Maisie gets her feet snowy!

We got some snow Friday and Saturday. I have been waiting for snow because I wanted to show it to Maisie. At first she didn't want to step in it,



then she just got all ticked off about it, and was making faces.



So, I barked at her "Come on, you goofball, it's just snow!"


So, she went a little further.., but still wasn't convinced.


Then she wanted to come in. mom said "no,deal with it".


So, then she went a little further and tried eating it..


I'm thinking "oh, for doG's sake"


Finally, by Saturday, I got her goin' in it. I tried the old tug-o-war move!




Then, we were good to go..










Mission accomplished!


pee-ess: We are still in that contest over at Johann's place if you would like to vote for us we would like that, and go give Johann some love...

They're off!

Our DWB holiday cards, that is. Bill picked them up the other day, so they should be getting to mailboxes shortly!





We made sure we got our cookies!



It has been really, really cold here, but we didn't get any snow, like some of you did. Mom says she doesn't care if we get any snow or not, but I like it! Maisie doesn't know anything about it yet, so we don't know if she likes it or not. Sunday we are going to my school's Christmas party, so tomorrow we are going to go and get our grab-bag gifts.
Things to remember: Johann's contest is a fundraiser for the shelter where his mum found him, and, our pal Sparky has made a painting that he is selling on eBAY to benefit his local shelter

Dogs With Blogs Holiday cards!

We're working on them! We have our big list from Opy with all your names and addresses,our pictures, got our stamps... Mailing them won't be a problem since our buddy Bill the mailman stops in every day to visit and give us
cookies. We already recieved a card from Mango, and one from Faya & Dyos, so mom says we have to get the lead out and get crackin'. First, we have to get Josie to stop sitting on them.
Mom says cats like to help, and we have to be polite and let them.


We sent to our out of country friends last week 'cause mom says they will take the longest to get there, and now we are working on the ones for our friends in the U.S.

We have been playing Miss Kylie's 25 days of Christmas game, so stop over and play along too, and mom put our picture in Johann's Howliday contest. There is a button/link on our blog to his big giveaway. Mom has been busy huckin' votes for us, and annoying all her friends and relatives.

I have agility tonight and we have our last so-boringly-stupid-my-head-might-explode obedience class on Saturday unless mom signs us up for another go-around. On Monday my Therapy Dog group is paying a visit to our favorite nursing home. Big week-end coming up!

Yikes! BIG change...

in the weather around here. It's cold. Mom said we better show you our fall pictures before we have pictures of Maisie either loving snow or hitchhiking back to Alabama.
We had such nice days, afternoon walks around the neighborhood were super.










There are lots of oak trees around here, Mom says that's why our neighborhood is called Squirrel Hill. For some reason, oak leaves hold really good smells. And, they are really crunchy and fun to walk on!





Afternoons in the yard have been fun too!





Laura and Josie have been enjoying open windows.


We have been going to obedience classes on Saturdays. Maisie has her Basic Manners class first, then I have an hour of Level 2 Practice class. It's OK, I like it, but it's sort of boring. We have class outside in the tennis court, that part is OK!



This is Val, our teacher. She doesn't mess around!


We like getting back home, all that thinking makes us tired, for a little while anyway!



Don't forget to go on over to Johann's place. He is having a really big contest & give-away again this year! There is a link up above on my blog.

From our house to your house..

HAPPY THANKSGIVING !

YOUR PALS,

Maisie's Birthday...

So, that previous post was sort of Maisie's year in review, the part when she was still in Alabama, anyhow. But now it's time to get to the good stuff! I kept telling her that birthday meant presents, but she wasn't "getting" it, until we actually gave her the presents. At first, she was puzzled, but she caught on pretty quick!











She got a toy for outside, a toy for inside, cookies, and I got her a birthday card that she can eat!









She shared the cookies with me.




Hey! What's that look for? I left some for her!


Pretty soon I am going to have another big surprise for her.... SNOW! HA!
