Hey Michelle... You and I were posting here at the same time. LOL (great minds). When I saw all the snow yesterday, I couldn't help but picture Syd and Charlie and Jack all romping in the three to four foot drifts my backyard. What a sight they would have been. :-D If I ever get out of my drive again, I'm going to get a couple cans of pumpkin and keep them handy in case of emergency. Thank you both for telling me about it.

Hey Judy... Thanks for showing Cindy how to post (tee hee). Poor Rylee... wanting to play and no one wants to play with her. It looks like the snow might start melting with the warm up coming, but there's so much of it that I'm sure she'll still have plenty left to play in for awhile.

Hey Cindy... I'm sooooo glad you got to post. I love when people post here.. kind of feels like old times (if you know what I mean LOL). I love the pictures of the furkids... they look kind of bewildered (what IS all this white stuff???) LOL. They are sooooo cute... I just want to pick them all up and give them squeezes.

I've got a call in to the Mobile Vet (got voice mail). They gave an emergency phone number that's not too far from here. I'm wondering if this vet has his own practice fairly close to me. That's what it seems like. I guess I'll find out when they call.

Mike finally gave in yesterday after I tried to clear another foot or two of snow. He is now "unbound".... thank God!!! And... some REALLY GOOD NEWS.... his leg is soooooo much better. When he woke up he barely had a limp!!! He went out, and when he came in he was still walking really well on it. I'm so happy. I hope it stays this way now and just gets better.

We had a circus here last night. Mike would "not" leave his sister alone. Of course, she didn't mind at all. I was trying to watch a movie, but all I could do was watch them play, grab at each other and run around and tackle each other. It was so funny to watch. It all started when Mike was doing his "Happy Dance" and the little one pounced right on his belly.... scared the crap out of Mike, but I laughed my butt off... especially when he got up and started chasing her. It went like that on and off for almost an hour until they were both pooped out. Then it started up again after they got a second wind.

Miss Katie is just so darn tiny... I'm hoping she grows a little bit cuz I keep (almost) tripping on her. It wouldn't be so bad but until she learned "not" to walk in between my feet, I was really afraid I'd step on her... OUCH!!! She was 6 months old on the 7th, and although I'm sure she gained a pound or two (the way she eats, I'd be surprised if she didn't )... she's still so little. She only weighed 6 pounds at the vet two weeks ago... she's probably 7 or 8 pounds now.

She follows me and her big brother around everyplace we go, and it seems like she's really alot learning from him. I've learned that if she doesn't go out to go potty, all I have to do is let Mike out first and let her watch. When he comes in, she just walks out by herself and does her thing without my having to keep "making" her stay outside until she goes. He's such a good teacher!!

When I give them a treat in the kitchen.. she use to stay in the kitchen and eat it... but now, she follows Mike into the living room and eats it right next to him. Yep... they're getting to be quite a pair. And, Cindy, you're right... Mike does seem to have more spunk in him now and more energy since she's been around. Especially in the past four or five days since he's pretty much accepted her and learned to enjoy her and the new "playing" games that he never had before by being an only child. I'm so glad I got her. Now I really "do" feel like she is "his" dog.

He's started to let her cuddle against him (as long as she stays away from his face), and when she does something wrong... she will immediately run to him and sit as close to him as she could. She doesn't realize that she's tattling on herself when she does this. LOL But he lets her "hide" there,.

Ya know, being snowed in is "not" exciting... but having the two of them here and watching them play unendingly really gives me some great entertainment.

Ok.. gonna go shower up. I'll catch you all later. If you want to comment, just click on the "comment" link on the bottom of the post. It will open up a window, and you should be able to leave a comment then... (or ask Judy like Cindy did.. she'll help you out :-D )
