When it snows the dogs are so excited; or shall I say Grover is excited and Gisele is always her sleepy, groggy, lazy self! Yesterday when I was home I had cleaned and started to do some work to prepare for Monday. Grover in so many ways is very frustrated with his stature seeing that his "little sis" Gisele passed him up in height and weight in just a manner of weeks! When I came around the corner I was shocked to see him sitting like a cat so he could see the snow falling and watch T.V.!! I've never seen a dog watch TV so much (and I really don't know what I was watching---looks like hamburgers!!).


Last night after supper we did take a walk in the evening. It's so peaceful in the woods with the fresh snow lighting the way. The dogs had a blast and we enjoyed playing hide n go seek and throwing a few snowballs!!

Too Good to be True!

I knew it was too good to be true. I just knew it! I knew a brand promising the "virtually indestructible CHEW GUARD technology" couldn't stand up to our Grover! Here is some of their marketing line, it reads as follows: "The Chew Guard lining was specially engineered to withstand the daily rigors of a dog's play. Dogs are tough but Chew Guard is tougher! All seams are double stitched and reinforced as well. Chew Guard technology is guaranteed to stand up to your toughest chewer." This is the best line...."All Chew Guard toys come with a satisfaction guarantee for the life of the toy!"
If I am not mistaken---this toy is dead. I'm even having trouble locating one of the legs. Grover has always been a powerful chewer. That's why we have always loved rawhide. But, since we've gotten Gisele we have tried to steer clear due to her sensitive stomach. I guess we will just have to keep the pig ears coming! I think I will have to see just how much they "hold up" to their satisfaction guaranteed!

Happy Valentine's!


We have been married 3 1/2 years!
The dogs with their Valentine's....what a hit! (looks like they are both smiling!)




We hope everyone had a great Valentine's day! It was a hectic day for me and I didn't get home until after 6p. Kit called around to different restaurants and it was about an hour wait. Solution? Order pizza in and go out another night! Who says you can't have a romantic dinner for two....at home :)

Rub-a-dub Gisele is in the tub!
Loving the snow!
Is it a dog? a squirrel?!
We've had enough of the mouse!
I know it's been a while since we've posting anything. But, nothing too exciting has been going on around here.
The dogs enjoyed the snow we got on Friday so on my day off we were in and out quite a bit playing in it. I posted a couple pics of the dogs and the one with Grover make me laugh so hard; he looks like an overgrown squirrel or something with his fluffy tail up! haha
We finally got the mouse on Saturday that got into our pantry. We were curled up on the couch Friday night watching a movie when the mouse made it's move and started knocking things off the shelves. That was it! The poison obviously didn't work so that's when we got the snap trap and it didn't take long at all to catch him....hopefully he didn't tell any of his friends!
Last night Grover & Gisele got their baths. Gisele loves them! Grover on the other hand is less than impressed.
We also have switched out all our outlets and cover to nice, crisp white! With this older house, we had white, tan, brown, and of course all with paint splatters on them. So nice to have it all uniform and neat :)
We are hosting a superbowl party tonight so I had better keep moving!
