Pagli's First Snow!!


We woke this morning to find a nice blanket of snow on the ground! I dressed Pagli in his new sweater and out we went! He didn't hesitate and like the puppy he is, dug right in!! He played in the snow just like it was a new toy! So much for clean floors.... puppy paw prints are the new design on my floors!
I worked around the house today... even got out a few Christmas decorations. Hung my Moravian Star on the porch and now it feels like Christmas.
Don't know about a tree... think it would be just way too much temptation for Pagli and lots of stress for me... We'll see...

Happy Thanksgiving!!


Pagli and I had a very nice Thanksgiving. Denver was supposed to get hit with a winter storm today... but we dodged the bullet and woke to a cloudy, cool day, but dry and relatively nice.
We took a nice long walk and came back home to watch the National Dog Show. When they didn't give Best in Class to the Bichon, we knew the judges had been paid off, so we turned off the TV and took our bathes. We had planned to spend a quiet day at home but got a better invitation.
The Burchfields invited us to Thanksgiving Dinner at their house and wouldn't take "no" for an answer, so we cleaned up, baked the traditional Sweet Potato Casserole, packed a bottle of wine and headed to Centennial.
Notice Pagli's new Tarten Plaid holiday sweater. Our hostess Nancy makes these cute things and Pagli's pic is going on her website!
Pagli was the life of the party and had two other doggies to follow around! Two labs who didn't really think of Pagli as a dog... more of a toy! He was friendly and very well behaved and was absolutely pooped by the time we packed up the car!
We've got lots to be thankful for... and lots to look forward to!
