Weather warnings and haggis
Posted: January 25, 2013 Filed under: weather | Tags: alaskan malamute, Burns night, facebook, haggis, puppy, weather warnings 64 Comments »Everyday this week the weather report has changed. Earlier in the week there were severe weather warnings reported for this weekend and we were told that there would be more snow today, but here in Essex it looks like the most we might get is rain:-( Mummy is happy about this as our snow has mostly turned to ice and she’s slipping all over the place on our walks and whingeing loads. Sigh. Humans – can’t live with them, can get bellyrubs and treats with out them! Personally I’m hoping for more snow – but I guess you’re not surprised by that!
She did however help me with my facebook page so I guess I forgive her for moaning so much BOL. BTW thanks everyone for ‘liking’ me:-)
Me and mummy having a little cuddle
Whether we get snow or not, today is also Burns night, and although we’re not Scottish, we celebrate anyway – you’re probably starting to realise that we jump on the bandwagon for most festivities! Apparently we get to eat haggis – or at least they do, but I’m hoping to try some:-)
Will you be having haggis for dinner?
No haggis here! I hope you get a little piece to try, Misaki.
Me too Clowie!
Helpppppp Misaki we forgot it was Burns night. Yikes no Haggis for us. Sacking the peeps. Have a good one. Hope you do get snow but unfortunately it is unlikely as we are getting a warm spell. Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly
Oh noes…well you’ll just have to come to ours for dinner instead!
Hi Misaki! Mom told me all about the first time she had haggis….one of those tour thingies she and my Dad were on and they were at some kind of show and it was served……..all I can say is she was glad they ALSO served everybody “a wee dram” along with it to help wash it down! Tee Hee……..Happy Burns Night and I hope you get LOTSA snow!

Hehehehe! Mummy’s doesn’t like haggis much, so she’ll be hitting the whisky hard BOL
Doesn’t look like we’re going to get any snow now:-( Hope you’re enjoying yours though!
So much to comment on:
1. Typist went for a run the other night and fell over! Idiot, who runs in the snow if they only have two legs?? It was a proper splat and everything! She blames the other half who took her on the run – I think he is long suffering (even if they have only lived together for 1 month and 25days!)
2. We have snow! The weather people said 4pm, so I am arguing the point as as they are never wrong I should be allowed to go home in an hour!!
3. Typist thought it was burns night tomorrow?! Pfft shows what I have to put up with!
Oh noes, poor Typist! Hope she’s OK.
You have snow?? SOOOO jealous! We have none, it’s just cold. The rain we were supposed to get has disapeared from the weather chart too… Hope you get to go home early and play in it.
My nanny says Burns night is the 25th, she maybe wrong but we’re celebrating today nevertheless
No it will be typist that is wrong! She saw a sign saying celebrate burns night on sat and so assumed that was the night – I tell you she is a nightmare! We ad snow up to typists knees this weekend!
what is haggis? I’m too lazy to click on the link…in a rush today
Lol it’s a traditional Scottish dish, it’s sheep’s heart, liver and lungs mixed with onions and spices etc. It used to be served inside the sheep’s stomach but nowadays it’s often inside sausage casing instead.
You usually drink lots of whisky when you eat it lol
No haggis here in Wales! But I think it might be something you enjoy Misaki
I heard its snowing your way, hope your staying safe and warm xxx
Aw Misaki I’m sorry about that serious lack of snow…BTW, did you steal Mollie’s snow…she says someone did and I thought first of you
Momz sez no haggis here in Florida that she’s ever seen so you have to try it and tell us what it’s like Happy Burns Night!
I wish I had stolen hers! Jack Frost has turned ours to ice so mummy and I have taken to skating (aka slipping and sliding) instead of walking round the park BOL
I’ll report back on the haggis tomorrow!
