Punxsutawney Phil and Amber

Ha roo! Storms here! Does everypuppy know that it's Groundhog Day? That's right - it's the day Punxsutawney Phil comes out of his underground den and basically gives a weather forecast. If he doesn't see his shadow, it means an early Spring; if he does, 6 more weeks of Winter. You can click here for this year's prediction. But really ... what does a groundhog know? Where does he get his info?

Rumor has it, he waits for a certain Siberian Husky to come out from her den (AKA the dining room table) and seeks her advice.

Is it time? Should I make my appearance?

That's what really happens on Groundhog Day. Only it's a different day here. IT'S AMBER'S BIRTHDAY!!! For real!


That's our story and we're stickin' to it!

Happy birthday, Ammy!!!! You're the best Snow-Caster EVER!

AND... is anypuppy really surprised that Amber really was born on Groundhog Day?

Tail wags,
Storms

PS: The picture above of Amber and Phil is not real. Please do not panic. The groundhog is NOT really that big!

  1. Good thing we have Ammy to rely on for our weather. Those silly groundhogs usually aren't right anyway!

    Happy Birthday Ammy!!! Hope you get lots of treats and smooches from your humans!

  3. Holly: Thank roo! It's been a VERY special day here, with singing and EVERYthing!

    Tubey: Thank roo!!! Mom grew up all over the place but yes, she was born there during a move ("Pull over here... this one's going to be trouble!") and went to Penn State! I think that's where the groundhog went to school, too.

    Love,
    Ammy

  4. Happy Birthday Amber! The groundhogs living under our shed never say anything but Squeek. Amber always has a much better forecast than squeek.

  5. Ammy! We wish you the most bestest birthday possible! Kinda fun how you and the hog work so good togetther too! I bet you could really come in handy with some tv weather forecasters too, they seem to not be too great at their jobs some days. You should hold a Ammy long distance weather forecast class!

    Luv and birthday XOXOXOXO's

  6. Even if the groundhog was that big...Amber is a force to be reckoned with.

  9. Happy Birthday, Ammy! Yesterday was the birthday of our human friend, Amber. Do you think someone planned that?

    We clicked on your snack link in your last post and ... we get that snack too! Mom gives us some Nutro Ultra snacks too but the Nutro Max Mini bones is first choice!

    P.S. We think Phil (Amber) may be right about the early spring well at least here in Japan.

  13. Wew, glad you stated that, cause we were really scared for a minute, that looks like one big rodent. What a perfect day for Amber to have been born, it's all so clear now as to why she's such a great weather dog! Happy Birthday Girl!!!

  14. Magnum: Can your groundhog predict the weather?

    Frankie and Maddie: The Weather bipeds should check our blog first! Then they'd KNOW!

    Chelsea: Hee hee hee! Yea! :)

    Opy: Thank roo and I love having you as my friend, too!!!

    T-man: You're so sweet! It's been VERY cold! I hope you're staying warm enough!

    Roxie, Andy and Sammy: Really? A biped named Amber? Maybe she was named after me. :) Aren't the Nutro Max Minis the BEST!?!? I love them!!!

    Jazz and Dixie: Thank roo! I hope you don't have a sudden cold snap that ruins the beautiful cherry blossums!

    Rocky and Mati: I had a VERY happy birthday! I know the East Coast has had a pretty mild winter -- but not us! It's been bitterly cold! The bipeds here are ready to get warm!

    Joe Stains: Can your mama predict the weather? Or is it just groundhogs from Punxsutawney?

    Macie & Malechai: It's kind of a funny coincidence, isn't it?

    Thank roo, EVERYPUPPY for the wonderful birthday wishes!!!
    Love,
    Amber
