How is she doing?! I have been so excited for your family and am glad you were able to get her early! Best wishes to all of you and enjoy!

She is doing great. As i type this she woke me up at 430 crying. She is so sweet. Last night she laid on my lap for about fourty five minurtes and just cuddled.

I am so happy for all of you! Congratulations and hope you all stay warm!

The poor dogs here are suffering from cabin fever even more than we people. It has been so bitterly cold here this weekend (wind chills in the minus 30's) and doggie feet are freezing before we can get 'the business' done outside, but as soon as it gets back into the 30's or so, I know our old guy is in for a real outside romp.

I think dogs like playing in the snow more than little kids, and put both together, and you have a fine time.

My big boy is the same way. He can't wait to bolt out the door and run through the snow. He'll even lay down in it. I think it's cute when he starts sniffing around fresh snow and comes up with a white, snowy snout. Once the fresh snow gets crusty, I feel sorry for him because it can mess with his footing a little. He'll be walking along and whoops, the crusty layer gives way and his foot falls through. He look a little awkward when that happens. When the weather permits, we'll stay out and play, but once the temps get too low it's just out to do his business and then back in. Thank God, spring's sort of in sight.

I agree, mominohio, regarding the cabin fever: our 2 are SO bored inside....and getting into a bit of trouble! We just sigh and take care of things--we certainly can't blame them for trying to create some fun for themselves.

I understand about the white, snowy snout! It really is cute! The slippery ice creates some problems, although it can also be rather funny as long as they don't hurt themselves. Spring is a very good thought for today! Thanks for sharing!
