Sadie:  My ear may be messed up from my three ear hematomas, but my head still works!  I can still tilt my head both directions!

Just like people and dogs, some Peeps are bigger than other Peeps, but I swear this one grew overnight!

Colorado’s snowiest months are March and April and that fact was proved once again yesterday.  Just when it was nice and warm and the sun had melted all the snow from the last snowstorm, we got dumped on again.

You can’t let those 60 degrees days fool you this time of year.   People are walking around wearing shorts one day and the next day, they have down jackets on, thanks to more snow.  The calendar might say “spring,” but the backyard says “winter” right now!

“Monkey See, Monkey Do” is a really old saying that means learning something without understanding why or being concerned about the consequences.

Ir seems that we have a good example of Monkey See, Monkey Do at our house right now, as Sadie has recently been found pulling up grass in our backyard and eating it along with dirt.  What are the consequences of that behavior (which totally models what Molly and I have been doing for several years)?  Sadie has begun to vomit up grass and dirt in the middle of the night, just like Molly and I have done repeatedly after our backyard foraging and now Wen has to go outside with us and police all three of us.

Yep, Monkey See, Monkey Do!

My gorgeous sister, Molly who cranks along with nothing ever going wrong had a rough start to today.  After we Scotties ate our breakfast, Molly proceeded to vomit up her undigested food along with a bunch of dirt from the backyard.  She didn’t vomit just once.  Oh, no, she vomited SEVEN times until there was nothing left in her stomach to come back up.

Wen checked Molly’s color and it was just fine.  She took Molly’s temperature and it was normal and then after her vomiting stint, Molly ran around like a normal dog.  Several hours later, you’d never know that she had been so sick.

i guess you can blame the vomiting on the fact that we Scotties are terriers.  We earth dogs love to dig holes and we can’t resist snacking on the dirt that we displace.  Maybe we should try to cut back on the amount of dirt we eat.  Yeah, like that’s going to happen!

Whenever Wen watches TV, especially early in the morning, I like to make my presence known.  Yep, I jump up on the couch and sit on her lap or scooch up right next to her so that she knows for sure that her best buddy is right there.  My nose knows that it has to be right in the middle of things and so when she watches TV, I like to watch her watching TV.  I never pass up an opportunity for quality time!

Normally when we get a snowstorm, the sun kicks in afterwards and the snow is gone in a couple of days.  Not this time!  We had so much snow and huge drifts that the snow was higher than our deck in our backyard and Wen eventually had to plow us Scotties a path down the steps and across the yard.

Now, three days after the storm ended, we still have a backyard wonderland of snow and we Scotties are still using the path Wen plowed so we could get off the deck and around the yard.  Never before has she been forced to shovel snow for four days straight.  What an unusual experience this storm has been for all of us!

Top o’ the mornin’ to ya!  Have a happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone!  Don’t forget to wear green, because everybody’s Irish today!

Well, we got a huge blizzard and it’s still snowing.  It’s truly a whopper of a snowstorm and the snow is now up as high as our deck in the backyard.  Wen has shoveled off the deck three times so far so we Scotties have a place to go outside, since there’s no way for us to get to the deck steps, much less the grass.

We got much more snow than we expected and there are four foot drifts next to our driveway, where Wen has shoveled.  She tried to use the snow blower, but the snow is so deep, wet, and heavy that it couldn’t handle it, so the snow removal has been quite a task.

What do we Scotties do on a snowy day?  After we come in from exploring outside, Sadie and I settle in by the fireplace and Molly snuggles on the couch.  With a whopper snowstorm like this one, We’ll be spending lots of quality time staying warm inside.

One of Wen’s Scottie club friends dropped off two Scotties that were desperately in need of a new coat of paint.  Wen had agreed to spray paint them to freshen them up so they would look good as items to be auctioned off at this year’s Scottie club auction benefiting Rocky Mountain Scottie Rescue.

One of the items was a heavy cast iron Scottie and the other was a large chunky wooden Scottie and when Wen brought them in, Molly, Sadie, and I were curious, so we had to sniff around and check them out.  After all, anything different that we notice in our house has to be checked out and Scottie approved!
