets are welcome at our Whiteway cottages, which are open all winter long!)

Thanks, Stephen, for sharing some fun photos – and some fun summer memories – for the blog. Here’s Mel (the goat), Monty our radical changer Newfoundland pony, and our big girl in the upper left, Ginger. She’s the Belgian who joined our family this summer.

Of course, the animals will be warming themselves in our barn all winter long. But I think they’ll miss all the visits from guests – they love to put on a show! So we’ll be making sure they get lots of extra attention as the days grow colder.

Mornings like this one I captured a few days ago are pretty unbelievable. Even the ponies seemed awed by the beauty of freshly fallen snow. I had to get my camera to share – as the magic, miracles and marvelous was all around me.

 Clean, crisp air, snowball snow blanketing everything, no wind, the sun rising, the animals awakening, the quiet of the morning.  A blessing indeed, but a bigger one was having the senses to receive it and the sense to appreciate it.

Yes, The Doctor’s House will be closed over the winter – but that doesn’t mean it will be any less beautiful. We’re still young, and figuring out our best plan going forward. Remember that our gift certificates are available right up until December 23, and you’ll be able to use them as soon as we open in early Spring. Which will be here before you know it!
