First I want to say Happy Birthday to my granddaughter who turns 3 today!  Woo Hoo Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!

Follow-Up Friday Blog Hop

Just a reminder there is no FUF blog hop tomorrow.  I will do a follow-up post over the weekend, but tomorrow I am participating in The Pet Blogger Challenge hosted by Go Pet Friendly and I Still Want More Puppies.

Are you participating?  I’m super excited to be participating.  The hop is slightly different this year, but I think it will still be fun.

Nosework Class

Delilah and I had our last nose work class on Tuesday night.  It had been four weeks since we’d been in class and it really showed with Delilah.  Ariane shot some video for us and as soon as I get it uploaded to youtube, I’ll write a post about it.  In the meantime, while other dogs are doing a search, Delilah and I will stand on the sidelines and practicing sits, or downs or even touch.

I played with the magic function on my camera and took this photo using “Dramatic,” I think it came out really cool.

And finally this photo is for you Jen.  You may remember a couple of months ago Jen had a contest on her blog called own that slobber (or something like that.)  Well I took this photo of Delilah on one of our hikes.

Can anyone explain to me HOW she got like this?  I haven’t a clue. 🙂

That’s it for me, catch you tomorrow for the Pet Blogger challenge.

Thanks to our hosts, 2 Brown Dawgs and Ruckus the Eskie!

Caption the Photo – January 8, 2014

WW 1-8-14 Can you caption this photo?

I already have an idea of how I’d caption it, but let me know what you think.  I’ll share the answer this weekend.  I will be participating in the Go Pet Friendly blogging challenge this Friday so there will be no Follow-Up Friday blog hop.

Winter Wonderland

By

Last week Sampson, Delilah and I were lucky enough to take a walk during a snowfall.  I love walking with my dogs in the woods when it’s snowing.  There is something so peaceful and beautiful about falling snow.

Winter Walk 1 The trees are blanketed in winter white and the outside world is muffled to our ears.

Winter Walk 2

I love watching the dogs enjoy the snow.  Because all of the good smells aren’t right on the surface, they have a tendency to bury their noses, which makes for some really cute photos.

Like this one.

Winter Walk 3 Sampson with a ‘soul patch.’

Or this one.

Winter Walk 4 Delilah with a frosted nose.

The only thing about freshly fallen snow I don’t like, is that it fades too fast.  Within a day the snow is all marked up with foot prints and dirt.

Snow is best enjoyed fresh.  Have you ever had the wonderful experience of walking in freshly fallen snow?  Those of you who get snow, do your dogs like it or not?  For those of you who don’t what types of walks do your dogs prefer?
