Snow Doggies

Happy Doggy Day! If you only stop by on Thursdays, scroll back and check out Sully, the 2yo Brittany Spaniel who we helped to transport to his foster home this past weekend. I just checked out his petfinder page and saw that he is marked as adopted - yea!!!

The kids have been thrilled with all the snow this week and Mommy's got the pictures to prove it!

My snowbunny Lola...

For all my Thursday doggy readers, you'll find some more "winter crap wonderland" shots like this one if you scroll back too...

If Lola is the snowbunny, I guess that makes Sophie the snow princess...

Tut loves zipping around in the white stuff...

"If Sophie's the snow princess, then I am the snow King Tut..."

Zeus was looking for his winter birdie friends (ssh! don't tell him Bad Mommy forgot to fill the feeders)...

"Mommy, mummy, ma... did youz cez dem??? They flewz over datta way! I getz em!"

"Okayz Mum... I comz in now...but I don't wanna!"

Winter Wonderland

Happy Wordless Wednesday! The good news? It has stopped snowing... for now ... and it actually looks pretty cool!

Winter wonderland...

Look at that sun and sky...

My morning drive is even pretty when the roads are clear!

2yo SWM Looking for a Loving Home

Here he is.... meet Sully, the loveable 2 year old Brittany gentleman that we helped transport to his foster home on Sunday. Be sure to check out his Petfinder page!

We had the second to last leg of his 2 day journey (the last one was actually his foster Mom taking him home), so Sully was a bit tired by the time he reached us. That didn't stop his curiosity however... he really enjoyed riding and watching out the window.

Sully, ready for his close up... has he stolen your heart yet?

He's a wonderful boy looking for his forever home, so if you know anyone interested please pass his information along to them.

Today was another snow day here... Thankfully the drive wasn't like yesterday, but it did snow all day... Hard to believe it was 50 degrees this past Saturday!

Snow Day

It certainly is a snow day here, however I'm sad to say, I am working. This was my drive in this morning...

Once I crossed into the next town the roads got a tiny bit better, but not much.

We did the second to last leg of Sully's transport last night and fortunately got home well before the real snow started. Sully was an absolute love and was wonderful in the car (poor guy had been riding for two days). I did take some pictures of him (although it was dark and he was a bit tired) and they will be coming soon, promise! In the meantime, check out his Petfinder page! Anyone interested in an adorable 2 year old male brittany that's full of kisses and love for his new family?

FO Friday

TGIF! Are you as ready for the weekend as I am? The season premiere of 24 is Sunday night and I can. not. wait. Jack's back and he brought along Freddie Prinze Jr! I plan on settling in Sunday night with my favorite snack as of late...

Hot chocolate and Trader Joe's Candy Cane Joe-Joe's! I'm not sure if they are only around for Christmas or if Trader Joe's got smart and stocks them all winter... but if you can find a box, grab them!!! mmm...

I'm hoping to get some knitting done this weekend too, especially since there really hasn't been much of it going on lately. I have a FO report from a few weeks ago... another cross-stitch scarf, which is a Christmas gift for a family member who we've yet to see to give it to. This has become my go-to scarf and it seems like I always have one on the needles for no-brainer knitting on the go or in front of the TV. Its a 2 row repeat that produces quite a lovely fabric...

Yarn is Patons SWS in Natural Violet colorway. I heart this colorway!

If you Ravel-stock me, you'll see that I have plenty of WIPs, as always. I'd like to finish off my Alpaca Mitts soon and I've just picked up the Chevron blanket again.

With friends expecting a baby girl in a couple of months, I thought this would be the perfect gift. I had cast this on last April, then I think I got bored with it or else just got a raging case of startitis and tossed this aside in a pile... but now the needles are clicking again!

Almost Friday

Happy Doggy Day aka Little Friday as Chan would say! Zeus just says "Is it the weekend yet?"

The girls enjoyed having sick Mommy home from work at the beginning of the week. They didn't even seem to mind me sneezing on them from time to time...

When it came time for Mommy to get off the couch and back to the real world, the kids got back to their usual weekday breakfast treat routine... one right before I hop into the shower and one when I leave for work. Apparently Sophie wasn't having any of it... seems Princess would rather Mommy just stay home, even if that means she might not get two breakfast treats in the morning (she was moping on the couch when her siblings took this group shot)...

I will be participating in my first Brittany Rescue transport this weekend and am very excited to be helping out (especially now that our fostering is limited)! We'll be doing a leg with a 2 year old male brit who is traveling from his temporary foster home in TN to his NH foster home. Thanks to Dianne for getting me involved with this great transport team! We're looking forward to the day that we get to transport the same dog(s), but it won't be this trip.

Winter Classic part 3

Now, for the conclusion of the Winter Classic photo-heavy posts... the game!

The Bruins tied up the game late in the third period...

Denis Leary and Lenny Clarke came out to lead Fenway Faithful in the singing of "Sweet Caroline."

We couldn't have asked for a better game... and ending! The Bruins won 2 - 1 in Overtime!

Nothing like fireworks over Fenway to end a cold day...

What a great game experience...

For those of you who asked "was it cold?," the answer is YES. Layers were key! Here are the "before" and "after" self-portrait shots to give you an idea...

After the game was over, the NHL did a ceremony announcing the USA Olympic Men's hockey team. Congratulations to our own Timmy Thomas!!!

Although I already posted it, I will again since I did spend $25 for it ... the "official" photo. Cool, huh?
