@mikemccormac9368 Thank you for the well wishes and birthday wishes, much appreciated. A belated Happy birthday to you too. People used to, and sometimes still do, that havibg a birthday at Christmas must be awful as everything is combined. Not at all, I love it. All the festive sparkle, good food, drink and company. I feel for those who don't have a birthday around Christmas as they don't get to have all the wonderful decorations that we do. I heard there was a nasty lurgie doing the rounds in the UK, glad you got over yours quickly. As for ne, the cold air isn't that cold, well not for us, at minus 9 or ten, that is relatively warm. Minus 35 to 40, now that's cold and I wouldn't be venturing out in that. I think later this week we are due some minus 18 to 25 for a few days, then it gets warmer again. I'm hopefully turning a corner with this thing, I've had pneumonia several times over the last 15 years, and I can tell when I'm coming out of it. Luckily, living where we do, I don't come into contact with a lot of people, so don't have to fight off their bugs too. I shall be raising a glass, or two, of Ardbeg tomorrow at midnight to see in the New Year, as I'm sure you will too. I've nit been to the Highlands for many years, my family are all situated around Greenock, Port Glasgow, Glasgow and Edinburgh, i think the highest my Grannie ever got was to the top of her tenement building lol. Have a Happy Hogmanay.

@shalacarter6658 we love having the chickens, my grandparents had some when I was vety young and I've wanted them ever since. I love our girls, they are so funny.

@@parsleyhillspaniels393 The girls are just darling. So pretty. Why don't you have a rooster?

@shalacarter6658 we only want eggs, no meat birds, and roisters mean pot luck when ut comes to chicken sexes.

@@parsleyhillspaniels393 Are you vegetarians?

@shalacarter6658 my husband us, has been all husband life, he us allergic to meat and fish, as is our daughter and grandchildren. I'm not though lol

@shalacarter6658 thank you for the birthday wishes. I spoilt myself and bought some new saucepans, lol. I then retreated back home and curled up on the bed. I know how to live it up lol. My lot got the things on my list for me and a few that weren't. I love them all. I woukd suggest that along with the new dessses you go and buy the cake from the next town, you deserve it. Congratulations to your football team on winning the bowl.

@@parsleyhillspaniels393 Great presents! We recently had the bottom of a skillet fall off while J2 was scrambling eggs. Thankfully, it was a two-layered skillet. You deserve new saucepans! We bought ours in '97 with money from Grandma T for our wedding. :) Please sleep more!!!!!!!!!! I am worried about you out there traipsing around in the woods with Pneumonia! Thanks ! Our team has not been to a bowl game in 9 years. :( blessings!

@shalacarter6658 don't worry about me, I'm made of tough stuff, I will be fine, I won't let this beat me.

@@parsleyhillspaniels393 I agree with that! :)

@@chiefhachiko1935 so glad you are safe. I saw the tornado warnings yesterday and severe thunderstorm warnings.Thank you, and I will be fine.

@@shalacarter6658 thank you

@SheenaHorsham thank you and happy birthday to your daughter.

@ thank you so much ❤️

@robinhendricks1603 thank you. She is currently working her way through vandalising any raggie she can find. No raggie is safe! Lol

@parsleyhillspaniels393 they know how to celebrate!

@chiefhachiko1935 i shall pass on your birthday wishes to Lucy, right now she is tearing a raggie apart lol

@chiefhachiko1935 it hurts so much when our fur babies have to leave us, but as long as we remember them, they will always be with us and in our hearts.

@parsleyhillspaniels393 Lucy was my best friend to. She was related to the famous Akita dog Hachiko from Japan. She was the tenth generation of hachikos sibling brother.

@chiefhachiko1935 our Teddies are our best friends too. They do not judge us and their love is truly unconditional.

@parsleyhillspaniels393 I lived my fur baby Lucy very much.

