I thought that statement "We have several doggie cloaks, etc. - he wears them indoors if we don't have the thermostat set to his specifications." was quite funny, too, but very cute! We love our animals and spoil them to death! After all, they give us ALL their love!

Roscoe absolutely HATES getting his coat on, but White Dog LOVES his - he prances around in it, knowing how handsome he looks in red. LOL! Roscoe's is a tan 'trench coat' style, but he doesn't like wearing sweaters either. He only tolerates them when it's too cold and windy to go out without it.

Good Morning Conor! You keep that basket full of kitties in a warm place today! Have a wonderful warm and fuzzy Wednesday!

Awwwwwwwwwwwww! Hope someone lets her in soon! :) Thanks, Yorkie!

Some yorkies actually LIKE snow!(Click here)

Like Kevin.

(But little Lindy hated it!)

[Billie]

Because when they love you they do so unconditionally.

Oh, how they do love. And jaycee, that graphic was the sweetest thing. I can't imagine 'not' having a dog for very long.

What temperatures do you have right now? And what are your lows at night?

Here, we a had a big snowfall a couple of days ago. 12-15 inches. Biggest in 20 years, I think. It sure has been fun for playing in...

I love sauerkraut...I drain and rinse a little, then put in a skillet and sorta brown it. I also sprinkle a little sugar around on top while I’m stirring! And I love it with weiners browned real good and of course, mashed potatoes.

Oh, wow, Amy! That snow sculpture is outstanding! I'm sure you and Marissa whipped it out in a couple of hours with that snow I thought you said you were having in Fresno!

[jaycee]

Adorable graphic, Amy! Aren’t they having loads of fun? Cute little poem!

Good morning, Yorkie.
I think the rain is over here. We've had enough until the next system arrives. :)

It didn't rain polar bears or cats and dogs.
We did get at least 1" of rain overnight. (That is a lot!)
Our rain gauge shows this storm brought 1 1/3 inches.
There are years that this much rain would be a monthly total.

Stock up on the chocolate before this one gets to AZ.

Have a WF Wednesday.

Another cutie pie....I’ll take him/her in today! Thanks, tiapam!

[jaycee]

Awwww.....very sweet, Mary Lou! Hope you’re having a wonderful day down in sunny Florida! Didn’t Florida break records this year with the coldest temperatures? Think I heard that on the news.

[tiapam]

Never saw a Yorkie like snow THAT much! Check out the long tail!! :) Thanks, Yorkie!

[jaycee]

Hi geologist! Thank you for your beautiful writing today! I appreciate reading your pieces very much. May God Bless you.

[tiapam]

A Definite
LOL!
And TOO Cute! :)

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Billie. I love those snow and ice sculptures.

That snow sculpture was one I saved when you did the ice sculptures at the Finest.
Didn't use it then so it seemed the perfect time.
I used the one above on the Finest thread.

I love that carriage ice sculpture that you used. It is really spectacular.

I bet Roscoe doesn't remember he has his coat on after he gets outside! All they want to do is have fun, especially in the snow. I would love to see you with Roscoe and White Dog walking in the snow! Do they get to go walking twice per day?

I think my SIL takes hers out twice a day! She has to take them one at a time because one of their little dogs has gone blind and she has to watch it closely. He actually does very well so they tell me. I know one thing, he will be dearly loved until he dies. He is only a little over 3 years old.

Amy, I just LOVE your SNOW DOGS!!!

I tear into my decorations with a vengeance, jaycee! I decorate almost every room in the house, and it takes about 2 1/2 days to do it - and ONE day to take it down and put it away!

I use my dining room table (covered with protection) and lay every swag and garland and other stuff on it before tackling "the tree"! I wrap and put away all that stuff, and put the normal pictures & accessories back on the walls, tables, piano, fireplace mantle ...

When that's done, THEN I take all the ornaments off the tree, laying them in groups (the way I store them in boxes) on the dining table, and boxing those. Last are the lights (I don't use a pre-lighted tree) and finally the tree itself. We don't always do too much lighting outside, so it's not a big chore to 'undo' either - mostly wreaths on the doors and gates.

Christmas is usually GONE here by the day after. :)

Aqua, your snow pictures are beautiful (but COLD looking!)

Hope you are able to get ‘dug out’ soon! Thanks for sharing with us!
