2 Dog Night

Sleeping with two dogs in a bed is not much fun. One stretches out as far as she can, while the other walks on my kidneys during the night. Thank goodness that Kelsey returned from her snow adventure up at Silver Mountain. She stayed overnight with friends and didn't make it back. "B" missed her so much. But the dog comforted himself with us in the bed.

New Dog (as hubby refers to her) is getting used to us. She is putting on weight. She is playing with the other dogs. She even ran around the house tonight when we all ran around with "B". Can you even IMAGINE 3 dogs running around the house - while Bravo makes hot laps, the other two follow him. Then Kelsey and I were running around, too.

Hubby and I took Isabelle & Harriet with us today. Kelsey stayed home with "B" to give him some special one on one time. Hubby and I went to Starbucks (yum), got gas at Costco, shopped for groceries at Wally-World, and picked up burritos at Qdoba Mexican grill. Oh. Almost forgot. Also got COCONUT bread at Great Harvest Bread Company. (double yum)

We had a high of 45F degrees today. Snow is melting everywhere making everything a mess. It is astonishing to be able to see our driveway rocks again after so much snow! Hubby is not worried so much anymore-he was quite panicky about the buildings falling down. Even called our insurance company to make sure we have adequate coverage in case there is a problem.

While we were in town today, we gave the dogs a bath. And Harriet has such a sweet, docile attitude when it comes to taking a bath. It even calmed Isabelle down and she acted much better than she usually does. Harriet shivered directly afterwards, but we made sure that she was thoroughly blow dried & towel dried. We started the truck up directly so she could be contently warm. Isabelle stood still during her bath and we didn't have to cope with the full brakes on the full-size massive Mastiff 'tude that she usually exhibits! She walked up the ramp (instead of being dragged/pushed) she stood calmly while mommy sprayed warm soapy water on her (instead of pulling away) and she even sweetly walked out to the truck (instead of shivering in shock)!

By the way, what was YOUR New Year's Resolution?

Never again to make a New Year's resolution. It's the only way not to break them and not to be disappointed when you break them, whether it's your fault or somebody else's fault.
The new dog looks gorgeous, as gorgeous as Izzy. :)

Happy New Year and best wishes. :)
