Bathtime or boredom!

I think I need to get out of my house! Today, for the 3rd day in a row, I have been stuck in my apartment. Cleaning, dished, laundry...there's only so much to do, right? How about give the dogs a bath? I attempted this task for the first time since they were puppies. Normally, they take a trip to the pet spa down the road (partly because it's only about $10 per dog to groom them and partly because it's one less day they have to be in their cage while I am at work). Today, I thought, why not?! Here are some pictures from the event:


Doyle, getting ready for his bath (He really liked this!)



Relaxing...nice and clean!


Sophie, really nervous about what was going to happen!

Blizzard!





Over the last 24 hours or so, we have gotten well over a foot of snow. It is now extremely windy, so the drifts are quite high. I am off of school for the second day in a row because of the storm!! Sophie and Doyle love snow days because they get to spend the day being my little shadows. But they really hate to hear the words "Do you want to go out?" Poor little Doyle never gains weight and has no fat on him at all. He shivers and sticks his tail between his legs as soon as he hits the snow. I have to drag Sophie out the door because she hates the snow so much! Here are some pictures from this morning on our trip outside Though their "spot" is only about 10 feet from my front door, I say "trip" because it takes quite a bit of hiking to get there today!

My Attack Cat


Avery's new thing is hiding anywhere and everywhere, waiting until no one suspects anything, and attacking whoever walks by. Sometimes, she catches me by surprise, but I have gotten a few pictures while she waits for her prey!
