Sofie and I just received our Valentine's Day Gift.  We got to eat Ritz crackers with peanut butter.  We also got a drizzle of honey in the middle of our plate! Mine is definitely the sweet life.  My LADY got earrings.  She said that her Vida is pretty Dolce, too.  THE TALL MAN got fancy Tito's Handmade Vodka.  He said that his gift is also sweet, depending on what he uses as a cocktail mixer. 

• coffee grounds
  
• dried leaves
• curious looking cricket
  
• whole black pepper corns (who leaves that on the floor?  I mean really!)
  
• a sticker on a placemat
  
• Deeroff brand deer repellent [rotten eggs and hot red pepper are its main ingredients]
  
• mud puddle with a motor oil slick
  
• the plastic eyeball on my stuffed animal frog
  
• dryer lint
  

Don't worry, my LADY stopped me from eating these things.  Exploring the world though my mouth can be untastey sometimes.  It's dangerous other times, too.     

Although Sofie does have a cute white tip of fur on her tail, that's not what you see above.  She broke her tail last night.  She not telling anyone how; maybe she's embarassed. When we all woke up, there was a blood spray on the wall, and blood toward the bottom on her long monkey tail.  The vet put it in a splint.  We thought she was going to lose the end of her tail, but the vet didn't take it off.  We hope she will recooperate without any problems.  Poor girl. 

My LADY's second attempt at doggie couture was much more successful.  I expect Marshals to begin selling knockoffs by the spring. 

Sofie got a two foot long bully stick.  I've been  helping her eat it, since she is a little slow.  I got dog treats and a hairbrush.  Hairbrushes are a dumb gift, by the way.  I'm just sayin'...  

Maggie and Sofie wish you the best of Christmases.  May your bed be soft, your fur dry, and may your kibble be dotted with tasty treats. Most of all, may you have someone you love to share all of this.

A new winter storm is blowing in.  My orange coat fastens over the belly.  My belly hangs so low that I was scooping up snow with my coat.  My LADY made me a new coat this morning that fastens on my back and should keep me from being the world's smallest snow plow.   We took a test run, and my belly stayed dry, but the scarf needs a trim.  My outfit needs some work, but her first attempt was pretty good.  






                             

Tastes like cold.

...to put this bed under the tree for me. zzzzzzzzzzzzz

While we were enjoying Thanksgiving at Grandma's house in Grayson County, VA we also picked up our Christmas tree.  I could see for miles and miles, but the wind almost blew me away!  Click on the play icon above to start the slideshow.
