Saturday Slight

 




Washed clean.  

This cone was covered with snow a couple of days ago. 






Where's the ball, Bridie? 

Your Border Collie eye seems to be looking the wrong way. 


We've got wetness.

No atmospheric river this morning but definitely pitter patter on the roof and water over snow outside.

I also slid a few times.  

Yesterday while working with my horses over at Roxane's, I decided to remove my Yak Trax.  Putting them back on this morning was difficult enough that I gave up and just left my boots bare. 

So, the overnight rain on snow and ice has created some slippery spots out there, and I've found a few of them.  

I've been dreading this weather change because it means we're back to towel time with the doggies. 

I have a feeling towel time will be a regular item on the daily schedule for quite some time as we make our way toward spring. 

All that said, when Bridie and I took our walk through the hay field and the woods this morning, I was pleasantly surprised how easy going it was.  

Plus, the balmy temps to go along with the light rain made for a nice experience.

In other news, Bill just learned that the ZAGS women's game is at 12 noon today instead of the usual 2 p.m. Saturday games. 

Seems the ZAGS are hosting both men's and women's teams today. 

I've opted to stay home and take in some of the television college basketball action.  

Willie ended his 2024-25 coaching season yesterday in Boise.  The team lost to Jerome and later boarded the bus to come home. 


I'm sure all the players and coaches are now tucked away in their beds and getting some extra sleep on this Saturday morning.

As the mother of their coach and as an overall avid basketball fan, I want them to know how proud we all are of them as individuals and of what they accomplished in this rebuilding season.  

It was up and down at times, but what made me the most proud after every game was the praise that Willie always expressed toward them----didn't matter whether it was a win or a loss. 

In addition, these young ladies made us proud through their contributions to the community. 

In these troubling days, it's inspiring to see the humanity along with the wins and losses. 

So, Bulldogs, keep standing tall and proud and remember the wonderful memories and achievements of this season. 

May those good times and life lessons stay with you the rest of your lives. 

And, of course, for those not graduating there's next year!  

GO, BULLDOGS!!


 











ZAGS GAME DAY

It's Senior Night at the Kennel, and, several seniors will be honored. 

Then, the barn burner will begin, as the ZAGS seek some redemption from their earlier season loss to the  Saint Mary's Gaels and, of course, another win.

Game time:  5 p.m. PST

Telecast on ESPN2.

GO, ZAGS!!!
