Snow Play

Today was a beautiful day.  While Shane was digging out the backyard Buster was having the time of his life leaping around in the snow.  Adam played in the snow with his sand toys from Qatar.  We tried to make a little snowman, but the snow here is way too dry for that.  So what did I do?  Take pictures, of course!

Buster loves the snow!

RIP Miss Lucy

My Mom lost one of her dogs today, Miss Lucy.  She started having trouble breathing and after many tests run it was found out to be carcinoma of the liver.  Rest in peace, Lucy...we will miss you.

New Years Eve Snowstorm!!

Well, we finally got a real snowstorm!  Everyone kept telling us that we would be knee-deep in snow (at least) here.  Before today, the most snow that was ever on the ground was maybe 4 inches.  This morning we woke up to about six inches on the ground, and this afternoon it is over a foot in some places!  It has snowed hard all day, and is still going strong as I type this at 3:30 in the afternoon!  The dogs went out and inspected it...Buster loved it and Bailey didn't.  She didn't care much for wading around in it, but Buster frolicked around like the crazy dog that he is.  Here are a few shots:

I had planned on taking down the tree today, but after seeing the shed under all that snow, I changed my mind!

You could still see the bench this morning

Buster loved it!

The bench is gone by lunchtime!

The dogs are getting their winter coats...but for some reason, Buster's hair doesn't grow out "gracefully".  It stands on end all over his body.  The hair on his head is especially funny!  

Maya and Tilly's last visit

We have houseguests again!  This time it's our old buds, Maya and Tilly.  They are staying with us one last time while their Mommy and Daddy are in Houston waiting for Baby Girl Ray to arrive!  Stephanie is due to have a C-section on the 24th, so we will all be anxiously awaiting baby pics!

Our new houseguest

This is Boomer, our houseguest for a few weeks while her "parents" cruise around Alaska.  Adam was so excited to have her back, and they have done nothing but play since she got here.  When I came up for bed I found here like this...but don't worry, she doesn't stay up there.  When Shane comes to bed, she heads for the corner behind the chair...

We're so pretty!

The dogs finally got groomed yesterday. They wouldn't pose for me, so this is the best shot I have of them. And, as usual, Bailey looks as if she has been stealing food from Buster!
