Warmer Inside

Gallery is here.

I have to say it is warmer indoors. I usually walk around in barefeet even in the winter. I have socks on and my feet feel cold but it is warm indoors. The dogs go out and then come right back in. 

You see we have an opossum in our yard and the dogs like to chase it. I hear they are beneficial keeping bugs, ticks etc out of your yard and they do not carry rabies as their body temp is too low but they look like oversized rats. I shouldn't be so judgemental but I feel like I live in the country vs being in the suburbs. 

They go out to look for it then it is too cold so they come back in quickly. Is this going to be what winter is this year? Just bloody cold.

Everyone is playing. Vivi was here - thank you for the chocolates - truly. Fudge will depart tonight and so will Logan and Panda.

I am still playing procrastination with the 3d printer - unlike me. I want to watch tv and hibernate.

Dennis is busy doing laundry. I am not participating. I have done enough laundry so I will let himn do it. He washes everything after pups depart and then stores it away. 

Tomorrow is the start of Chanukah and 10 days later Christmas eve. Dogs will come and we have a ton of fun when they do. I love watching dog relationships develop. 

Winston - the puppy is busy playing with all but he so loves Stryker.  Nafas and Stryker was in class last night and Nafas hugs Stryker in an endearing way. What a cutie patootie. It is nice to see the pups and/or hear about them. I do so miss them!

How sweet that Nafas gives Stryker a hug at class.
I am excited to see how Quinn reacts to Stryker when he comes to visit on the 20th.

I am sure he will be warmly received. Stryker obviously recognizes those that were in Nami's crew as his siblings. It is endearing. This crew was really tight. Winston has gone home a tired little man and Stryker is resting asleep on Nathan's lap after the moms rallied around him and played. It is as if they know he is sad to see them go. Winston was happy to come - happy to see his humans and return home. It is how it should work.