…ahhhmmm no, not really that’s something with sheeps pluck, isn’t it? But I wear a sheep’s wool sweater… can we count this too? ;o)
I think that definitely counts Easy:-)
Hmm, I’m thinking we will skip the haggis (never heard of that before!) but you enjoy, sweet Misaki
Oink oink,
Katie and Coccolino the mini pig
I think it is a bit of an acquired taste BOL
We’re going to a Burns nigh do tonight too Misaki. Kind of dreading the haggis bit but perhaps it’ll finally be the haggis to change my mind
Hope you get to taste some – we’re pretty sure you’ll love it!
Mummy says I can have hers BOL, she’s going to stick to the whisky:-)
Have you have a great time!!
I’m Scottish and have never had haggis. It’s on my bucket list.
I tried it…not that impressive tbh!
Iz it burn’z night already
Time flie’z. It’z soooo cold here 
xx00xx
Mollie and Alfie
Keep warm Mollipop!
Mom says she’d need to be pretty DRUNK to eat haggis. It sounds gnarly to her, but yummy to me. She’s thinking macaroni and cheese tonight. Mmmmm cheese. Mmmmm haggis. Mmmmm spiders. Mmmmm dirt clods. Mmmmm……
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Hey Mom, get started and bottoms up!
Yeah, that’s what my mummy says too!
OH, I so hope you get more snow. None in the future for me. *sigh*
NOra
We didn’t get any more sadly:-( Will just have to bask in my memories instead
Oh no, there will not be haggis in our house, I just can’t do that… we’re having tacos tonight.
Sorry to hear about the no snow for you, we don’t have any either!
I’ll be right over. Tacos!
Well, facebook is no replacement for snow but it is better than nothing!
Now that is true sadly!
Awww so nice to have a mommy cuddle.
it sure it is!
I’m sure you’ll get to try some Haggis Misaki – you’ll convince them with your bribery eyes
I did, but I didn’t get any:-(
What?!?! I cannot believe they didn’t fall for your adorable face and let you try some. Humans – just no explaining them.
Unfortunately for us humans, if one foot slips we only have one other foot to catch us. You guys have three back-up feet, so you have to cut us a break!
I guess, I’ll try to go easier on her next time!
ewww hagis yuk! happy Burns night!
Yeah, that’s how mummy feels too BOL
Some hae meat and cannae eat
Some would eat that want it
But we hae meat and we can eat
Sae let the Lord be thankit!
Not the ‘Ode to a Haggis’ but what we always used to say on Burns night.
I’ve got more snow…lots of snow, I hope you get a little bit at least (you can have some of ours lol)
xox
Jinx, that’s what my nanny said too!!
We’ve only had rain, now snow in sight:-(
haha I learnt it from Toby’s Grandma so that doesn’t surprise me. Send the rain this way please! I need the snow gone by tomorrow morning ready for my drive to work! lol
We think Haggis sounds great, but our Lady won’t have it. She said she tried it once in Scotland and did not like it. We think she just doesn’t like to deprive us of all things good. Enjoy!
Mummy doesn’t like it either BOL
No haggis here!
You didn’t miss much BOL
No thank you on the haggis. Enjoy it. Live your facebook page. I hope you get snow.
BOL my mummy doesn’t blame you on the haggis front!
Dear Misaki,
Oh, I do hope you get SNOW – that’s the BEST! What is this thing you call “haggis”? Wait – my person says that has MEAT in it! Yes please, I would like some. Could you bring some over?
Licks,
Cobi
No snow sadly, just rain!
Yep haggis is good and meaty. Mummy doesn’t like it though BOL
Well, Misaki, I have never had haggis…and I think I’m too much of a scaredy-cat to try it! So, if you DO get a chance to try it, I will trust your canine-foodie opinion!
BOL I’m not very discerning when it comes to food, I love everything except for raw brussell sprouts. So you might not want to listen too closely to my opinion!
Gosh you are looking COZY to the max – my parents celebrated it – i didn’t
we have some Scottish a few generations back – hope u got some yums xxxx C
Hope your parents had a great time!
