February Blahs

So February has started off as a bit of a downer.

First, and most importantly, our friends Rob and Joce had to say good-bye to their old girl Bee on the weekend. This is a pic of Bee and her sister, Keeper. Bee was a super cool old girl and she did great up until her last few days. She was a true survivor and made me just fall in love with senior citizen GSPs.

RIP sweet Bee (1996-2010)

Second, my football team lost yesterday. Sigh! Now, I'm not upset up N.O. winning, 'cuz I think they are a city that could use some good news. It was just that Indy blew it on a bad pass by Peyton. Oh well. There's always next year.

Third, darn Razzie hasn't gone in to heat yet, which could throw a serious wrench into our travel plans. (Can't kennel a hot dog!) Well, we have three weeks until we start to panic!

And just one for the road, here's what Booger gets up to when he's bored.

Christmas is going to the dogs ...

We had a lovely dinner at our friends, Rob and Joce's, last night. Those of you who know our dogs have probably heard us talk about Rob and Joce -- who also live in the neighbourhood and have two GSPs. So no, it's not me talking in the third person.

Joce made some of her amazing chili and I test-drove a gluten-free Black Forest trifle. Joce said I'm more than welcome to continue test-driving desserts on her, so it must have been okay. Now, I have my contribution to Christmas dinner at John and Rachel's all set!

The dogs were also warmly welcomed and they ate, well, whatever they could get their snouts on frankly! (Plus a few pup-sicles from outside, on Razzie's part. Eww!) Bogey even came home with a present -- a ball-toy that neither Bee, 13, or Keeper, 8, play with. Score!

Now, I meant to get a picture of all four dogs together, but I forgot (again!). Will try to get one of them all over the holidays. Here is a previous picture of taken of the girls (previously referred to as Bo's harem before Razzie joined the Everbell zoo!)
