Burrr...Snow again!

742am -- Yawn, strectch, YAWN!
I wake up to sneezes this morning, Jip sneezes to get attention, and as it turns out he's an effective alarm clock too. I peak outside and see we had snow last night, and it's still coming down. Jip is eager to paint the yard yellow - so we head out for some fun....

Jip prints....

View of house and snow covered car with frozen doors... but today I don't have to worry about getting the car open.

Jip found his stick again....
What's that ? A BALL? I have his attention now~
Now, let's play fetch!
Jip brings it back ...
This short played game was sure fun but I had to get back inside!

Boy it's COLD up here! hope your all staying warm and snuggled up !

Take a walk with me

Thursday walk with Jip .....sunny finally!!

Notice the dogs in the window barking? this group of 5 dogs bark up a storm if you even walk by the house ACROSS the street...imagine how much Jip enjoyed the chance to walk by the window!

Walking him without a leash is risky but I don't do it alot. He loves running in short bursts to each yard...
When he gets too far ahead I'll shout out " HEY JIP, I'm outta here! " turn heel and pretend to leave him. Works every time to bring him running back to me.

another Jip game, he grabs his leash gets to guide me!

Until he finds the best stick, then he has to take a while to appreciate his find.
carrying it around until he finds a good spot for a chew....

After being inside all day , all week, it is very important he gets his time to be a Dog.

Sunday Snow

I woke up to snow on the ground this morning. It is so nice when it snows, it seems the whole city quiets down. There is hardly anyone on the road and everyone slows down and it's feels so nice and relaxing to watch the flakes falling to the ground or collecting on the bushes.

It is hard to spot My Jipper in this sea of white, and after calling him many times I noticed he was just a few feet away looking at me curiously with those small black eyes of his. We did NOT go for a walk this morning, as the ice on the side walks caused me some concern and too much foot / ankle work to bother. I am going to make some cinnamin buns and hot cocoa for now..... The Sun is going to come out and this will all melt away soon!
