Hibernation

Tuesday, March 13th, 2018

Hi everyone!

Sorry that Sid and I have been absent lately. I’ve had a few other projects going on right now so I haven’t had a chance to document the day-to-day activities of my flat-faced companion. Although since it’s still pretty dang cold out in the Midwest, our adventures have been slim to none this past month.

So Sid has been in hibernation mode.

We have been getting a surprising amount of sunny days, though, which light up our apartment and create a multitude of perfect nap spots for this hibernating pug. Ah, the good life!

Hibernation Preparation

Tuesday, November 17th, 2015

Hi everyone!

Sid here today. I’m sorry I’ve been away for a bit. I had been reading about bears and hibernation and thought I’d give it a try since the weather has started getting colder here.

I’m a champ at taking naps and thought this would be pretty easy. Well, I was only able to hibernate for about 4 hours before I started getting hungry and had to go stare at my dad and persuade him to give me a few treats. So bears go the WHOLE WINTER without eating? I don’t know how they can do it. I can barely go an afternoon! Do you guys have any hibernation tips for me?

Winter’s Back (sigh)

Monday, March 28th, 2011

View out our window - more snow!

We’ve been had! The 60-degree spell we had here about a week ago turned the rational part of our brains to mush. Even though it was only mid-March, summer clothes were immediately unearthed from storage bins, outdoor seating at restaurants filled up faster than they could supply seats, and the park was packed with people enjoying the pleasant, sunny weather. Spring was here!

A couple days later, it snowed.

Luckily, this dusting of (abnormally large!) flakes was nothing compared to the blizzard we had in December. This snow didn’t even stick. That being said, it still is poor timing considering I already packed away my puffy winter coat for the the season.

Sid continues to hibernate until Spring really arrives

Confused as ever, Sid has resigned to hibernating until June. He just doesn’t want to be fooled again.
