Good morning everyone! I hope you’re all having a great Sunday morning. I’m relaxing with a cup of coffee and some toast with the Budster on my shoulder looking out his favorite window. You certainly don’t want to be messing with his morning routine- lol. I tried that this morning and he wasn’t happy with me as you’ll see by the pictures I took. I’ll have to start carrying my camera throughout the day and maybe I can get him doing something other than glaring at me. Anyhow, here is your Buddy fix for the day. I know you can’t see his eyes too well – his hair is too long but that’ll be fixed today…
Not much happening this weekend. I didn’t feel well so I was just laying low. I finished Pretties yesterday so now I have two reviews I need to write. I struggled and struggled not to start the next one, Specials, but I lost. I opened it and started reading. It’s definitely an addictive series and I have to say I’ve found myself yet another new author that I’ll keep reading.
Now I’m reading Alice I Have Been for my tour date next week. I really am liking this book and it’s been hard to put it down. I’m also reading Roses which is another really good one and Talking to the Dead which is also good. So lucky me I have all good books that are calling to me and it is impossible to be able to read all three at the same time. I’m struggling with which one I’m going to pop open this afternoon. I have the feeling Alice I Have Been will win out today.
Our weather is fantastic. It’s been unseasonably warm here and our snow is melting down some. I keep hoping this will last until spring but that is very likely wishful thinking as I’m sure we’ll get more snow and cold yet. For now though I’m enjoying it immensely and so is Buddy on his walks.
Ok, I’m off to do some blog reading this morning. Then it’s time for the Budster to get a bit of a haircut. Yikes! He’s going to be even less pleased with me but he’s really hot with all that fur right now. I’m not cutting it short like in summer but enough to cool him down a bit. Then I hope to READ!
What do you all have planned for today? Did you do anything exciting this weekend?
Buddy is so adorable! Have fun with the haircut.
Everyone's lounging in my house today, which is fine by me. It's warmer than usual here, too, but unfortunately, it's raining so I can't go outside and enjoy it.

I can tell who's in charge at your house! Sorry you haven't been feeling well.
Our weather has finally warmed up some, but now it's raining. I'll take warm rain over freezing any day, though.
He's darn cute, even when glaring. Trust me. You haven't seen glaring until you've see a thirsty Devon Rex glare.
Feel better today. We're going to road trip and see the Wheeling Nailers! Whee!
What an adorable dog! Can't stay mad at him long.
Hope you'll visit my Sunday Salon
That doggy has such an expressive face! Our weather has been much warmer now, which is nice. That cold stuff was getting on my nerves. We just got back from church and are now off to my son's football game.
Hope you start to feel better!
I hope you are feeling better soon. We are enjoying a mid January thaw as well. Looking forward to your review of Alice..I saw it at the library Thursday but did not pick it up, I may be sorry that I didn't.
Little shaggy Buddy indeed needs a cut. Hope you feel better.
Sunshine today and yesterday here in our area of the world in Central Texas finally and some warmer air, today is in the 50's and that feels better than the 20's and 30's. Sunday is spent goofing off and resting and going out for lunch with my Mom and Husband. On our way to the munchies shortly then back home to nap and read and watch the Television….

You have got me wanting to finish the Uglies series now! I still need to read Pretties, so I might order that from the library with my next big order.
Can't wait to see Buddy with his new haircut. He is just so darn cute.
I hope you feel brighter soon.
We've been having warmer weather as well…but I wouldn't mind it one bit if it snowed again 🙂 It sounds like you've got some good books going. I REALLY need to grab Pretties when I'm at the library next. Enjoy your week!
I've been visiting my parents this weekend and reading. Right now I'm reading 'Plainsong' by Kent Haruf. Ever heard of him? The book is good so far. And Buddy is so photogenic! You should enter him in pageants! Haha. Just kidding. 😉 I would love to get a puppy that is small like him and doesn't shed a lot. What breed is Buddy?
It's so cute to see the different expressions of Buddy in each picture. You could tell his emotions! Hope that you're feeling better and can enjoy some time with a book today. You have a great selection of books to read.
I have Uglies waiting for me to read and I'm looking forward to reading it.
I also went from Uglies to Pretties to Specials sort of immediately! But Specials disappointed me compared to the first two. Nevertheless, I couldn't have NOT read it. But I plan to skip Extras.
I like it when the animal of the house is treated like royalty –lucky Buddy!
Good to hear that you are enjoying Alice I Have Been –I did as well.
Have a great week Dar/
Haha that is funny that Buddy looks at you everytime you take a picture, Martina is just the opposite, she looks away. I have to make noises and call her name to get her to look at me while I click the picture.
It has been really warn here in NY too – 40's! My husband who is a snowmobiler is not happy! He does like the warn weather though, well can't have both.
Buddy is something else. I love his hostile looks!!! Not doing much here either…almost all of our snow is gone too, the laundry and chores are done and now I'm making some soup! Hope to get into the book I'm reading right now.
Happy Sunday Dar!!
LOL Buddy is so adorable. Riley is hard to catch on camera. As soon as I whip it out, he wants to come over and play. He can't sit still for long.
I hope you are feeling better, Dar. I am glad you are at least able to read. I've heard great things about that series.
I hope you have a great week. I have to work, but may need to take a day off to take Anya to see the specialist. She needs a bone marrow biopsy. Not looking forward to that. Poor kitty!
Love the Buddy pics! I'm such an animal lover.
Oh Dar, Buddy is such a cutie! I love the way he looks at the camera – he's looking at you I'd guess but the expression on his face in the photos is just wonderful. I'll swear he's about to open his mouth and say something! Cute paw print blanket, too. I can tell it belongs to Buddy =o)
You're reading some wonderful books! I love the cover of Roses, glad to hear it's good too.
I only recently realized Uglies (that is what you are talking about, right?!) is a series. I hope to read it some day.
Enjoy your warm weather! Such a lovely treat!
I hope you're feeling better.

