Winter Wonderland

Here is the gallery.

Ollie and Siopao had a huge play session but they were hardly one of the only ones. Jersey and Winston who both departed today also played their heads off. Still they all played at various times but who carries a camera around?

Mia who is 16.5 years old ate 2 full meals today and licked her bowl clean. When dogs get old, they tend to eat less like us - well some of us. I could eat all day if it was chocolate or great tasting food. LOL 

Ms Coco didn't want to be out in the snow. She is a bit miffed that Mia is trying to monopolize Nathan's time so she gets creative about it. That gal is smart! Hazel has learned by watching Coco. Socks - well he just looks as if to say REALLY!

Teddy and Charlie depart tomorrow and have they made new pals. Jax and Nori depart too and Nori came completely out of her shell. Ollie and Petey have been playing outside so much that they are wet rags way too often. It is a riot!

Kevin - why do you want everyone else's bowls. I so laugh... Benjy too.... ah it is dinner time and can I have yours too? Simba - what can we say about Simba - a puppy who just thinks life is all about having fun. You should have seen Simba, Stryker, Winston and Quinn together this week. It was hysterical. Skylar is like a flower blooming. She doesn't let the weather bother her and demands her warm blankets after an outing as I always do when it is snowy or wet out there.

Oh and Big Coco think snow angels are the best. She thinks someone gave her a holiday present called snow. 

I could go on but I would bore you. 

I will say I won't be revealing names but last night someone grabbed the end of the toilet paper and ran with it till it was empty. I was brushing my teeth. I turned around and like a run that I was imagining was at the speed of light, the toilet paper was empty and a dog smiling from ear to ear was at the other end. 

This is some of the fun we deal with daily and I do have my sense of humour as it is plain fun to see this in action.
