First snow

This was written last week when the weather-people were predicting up to 30cm of snow (what a tease!)

So... it's been snowing out, but the "blizzard of the century" never arrived.  The 4-inches of the century, however, DID arrive and that's good enough for me. For now. It's nice and white out there now and the evil-creek-from-hell is starting to freeze over, yippeee! Hopefully it won't try to steal any other things of mine until spring.

The punks get rowdy! I love this shot, as this is a common occurrence everytime I let these yahoos out of the pen. Jack and Harris attack each other, ususally right in front of me, knocking me over but this was one rare moment where they were a safe distance from me.  Notice how trouble-maker Gracie is right in there, usually jumping and (lovingly) biting the head of one of the boys.

God I hate this new blogger and the way it formats text and pictures. I've tried messing with the code with all my new knowledge from my web design class... let's see if it works! Until I get my own website up and running... Ooh, I think it worked.  No annoying screwed up wrap-around text. wooo!!

Random pic of the day:

My ceiling! Took me like 2 months to add on the last 6 boards, god have I mentioned how much I truly hated that job? I think I would have been ok with it if it didn't go on FOREVER!!!!  But it's done yay.

Ivy says "hi" to Reuben the blue heeler...


Yes, she is a little darling - he respects her authorit-ay though! We're having a few "issues" with him and other males, but you can see he's certainly not scared of Ivy, his tail is going 100miles/hr, he really just wants to play (or hump) her, but I think he knows that mounting Ivy would be pretty much a death wish. The males he would like to eat sometimes. But! We are figuring things out and he's become a pretty good little guard dog as evidenced by his attitude when Dave and Heather came over on the weekend. He was really apprehensive and even started growling at these strangers (oh, if he only knew just how "strange" they are!! haha, sorry D/H, they rarely read this, but just in case...).

This non-husky behaviour, is weird, and having another breed around here really made me see how "different" all my dogs are. We'll see if we have an effect on poor Reuben after a few months!  He may become obsessed with fetch (right now he could care less), start peeing on everything - oh wait! He already does that. I'm sure we'll just be nothing but a good influence.  And Pooh Bear is starting to flirt with him, she's not even annoying him now by slowly wandering over to him in the cabin and standing on top of him!  I hear this breed likes a bit of "personal space" well, PB does not know the meaning of "personal space"!! Not even close. She has zero boundaries and everybody else's space is HER space. So the fact that he can put up with HER says a lot!

Ooh! You talking 'bout MEEEE!?!??!
