More snow...

So this has been our third day of snow here, I think we are up to about 20" though its probably more in some spots. I got my camera charged and am still trying to download some videos I took yesterday.

A Very White Christmas

I travelled all day yesterday and got up to our home in NC late yesterday evening. We woke up to a VERY WHITE CHRISTMAS! The dogs had a blast in the snow running and playing.

Remy, yummy snow...
Dory and the stick, Remy fell in a hole behind her too:-))

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! The dogs had some wonderful gifts from our friend Michelle and our Cardi Claus box, they loved everything!

Family

Beli, Remy, Dory and I went down to Ritas to visit for just a bit before she moves on Sunday. It is very bittersweet to say goodbye, I know that Rita will have a blast with her new property and home but I will sure miss her being around!
Rita and I with Beli and Shimmer, who will be 13 in January...

Belle(Cornerstone Fairysteed Belle ROMs). Belle is 14+ and doing so well! She is the Greatgreat grandma to Abby's litter.


Belle with her GGgrandpups:-))





Beli letting me know how much he disapproves of my taking pictures of other dogs:-)))
So the dogs and I both got to see and say goodbye to part of our family today.

Burrrrrr!

I do still live in FL right? I cannot remember it being this cold in FL this early in the year ever ( I was born and raised here). I had to break 2" or more of ice on dog buckets and water troughs this am! The ice stayed there all day too, I don't remember that happening other than this January. The dogs are staying cozy in the house for the most part but I did slip out and work a couple this afternoon. Dressed out in my snowman gear of course:-))
I had Evy and Abby adjusted a couple weeks ago and they have both been a little off since. Abby is still lame on her front but Evy is sound for now. I worked Evy for almost 45min, she would work until she dropped so I had to drag her away kicking and screaming from the sheep. She did a great job on my light whethers, I hope that she behaves like that in the trials this Spring! Rosy also got worked but she is being a really pushy little bitch these days so most of my time spent is walking her down to reinforce the lie down, sigh... We did get some good work done but the better part of it was a fight... Sally got to feed with Beli this evening so I'll try and work her tomorrow. No pics right now since my cold weather gear doesn't allow me much freedom for something else to carry along!:-))

Rosy's show pic- Ocala

We finally got a pic I like:-)) The judge was a little grouchy since we had to redo the photo several times (photographers fault) so I chopped her out.
I think that gives her several points now, I'll have to check this week.

Playtime!

Finally remembered the camera when I took the dogs on a walk last week... So for a change I have new pics of most of the dogs.

We must have been good this year!

This huge box was waiting for us at the gate after work! Hmmmm what could be inside???
Looks harmless enough but suspiciously like a Cardi Claus package:-)) Yippee!

All of this was inside!!! Yummy Merrick sausages(for everyone), tennis balls, lamb snacks(they love!), their favorite fleecy toys and a beautiful ornament (from DC), chocolate and hot cocoa for me:-)) Wow what a wonderful treat for us! HUGE THANKS to Claire Ward for our lovely and very generous and thoughtful Cardi Claus treats. I especially love the card:-))

The dogs knew something was up but I opened the first sausage and they went crazy! Notice the pug even awoke from his deep sleep on the couch to come for a taste:-))
**The funniest thing was there is a map drawn on the box to find our house and stickers all over the return address, so I really didn't know where the box was from:-))
