I made some snuggly beds for the boys

With the snow piling up outside, there's little to do outside for the little guys...


So, I had some leftover fabric in my craft area and the boys love to lie around on these beds. I can hear them snoring just thinking about it.

...next to our new fireplace. Boy, I can't believe we waited so long to get a nice fireplace for our home. It is really nice and cozy. A glass of wine anyone?

Welcome to Winter

This is one of the 6 times we were out shoveling snow. Got to love the Snowplow Guy! He sure knows how to "throw" a party! (Yes, the snow is up to my thighs here) We got about a foot and a half. It's sometimes hard to measure because the wind likes to make it drift in areas.

Tonka got a new hairdo. Kind of looks like an Afro.

This is the snow coming down (6am) on Wednesday morning. It was a cool thunder snowstorm with lightning. Very cool to watch and listen to. I don't think I have experienced anything like it before. The sky was an eerie quiet light prior to the storm. Almost daylight when the storm came over. The thunder was pretty loud too. I guess it had cyclone-like properties and was a storm of historic proportions.

Little Echo got dumped on. She is frozen to the ground right now (Thursday). Jeff picked a great week to be in Vegas for 'work'. I wish we had a snow blower. This storm had very heavy snow and it was a full body workout in the driveway for Logan and I. The doggies liked the snow. Larry was having a hard time walking in it as the snow was deeper than his height.

Doggie's First Snow

The guys had a great time running and playing in the snow. They love the new fence we had installed and love to bark at the neighbors (we may need to work on their neighborly behavior a bit).

A little Halloween Fun

We went to a friend's Halloween party and dressed up (the first time in years). It was a lot of fun. Cassie (a friend of ours) decided to go out with us. I was a geisha and the dogs were a little skeptical about me with face paint on. Jeff was Che Guevara and Cassie was a belly dancer. I thought we all had some pretty good costumes. I had on the tradition wooden Geisha shoes. They were a little interesting to walk in at first, but became pretty comfy.

Welcome Larry Wu Lee

We adopted a new puppy. He is a standard shar pei with a bear coat. I love that he looks like a little lion with his great looking mane.
