My?? Dog

I was surfing this morning on MSN and the home page had a link to "Best pet for you by zodiac sign." So I had to see what they thought the "best pet" for me would be. Hummm, a Bernese Mountain Dog. They are beautiful, that's for sure, but I'm not sure it would fit into my lifestyle at the moment.

According to Pets 911, they are very loving - wonder if they like cats?

So check out the web site & let me know what pet was picked for you.

OK, it was SUPPOSED to warm up a bit last night....it snowed instead. See that car in our driveway by the lamppost? It was cleaned of snow yesterday. There was about 2" more on top this morning at about 9:30 AM. It's 33 degree F right now with occasional snow showers. Once again, it is supposed to warm up tonight. We will see.


This tree was supposed to have the snow all gone.


It must have warmed up a bit. There are icicles hanging from our back porch roof.


I tried to get Cindy to settle down. So I put her favorite puppy in the chair & she cuddled right up.


I didn't put that stuffed animal on top of her, she snuggled under it & turned around until it was where you see it. The tree is safe for awhile.



Oh, and here is a headline from the local paper:

Snow, then rain, then snow again
A weather system blew into the Puget Sound overnight, bringing a dusting of snow to some parts of the region -- and making for slushy, slippery roads. But rain is already falling in some places, and more snow is in the forecast for Christmas.

White Christmas

Merry Christmas!! We are spending a quiet day at home. Presents have been opened and I'll be starting dinner soon. We received one extra present this afternoon, it started to snow.

Now, since we live in the Pac NW, it will turn to rain soon, I'm sure. But, for now, we have our white Christmas.

Today is also the day my SG friend, Bobbie, & her DH are taking their beloved dog, Duncan, to the Washington State University Vet School. Duncan has a nasal cavity tumor. We are all praying and sending warm healthy thoughts to them. You can read more about this on Bobbie's blog.

The fur kids

These are the two fur kids in the house - Sammy and Cindy. We got them from the shelter last March. Sammy (orange tabby) is 7 and was relinquished by folks whose daughter had gone off to college. Cindy is 1 1/2 and was a stray. As you can see, they get along just fine.
