snowing...again

Sorry for the delay in blogging....six sheltie dogs and a full time job will keep one busy; add in nine puppies and you'll go into OVERLOAD.

The puppies are great and 5 of the nine have graduated on to their new homes.
First, Topaz went to his new home in Fairview on 1/23/2010, and is now known as Jaxson.

Later in the same day, Opal met her new family and she now resides in Georgia.

On 1/24/2010, Garnet met her new family and is now named Dottie.


The next group of puppies were due to go to their new homes on 1/30/2010. However, when the weather forecast said SNOW for this weekend, plans changed and Onyx's new family came up from Florida to get their new puppy on 1/28/2010. Onyx is now known as Archie and is happily adjusting to warmer and nicer weather with his new family.



Diamond's new family adopted her on 1/28/2010 as well, her new name is Dory.


And then came the snow. Well, I have no control over this. It's creating quite a stir at our house and for my friend Michele...as she is scheduled to come pick up her new baby Jasper on Sunday. But the news forecast calls for snow, snow, and more snow. So we'll just consult the Sheltie Weather Forecasters.


Yep, it's snowing!

Snow dogs

Here's a picture from the snow storm that hit us on 12/18/2009. That's Alan with a bin going to get more wood for the fire, with shelties Emma, Figaro, and Angus "helping" him bring in the wood. Now usually in the south the snow falls one day and looks pretty, and the next day its gone.

Well folks we still have snow on the ground and more predicted. The weather is too bitter and the puppies are too small for them to go outside; but the adult shelties all seem to enjoy the white stuff. I can't say the same for myself, this cold is just too penetrating.

So today I think I'll stay inside and play with the puppies and let the adult shelties roam outside in the fenced yard from time to time. But here is the video we took from the big snowfall on 12/18/09.
