I got out the camera last night to take some picks of my Secret Santa gift (I'll post that in my folder).

As usual, Bomba decided to try and muck up the camera shot by coming in close and interfering. This time he did it by vigorously licking my arm, thus jostling the camera so I couldn't set up a good shot. Little did he know that I was just getting the camera ready for Mom to take a pic of me with my new gift.

Anyway, I warned Bomba if he kept licking me, "I'm going to get a close up picture of you licking my arm!" And soooo....I did!




So then he decided to plop down in front of Mom's chair to show me just how bored he was of the whole thing!

Ok landi, I'm gonna get you for that one! LOL Saxy, I remember when you were deciding on whether to get both pups, too! They've certainly grown up to be beautiful dogs! Yankee, those pics are adorable of Finnegan and the one with the breeder is beautiful!! Whitney is a cutie and Bomba knows how to get the attention he so deserves, huh? :-) Egbok and Granny... isn't it so fun when they experience things for the first time?!

I have a picture of my DDs puppy, Kit. He was doing good w/his potty training until they got back from Thanksgiving vacation when they were with him all the time and he was with his "cousin". He had a ball playing with Joe's sister's dog and was a "big boy" going out with him. After they went back to work, Kit was just so hyper with being crated after having their full attention for a week that he decided he liked pooping in the house again. Last time I talked to her about him, he was doing a bit better, but I have to laugh at the stuff he's chewing since my cat Misha has been DDs enemy for chewing her stuff! LOL

Yesterday I stopped in a pet store that was next to the post office just to see their puppies and the guy was telling me he's focusing more on having mix breed, although they're not the "cheap" mix breeds but the ones people pay lots of money for now! I was holding this adorable ginger colored pomapoo and the rest of his litter was there. They're just total little fluff balls of adorable! Then I held this other pup that was a lasapoo or however you spell it. He also had some other older pups that were running around and sooooo friendly. I came home smelling like puppies and boy were my furbabies interested! LOL My DH loves DDs pup, but I'm thinking maybe he loves him more because we don't have to take care of him all the time! Darn my DD since she's got me looking at pups now! I doubt I'd attempt to get anything though as long as Kellie is still here. She's getting a tad cranky in her twilight years!

Anyway..here's a pic of Kit the "chorkie" from the weekend before Thanksgiving. He's a bundle of energy and my future SIL took him with him on the firetruck the other night when the firemen did their "Santa runs." He said he had a ball and wasn't afraid of the noises at all. He just loves attention!

Kit looks cute and I bet full of energy!

One of Bomba's favorite past times is to go open the back door for him every time I get up....regardless of if he decides he wants to go out or not.....


Tonight, he decided he didn't want to go out......gee, I wonder why?

ummm nevermind

Notice the snow is so deep the screen door had to push quite a bit of it aside to even clear a path for the door. He made a move or two to attempt to step down into the snow bank. And he decided it just wasn't worth the attempt!

And...that ain't a snow drift. Its pretty much that deep all across the yard! You can see a slight furrow in the snow just in front of Bomba, that's the now almost all covered up trail he plowed for himself when he was out a few hours earlier!

Well, Bomba finally made a valiant attempt, once I put some boots on, stepped out in the snow and gave him a reference point on how deep it was.

He managed to plow himself out a few feet before he gave up, turned around and came back in. The snow is now up to just past his chest....and still coming down!

Looks like I'll be laying out papers overnight....I don't mind a bit. Poor guy wouldn't be able to lift his leg since he's probably already dragging his....um....well....you know...in the snow as it is!

He ain't dragging it anymore, Who, it froze off, poor little guy! Harvey wouldn't have even made it that far, it was 28 when we work up this morning and he still won't go out cuz he's cold.

Who I love it your "wrapping" guideline...I only have 1 dog...but she's a beagle, and I went through all that on Saturday...I tried putting her in her crate, but all that did was cause her to howl, and that's even worse. She loved the empty wrapping paper tube!

Who.. funny "wrapping guidline!" I wonder if they have one which combines dogs AND cats. That's really an ordeal! LOL

When the snow keeps coming and coming, we have to go out and actually shovel a path so Kellie can go! Poor puppies! We've been weirdly snowless this month and I'm wondering how much we're going to pay for it later! If DH has any energy left after doing the driveway, sometimes he'll take our little snow blower and make a "circle" for Kellie so she can get out there! Other times, there I am, out with a snow shovel digging away! Sometimes she cheats and just goes on our deck. I can't really blame her!! LOL She actually does like snow as opposed to rain, where I have to do more than coaxing sometimes!! Her poor joints don't take the cold so well anymore, though.

I wonder how poor little Kit and other small doggies can even get out, let alone "go!"

Wow! Bomba's up to his neck! Good thing he's black, not white, or you might have lost sight of him. I remember those Colorado winters with deep snow..yikes! Stay warm, Who!

Whoami

My brother lives in Colorado Springs and his big baby of a Rottie hates the cold, rain, snow, etc. My brother has to push her out the door and at 110 pounds that is no easy task.

Your photo's are wonderful but glad you got the snow, sorry. Where are you at in CO?

Everyone's photo's are just beautiful, as soon as I learn how I will upload my babies but for now I just look and love all the one's that are posted.

Regee, I am in Longmont! Quite a bit north of your brother.

Bomba finally made it out long enough to pee. I even laid down papers for him, and he held it and waited to go out, bless his lil' old pea-picking heart (ok, anyone know who I just quoted there?)!

I don't know what our neighbor's ankle-biter dogs are doing! I heard them yipping and Bomba when he went out today. Maybe they just burrowed under it!

Poor Bomba just kept giving me this "look" last night. Like, "I depend on you to take care of me. Why aren't you doing something about that mess out there? I'm supposed to be able to get around my yard, and every where I try to go this stuff is up to my neck!"

I don't know how many times he tried to go out, and then was dissapointed that it still looked like it did the last time he went out. I guess he expected me to twinkle my nose and make it all disappear!

That poor baby, I feel so badly for him. Maybe some extra treats will help <giggle>.

And my 2 are VERY UNHAPPY with the rain that we are getting. They have to have there coats on and my older rescue just glares at me and tries to hold it as long as possible.

I think ya all got more snow than down in the Springs.