Dar, My dog's name is Buddy as well and he's a blond poodle who also just had a hair cut, but it was a short one because we are in summer. Your Buddy is very cute!
Hope you got some reading done!
I have nothing exciting planned for this weekend. I just love your pup! Soooo cute!
Oh that was so nice of Buddy to tolerate having his picture taken. Well, not really tolerate so much put up with. At least you fed him first!
Buddy is such a handsome dawg! It is a treat to get to see him every sunday.
We went to church then visited with some folks we hadn't seen in awhile.
Stopped at the Maid-Rite for lunch and saw some folks there that we knew.
Got the loafing shed cleaned out and now it is very foggy outside. It is warmer tho!
Hope you have a great week!
I hope you're feeling better soon! As always, Buddy looks adorable!! Hope you've a great week, Dar, and stay warm! 🙂
Buddy looks so darling.
Dar you are reading some good books. I mean that is a lucky thing. I have heard great stuff about all those books.
Enjoy your weather.
Oh Buddy is the cutest! I am totally going to have to show his pics to my hubby!
I really need Buddy to get me up off my lazy butt and out for a walk!
He's got curly hair just like me, only mine is brown!
We escaped the mountains this weekend and I got to go to a real bookstore!
I know what you mean aobut having too many good books around!
Enjoy your week and hope you feel better!
Love the fur baby pics, as always 🙂 I got to play with a 7 week old Shih-Tzu yesterday. So snuggly and adorable. Made me think of Buddy!
Our snow is melting here too. Love to see that in January!
We're discussing the Uglies series over at withagoodbook.com. We'd love for you to stop by and share your thoughts! I couldn't put them down until I was finished all three either!
Buddy is soooo cute!!! We just got our Buddy's haircut so that he can now see, lol. I posted a pic of him in my weekly wrap-up post.
You are doing some great reading! I really like Alice I Have Been! Very hard to put down book. Can't wait to read your review!
I hope you are feeling better! Have a great week!
Buddy is too cute!!!
Happy reading 🙂
I've been lounging at home this 3 day weekend, mostly cooking, reading and cleaning.

Love those pics of Buddy. We lost a lot of snow due to melting. My dog Tessa was so happy to find one of the toys she likes to play fetch with. We lost it during our big snow storm. It got buried in the snow!
Hello Buddy! He is one very adorable goggie. 😀
I think Buddy does the angry look very well! I am really glad to hear that you are having such a great spate of good reading, and I'll be looking forward to your reviews!
Isn't buddy a cutie! Does he like getting his hair cut? I know Charlee hates being brushed…lol…nevermind hair cuts.
Sounds like you are having similar weather that we are…its nice and warm…though supposed to turn colder now.
Happy reading.
Oh Buddy is too darn cute!! He sure doesn't look like he's glaring! We have three dogs and my golden retriever doesn't like the camera at all but I still have to take photos. She does so many goofy things.
So sorry to hear you weren't feeling well. Hope your better now. Sounds like you have plenty of good books too. I've been meaning to start the Uglies series but haven't got there yet. They are on my list like so many other good books! Hope this weekend is even better for you!
Missed this last week (I'm way behind in my blog-hopping!) Buddy's looking really good. And I'm jealous that you're reading ALICE . . . I hope to read that soon.
Buddy is super cute!
I hope you're feeling a lot better now, Dar. I'm sorry I haven't been visiting regularly. I even neglected my own blogging.
