Being Silly

Yesterday was a very cold day and I was bored again! So mom put one of my favorite toys - a cardboard toilet paper roll - into the hide-a-squirrel (that Ludo sent to me a long time ago) and I had a blast getting it out of that log! I had already been playing for awhile when mom thought to video me so she didn't get the best stuff but she still thought I was cute (and I was/am cute)!

It's sunny and 19 this morning and I think we're going for a walk! This time next week our highs are supposed to be in the 50s! But it's going to rain. Guess you can't have it all.....

Life These Days

Yep, this is pretty much what I do all day long these days! LOL - just kidding. Actually I got to walk on Friday and yesterday and today! Finally! And I was BAD on Friday - barking and spinning when cars would go by and pulling mom. Well, what can you expect after being cooped up in the house for three days. Mom does what she can to entertain me - we do agility in the living room, do recalls from all over the house, work on tricks, get on the ball, and play find it (mom hides tiny pieces of treats and I have to smell and smell to find them - I love that game!). But there is just no substitute for getting outside.

Guess what? It's supposed to snow tomorrow!

Gotta zoom (if only, sigh!)!

Thumbing Our Noses at Old Man Winter!

We are continuing to pretend that it is not snowy and cold and went out again yesterday to enjoy our relatively deserted park! Mom brought her camera and unfortunately, I was forced to pose.


You can tell it was kind of windy from my fur:

The frozen casting pond - no fishing today:

I am leading the way:

Here is the nicely plowed bike path:

OMG, I will not look at you no matter what words you say (treat, grandma, dad, do you wanna) - just get me down off of this thing:

Frozen river in the background:

Can we just keep going, please?

Look - a beaver has been out working on this tree in the dead of winter:

Nothing but grayish-white as far as the eye can see - welcome to winter in central Ohio:

Snow!

On Saturday we had our first measurable snow - a little over an inch, I would guess. I think it's awesome, but mom's not too thrilled.

Over the weekend we went to visit grandma and grandpa and then the next day we went to watch my favorite trainer Deb at an agility trial. She did great and I had a good time because lots of people know me now (although I have yet to step foot in the ring!) and I get lots of treats just for standing around and looking good!

Mom tries to keep me busy even though we can't play outside much. We are working on lots of new tricks and trying to get even better at the old tricks. We practice some agility nearly every day - either inside or out. Yesterday we did weaves and jumps in the snow!

This morning it is raining - the snow will soon be gone. And the sky is gray, the ground is gray....everything is gray. Oh, Ohio in the winter......

Gotta zoom!
