Morning Tea with Labs

I am a woman of refined taste and only drink special teas that I must cool off the boiling water with an ice cube before adding to the tea itself. The process is a bit more involved then dropping a tea bag in a mug but who can blame me when the tea is awesome and the company while making the tea is never short of bringing a smile to my face.

No, I haven't gone off the deep end my friends. The smile that I enjoy every morning is on behalf of my wonderful Cheyenne. You see, when I go into the freezer and she hears me take out an ice cube, she runs to my side and gives me a huge Labrador smile. If you remember from earlier posts, she has a fascination with ice and loves to chew/eat ice.

It doesn't matter if the ice chunk is over 20lbs or a tiny ice cube; Cheyenne will enjoy it just the same. So, when I put my hand in to do my own retrieving, there is Cheyenne by my side waiting for her own ice cube. Of course, I oblige and off she trots to the indoor/outdoor mat (where they eat most of their messy treats) to give it a good chomping.

Within seconds, the ice cube has vanished and so has Cheyenne... back to lay next to her sister Dakota in their morning sun spots.

That is what life is all about. Two of the finest things in life; awesome tea and an awesome dog that always makes me smile.


PS - Thank you to all those that sent well wishes during my time with the flu. It seems that they worked as I am starting to feel much better. Again, much thanks!