@chiefhachiko1935 you can't help, but love them. Beautiful souls

@@Warjacki thank you, I did not know that. Such a shame to lose such beautiful souls

@chiefhachiko1935 thank you for visiting, our spaniels love having company. We will always remember our fur babies and everyone's fur babies, all are special

@parsleyhillspaniels393 I emailed you the name of the owners of Chief Gurley

@robinhendricks1603 thank you, we will be out again tomorrow for the Sunday Saunter to remember our fur babies abd Sherpa and we will be out on Chrustmas Eve too, as a little special because everyone knows tgat the animals can talk on Christmas Eve and be understood by all - plus I'm sure the Teddies will be badgering Santa Paws for some last minute presents lol

@parsleyhillspaniels393 I will be looking forward to seeing you

@chiefhachiko1935 Merry Christmas to you too Jason. I saw that you would be having some cold temperatures down there, stay safe and warm. All our fur and feathered friends are our family, and we treat them as much.

@parsleyhillspaniels393 ty stay safe and stay warm to

@Warjacki thank you for visiting. We do a Sunday Saunter every Sunday for Sherpa and we also remember the community's fur babies that have passed this year and previously, as all fur babies are precious. Our Edward used to talk back to Sherpa when we watch the videos, and would get frustrated when Sherpa didn't answer him. Edward would fet closer and closer to the screen as if to say " look I'm here, I'm talking to you, why can't you see me?", it was funny to watch. We hope you will come and visit with us again. Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year.

@mikemccormac9368 we have been regularly feeding the deer for over ten years now. We buy them oats, my husband has made them mangers and feeding tube's, and for three months, we help give them a little extra to keep going. We have even had them come up on the back deck and stamp at me through the patio door because I have been late putting the food out, lol. Unfortunately, we have seen the deer population decline over the years. We have gone from having 26 or so at a time to now only 2s,3s and 4s. Deer out here aren't in herds like they are in the UK, but do cut around together at times for safety from coyotes. Where we used to live in Devon, we would often see herds up on Exmoor. Beautiful.

@robinhendricks1603 yes it is. We but a tonne of them at a time, thankfully they have come down in price. When we first started feeding them it cost $156 Canadian a tonne, that was ten years ago. Two years ago it was over $700 a tonne, this year it is down to $450 a tonne. We only feed them for three months while the weather is bad.

@chiefhachiko1935 As long as it gives them a little extra in this cold weather, all is good. There's plenty of hay in farmers fields, so they are not starving this winter. Merry Christmas

@lwilliams781 the firsts are always the hardest, the first day, week, month, holiday, birthday, Christmas and you are in our thoughts as is Jamie. X

@lwilliams781 they do, especially here where we are normally around the minus 14 Celsius for day time highs in the winter.

@lwilliams781 we have plenty of it and it's hanging around for a little while so I'm sure she will be having a ball in it. Edward, our youngest springer, and Adelaide, his eldest sister, love to roll around and have snow baths lol

@lwilliams781 when i read the community page, I am gobsmacked at how many members have list fur babies this year, young and old. I started doing the Sunday Saunters for Sherpa as a way of letting Jamie know he could still walk with Sherpa, but somewhere new that wouldn't bring back sad memories - I hope that makes sense. We walk our Teddies every day, sometimes shorter walks than others due to the cold temperatures and I film a couple of them a week and upload them here so our family and friends back in the UK can see where we live and watch the changes through the seasons. Sundays though are a must, and now it is a regular Saunter to remember all our fur babies whether they passed this year or thirty years ago. They are all precious and will be forever in our hearts.

@@SheenaHorsham they are very welcome here, anytime as are you.

@ bless you thank you ❤️

I'm pretty sure Grissom and Jack were helping Gladys with keeping an eye on the rough grouse in the trees.😊 Your boys are welcome here as much as they want. Plenty of woods and lawns and trails to explore.

A very Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year too

@chiefhachiko1935 what a lively way to end the year and a beautiful way to remember Sherpa, Phil and Rupert. Merry Christmas Jason, hope you and yours have a wonderful time

@parsleyhillspaniels393 Rupert was a malamute from the United Kingdom just like Sherpa and Phil. My dog rescue center is in Tennessee and I am having it named The Lord Sherpa rescue center. I lost my fur baby Lucy last November at the age of 11 she was a Akita dog.

