Cute video Erica. JudyN I hope all goes well with Jasper and his stitches.
My dogs have been rather bored the past couple of days. Too cold, icy and windy for OH to take them to the park for an afternoon walk and I haven't tried to even get the van open as I have been trying to get into work early, in the hopes of getting off a little early and thus avoiding travel during darkness when everything really freezes up.
OH got creative earlier this week and made some pumpkin cookie dog treats, seemingly from scratch including the recipe, of which there doesn't appear to be one. The dogs absolutely love the cookies.

OH started giving each dog a cookie when they would come in from outside. I think it only took one time and the dogs now come in the house and go straight to the table to wait for their cookie.

Then they stand there with sad eyes hoping they will be given another one. OH said they were playing with him today. They would go out for 10 or 15 minutes, then come in for a cookie, and then 30 minutes or so later, ask to go out again, only to come back in 10 for 15 minutes later to get a cookie.
They probably had good reason for not staying out any longer other than just wanting cookies though. The high today was to be 10 F with a wind chill bringing it down to about 3F. I think one weather report said -20C. While the samoyeds may thrive in this kind of weather, it is a bit chilly for my two.
Speaking of samoyeds.......PUPPIES!!!!! born within the club.(icannothaveapuppyicannothaveapuppyicannothaveapuppy) I may get to see them this weekend. In the meantime, there is live streaming video of their whelping box that I can enjoy. I really like this dam and this is her last litter. There are some others in the line that I am less enthusiastic about. Were the timing different, I would have a much harder time resisting the urge to get one of the puppies. But, I don't want a puppy to pick up the issues that my two have, so it is no puppy for now. That's my story and I'm sticking to it and repeating it to myself over and over and over.

Grammy to Sky and Sirius, who came to live with me, stole my heart, and changed my life forever as I took over their care and learned how to be a dog owner.
