Snow Day

In like a Lion, out like...an even bigger Lion? The morning of March 29 greeted us with a couple of inches of wet, heavy snow. So after the kids excitedly cleared the driveway and sidewalks, it was time for Dakota's first experience with snow.

He was fairly tentative at first. But once he figured out he could put snow in his mouth, he began to run around like most pups in the snow.

Dakota - 12 weeks

Dakota has learned the magical wonders of stairs. They are not just to transcend levels, but also a playground and a great place to perch and watch where everyone is going. He is not deathly afraid of the outdoors like he was at first, but he is still pretty skittish about wind and anything that makes noise. But the upside is there are 10.000 new things to put in his mouth. Ahhh, puppies.

New Arrival

The newest addition to the household was born on December 29, 2008. He is nine weeks old in these pictures and is named Dakota. He is a Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie). More to follow....


















He is the one in the middle with two of his brothers. The last picture is his Mom, Sassy.