@chiefhachiko1935 such a shame to lose a fur baby at anytime. I'm sure your rescue centre will be a much needed and welcome resource to your community.

@parsleyhillspaniels393 yes it will. This way Sherpa's memories alive on with my rescue center. Give the spaniels a hug from me. Your videos mean a lot to me. I miss my fur baby Lucy so much. Here are some of fur babies we should remember also. Chief Gurley from Life with Labradors in Arizona. And my fur baby Lucy from Tennessee.

@@chiefhachiko1935 all names added for our Sunday Saunters

@@robinhendricks1603 Thank you for coming along with us. We hope you will join us again.

@parsleyhillspaniels393 I will!

@mikemccormac9368 Thank you. You're are quite right, the Teddies are of no help whatsoever when it comes to decorating, cooking, DIY,gardening or filling the containers with food for the wildlife lol It's actually warmed up here and we have day time highs of minus 4, so bikini and BBQ weather 😅

@lwilliams781 it's peaceful until one of the Teddies finds something to bark at, then the peace is shattered, nine times out of ten it will be a frozen snow covered leaf that has offered them and that's what they are barking at lol

It is until the Teddies find something to bark at then the peace is shattered. Nine times out of ten it will be a frozen snow covered leaf that has annoyed them and must be barked at lol

@parsleyhillspaniels393 🤣🤣🤣xxx

@chiefhachiko1935 Merry Christmas to you too Jason. I'm sure Sherpa would have loved it here with my lot, and, I think Jamie would too as there are loads of places to explore and have adventures, maybe one day he will make it across and can use our place as a base.

@chiefhachiko1935 p.S , Teddies always make people fell better no matter what they are going through. I think it is their innocence, love of adventure and fun and their total unconditional love for us.

@chiefhachiko1935 I'm just about to sit down and watch it, i was going to do that 30 minutes ago, however, the spaniel gang had rearranged the baubbles on the tree i put up outside. I've just spent that time looking for the ones they stole off the tree. They definitely keep me on my toes lol.

Thank you. We try every year to make our tree and decs special, each one is a memory of where we've been, family and fur kids and we put them up as early as we can so we can enjoy them for longer..

@parsleyhillspaniels393 that's lovely and you're welcome 😊

@shalacarter6658 hi, I'm surprised you haven't seen any where you are. Whilst they like to have some trees around, they do quite well on tundra too. We have a male rough grouse, actually we have a few, but this one, bless him, he tries so hard showing off his display, strutting all over , up and down, saying look at me, but this female us more interested in food. I'm beginning to think that the bird food we have must be like our equivalent of chocolate us, give us chocolate over anything lol.

@@parsleyhillspaniels393 Our area is not tundra. It originally was Mid-to-Tall Grass Prairie. We have Sharp Tail Grouse which are similar to Prairie Chickens. Prairie Chickens get together on leks in the Spring to breed. I understand it is really neat. I've seen plenty of photos and videos. You can rent a blind and go out to watch them. The Dakotas and Minnesota would probably be a better place to find Rough Grouse. I think I saw one when I was on vacation in MN one year. We were out on country roads looking around, mostly for Snowy Owls. There was a grouse just sitting in a shrub on the side of the road. We stopped to look at it and it could not have been less interested. In Wyoming I saw a Sage Hen. They are huge! And also I hear they taste great. They taste like sage. We also have Bobwhites which are an adorable little quail that calls it's own name. It is one of the first calls I learned when I was little. They used to be quite common; but with urban sprawl, it's harder to find them. The guys did not see any while out bird hunting. hmmmmmmmm chocolate! xx

@chiefhachiko1935 yes Sherpa did love his snow as all malamute and Huskys do, I don't think he'd particularly like the temperatures that we get here though, as being a UK teddie and acclimated to UK cold temps of at the worst, minus 7, he may not do the minus 20s for day time highs. Better to keep him safe and warm.

