Blazingstar Morning

The girls and I headed out to Blazingstar this morning for a walk.  We were looking for a change of scenery and as an added bonus, we got company as well!

Coulee was her usual anti-social self.  We didn't throw any toys so she resorted to searching for sticks and by the end was actually just sniffing and enjoying herself... in between sessions of beating up Lacey.

Liz and Andy's flatcoats are not only gorgeous but incredibly well behaved.  Cava is just a young girl, but she is amazingly mature.

Tinbie is a bit of a wild man (with a bit of a thing for Lacey) but he is wild in a fun way, not an obnoxious way.  :)

I didn't get any decent pictures of sweet Lupine.  I had a tonne of out of focus pictures this morning (Do you think the cold could affect the focusing?  Either that, or my lens or camera might need a tune up! I hope it is just the cold.)

Thanks Liz and gang for a fun walk!

Daily Routine

She's on my ass again???

Gotta ditch the little sister

Turning on the burners.

This last one really made me laugh.  Coulee looks so relaxed now that Lacey isn't hot on her heels and Lacey looks oblivious to the annoyance she caused and is still trying to catch up and continue the game.

All About Coulee

Apparently today Coulee was a camera hog.

I thought maybe I should show her looking a little more graceful than last time.

I'd like to say this is her zooming at full speed, but it was near the end of our hour walk where she ran up and down the coulee's so, she actually isn't travelling that fast anymore.

But look - you can actually see her collar!  It is one of the ones I have from Nearly Naked Neckwear. It is actually one I bought for Lacey, but it looks pretty nice on Coulee too.  I love the way they have almost the same neck size (scary eh?  They are only 1/2" different!)

The road to the dog park is still closed.  The flat land at the bottom next to the river is where we usually walk, but with the road closed, we've been hanging out at the top of the coulees instead.  I can throw the frisbee for miles off the top of the coulees or let Coulee really stretch her legs in the neighbouring farmer's field.  It has been nice to have a bit of a change, but after a few weeks, I'm really, really tired of the same old, same old.  I think I'm going to go somewhere different tomorrow.

Slipping and Sliding

Coulee did some tobogganing yesterday.  She had quite a lot of fun sliding down the hill and I had a lot of fun watching!

Timing

Coulee usually impresses me with her sense of timing and amazing ability to time her mid air catches perfectly.  Today... not so much.

I love the way she looks shocked at her own misses. :)

The Boys

Weekend in Pictures.

The boys stayed with us this weekend.  They were good as usual.  Vito kept Lacey entertained and well Boone, he always keeps us entertained.  He is such a quirky guy.  We went on lots of walks and hunkered down the best we could out of the wind.

Vito

Boone in a snow drift. LOL

The frisbee stayed like this all the way back, I'm not sure how Coulee saw where she was going!

Boone being feisty and cute!

It was so windy Vito's tail and ears are going in the wrong direction.

Don't you just love his pointy nose?

Sporting the Trump comb over.

Even Coulee was getting goofy in the wind.

Can you see how Marlin is angling into the wind?  And yes those are paw prints on his chest.  We were crouched down for most of the walk and a certain grey dog likes to take advantage of this.

Vito is just so cute!

Smiley!

Um.... Amanda.... I think they are going to need a bath.  :)
