We had our heat wave last week. It lasted two days. Eleven inches of snow fell the next day. A nice neighbor helped us plow out our driveway. We have a snow pack of 30 inches in our yard and around the driveway and sidewalk - it is too tall to measure. YIKES!
I know we live in Minnesota, but this is ridiculous! The average temperature on Saturday should be 34 degrees. The weather guessers say we will be lucky to stay above zero. That's right, another polar vortex! The guessers hope the temperatures will be more normal by Thursday, March 6. I sure hope so. We have plans!
Last blog, I mentioned my concern about not having a valentine. I am happy to report, that has changed. The following day, my other neighbor friend, Hobey Baker came outside. We ran to meet each other and exchanged kisses. That's good enough for me! I like Hobey very much, I don't get to see him often because his parents work strange hours. He likes to run like me and he is very fast!
We sold some more books this week. A nice woman from out east was looking for a book describing her kidney transplant. She was a teacher and wanted to talk to the children about it. That's where we come in! Rudy's books to the rescue! She loved them so much, she purchased more for other people. We are keeping in touch. That makes us all feel good about fulfilling our mission.
We hope the snow melts by June, so until then; we hope everyone can stay warm and snuggle a puppy. In a pinch, a cat will do! :)

Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I know I am a day late, but it took a long time to thaw out my paws so I could type. Yes, the weather has been very cold again, but after the snowfall today, we are actually getting a heat wave next week! Usually temperatures in the 30's and maybe 40 wouldn't constitute a heat wave, but after this winter, it does!
I hoped to have a valentine this year. I thought my next door neighbor dog Gertie was my girlfriend, but now I'm not sure. I ran out yesterday to give her a valentine's kiss and she was more interested in running up and down the fence line with me. She is a bit young. I wonder if they have an online dating service for dogs. Mommy said she would be my valentine, so I guess that's all right.
Daddy did a fantastic job on his big talk at the church. Everyone told him that, too. I'm not surprised, I know he is great.
Our new web-site has been up for almost two weeks. We are still making a few modifications here and there, but are happy with the feedback we are getting.
Mommy is still working on feeling better. She has made progress, but is not back to 100 percent yet. I am still giving her plenty of kisses for energy and I'm sure that is working well. I want her to be completely better for her birthday next month.
I included a picture for your enjoyment. It's my Valentine to all of you.
Stay warm. If you can't, keep the ice out from between your toes!

Big News!
We have big news to announce! We have officially launched our new web site! It's still located at www.RudysLittleWorld.com, but it has a whole new fresh modern look. Daddy worked very hard at it for many months, learning and viewing tutorials. And and researching along the way. Mommy helped a little with the content and pages, but most of it was all Daddy! He is an all-star! He is also giving a big talk at our church on Sunday. Mommy is his coach. I support him by resting on his feet when be reads and writes. He is going to do great; I wish I could be there to hear him, but I can give him kisses before and after.
Last week we sold 20 books to a Child Life Center in North Carolina. We were very excited. It had been a little while since we had a big order like that. I know Rudy was happy; he always liked to share his stories.
Mommy's on round two of being sick. She can't seem to shake this bug going around. When people have a low immune system because of a transplant, it is easier to get sick. I have been keeping an eye on her too, so I have been a busy puppy.
We got a bunch of snow last week, so I have some fresh powder to play Frisbee. I hope the deep freeze ends soon.