Hope you are keeping well Jason.

@@parsleyhillspaniels393 You've probably seen photos of sled dogs all curled up outside in the snow.

@shalacarter6658 yes, but thise are bred specificalthator that and live in that environment, those that are born not in the chillier crimes would be OK, but would struggle with the severe cold temperatures, unless they had been aclimatised to them. It's like taking a German Shepherd dog and expecting the dog to be able to stay outside over night for twelve hours guarding the sheep herds, unless the dog comes from that environment, it would struggle to do so, as now, for the most part, they are bred as pets,, household members, like most of the dogs these day, unless you went to a specialist breeder within that environment, you wouldn't get the working dog that you think you are getting. We have friends in Bavaria, who have Malamutes and use them as working dogs within the Alps. Their Alpha dog, hates bring outside when not working, and refuses to leave the lodge, regardless of the weather, but in oarticular when the snow is in and it is winter, unless you are harnessing him up to go sledding, then he will leave the lodge. He much prefers the fire lol

@@parsleyhillspaniels393 When I was growing up on the farm, the dogs were always outside. They had a great dog house that my cousin built in Shop class. It had a roof that opened up for easier cleaning. Our dogs would be in there with cats all curled up. Cats would also sleep in the granary in the straw bales and have kittens in there. I always tell ppl who make outdoor cat houses to use straw and not blankets. Blankets can get wet and freeze. I do love it when ppl make houses for outdoor cats. The other thing ppl do not consider is that dog houses should not be huge because they need to keep the heat in. I am with that Alpha dog! I'd stay inside, too. I would love to go to Bavaria. Weird that they have a different name for it. I read a series that was set in Bavaria during the 200 Year's War. It's about an executioner and his family. I think it's called The Executioner's Daughter. Thought we might have some rain and that it would freeze starting this afternoon. Hope we get the rain, but not the ice. We are going to the Christmas Dance Recital for two of our granddaughters tomorrow afternoon. Last night we went to Orchestra and then out to dinner at a Chinese place.

@@chiefhachiko1935 a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too. It will be a very different Christmas for Jamie, but he has all his family and all of us for support and understanding.

@chiefhachiko1935 thank you. We love sharing our spaniels with you and it is lively to be able to dedicate a day walk to Sherpa, and for all the other fur babies lost this year, it is going to be do hard for many at Christmas. We hope we can bring a little smile and warmth to everyone. Thank you for plimenting the tree, it took ages. Every time I put an ornament on, Adelaide inspected it and Edward tried to knck it off with his tail. Swiss then thinks that he can fit under tree, and then gets stuck and ornaments come off and we start again. I keep telling them that Santa Paws won't bring them anything if they keep doing that lol.

@parsleyhillspaniels393 This was the year of the passing of Lord Sherpa and and Phil the Malamute

@chiefhachiko1935 a hard year and at this time of year, a hard time too. We like to take comfort in knowing that we had the honour of sharing our teddies lives, past and present, and even if they are no longer with us in body, they have forever filled our hearts.

@chiefhachiko1935 thank you. I thought about picking up an ornament that resembled him, but then I decided against it, and instead picked up an angel which is now hanging on the tree in memory of all the special teddies.

@rumorhasit9506 thank you, we keep saying that it would be good to come back as one of our spaniels lol

@@Maltipoo_Maltese_Cute_Moments Thank you, we hope you will join our spaniel gang again soon for another walk

Thank you, we enjoy sharing are crazy, fun loving spaniels with you. It would be lovely if Sherpa could come and play in the snow with them.

@chiefhachiko1935 we had our Thanksgiving in October, USA has theirs in Novembrr, here in Canada it is in October. Christmas will be very different for Jamie, but he will have his family around him to help. Our day is good today, the Teddies are enjoying going out in the snow and investigating the boxes with the Christmas decorations in. Hope you are having a good day and that Christmas will be a fantastic time for you.
