First Blast of Winter - December 2009

Well it finally arrived, that first cold blast of winter.  Janey and Uly certainly enjoyed the first snowfall.  Not so much for myself who this year has to get a new winter coat (ruined the zipper off my old one) that I found out the hard way is no longer water resistant.  Same with the boots.  Time to go for the heavy artic gear. 


I decided to grab the camera and take a break from sewing to see what the dogs were up to in the backyard.  Janey found some frozen flip flops from the summer time and had fun digging them up.  Uly found a few frozen toys that he dug up too and after a good game of chase and keep away they both started looking in to see where I was.  I cracked up laughing because they have made the windows so dirty to look out of could can see the paw prints in the photos. 


Christmas is just around the corner and I've bought both dogs some gourmet cookies that I've locked safely away in the office.  Same with the presents.  They'll just have to wait like the rest of us to see what Santa brought them.  I'm guessing some squeaky toys and a few giant knuckle bones.  Both love the smoked variety with a few good bully sticks thrown in.
