Hey Everyone...

It's an absolutely beautiful white snowy day here in Northeast Ohio. Well... beautiful as long as I don't have to go out for long in it anyway. Mike and Gidget (possibly changing to Katie.. tell you about that in a minute) really love the new snow. Mike still has a problem with his leg, but he's managing to (almost) run between the snowflakes, and the Little One just bounces like a rabbit in shoulder deep snow (even though I shoveled a path for her... she'd rather be adventurous and explore the deep stuff).

Mike had yellow pee this morning.. I was so happy, but then when he went again, there was a tinge of red. Oh how I wish this would change back to pure yellow. As I said, his leg is much better, or at least was when he first got up this morning. Going outside seemed to tighten up the muscles, so until it warms up again, he limps a bit more on it and holds it up again. My poor guy... he's such a trooper.

I know he's feeling better though because he's been wanting to play with his little sister more and more. I wish I had a video of them playing last night. He would do to her what I do to him, and that is... pretend he's going to chase her and watch her run. Mike and I have played this game since he was a puppy (well, a year old when I got him)... I get on the floor and pounce my hands on the floor or stand up and tap my foot like I'm going to run, and he just runs and runs around in circles. It's so cute to see him doing that with Gidget.

All day yesterday, I kept accidentally calling Gidget Katie. Katie was a mini schnauzer I had about 15 or 20 years ago. (So I guess it really hasn't been 30 years since I've had a puppy. LOL) Anyway... I've already called her Katie maybe 7 or 8 times already today (by accident). She answers to both... so I'm thinking her new forever name is going to be Katie. Go figure... when I couldn't think of a name for her, Katie never popped into my mind, and now that I "had" a name for her (which is very cute and she kind of looks like a Gidget)... I find out that is NOT what her name is suppose to be. Yi yi yi... It's pretty bad when you name your dog and can't even remember her name. I guess the powers that be are trying to tell me something. LOL

Sooooooooo.... now I have to go back and change everything that says Gidget on it and change it to Katie. I'll call the vet and make sure they change it too. Now watch... I'll start calling her Gidget by mistake.... (wish they had emoticons on this thing so I could add them on here... it's weird trying to get use to not having them here).

Ok.. gonna get going and take Miss Katie out again. If Mr Mike wants out, I'll take him out too, but I think he's had enough cold for awhile, it's up to him.

Love and Blessings To You All
