Snowpocalypse 2010

Over 30″ of snow where we live.  Note the dog play fence is 3 feet high.  ‘Nuf said…  Enjoy!

Well, it’s been awhile since we’ve posted since things have been really busy!  Jeremy and Mom got engaged on New Year’s Eve, and the rest is history!  While Daisy and Zeke are excited to move into a bigger house and spend two weeks at Grandma and Grandpa’s house during the wedding time, they are most excited to live with Jeremy!  Zeke promises to be a good boy…

Other than the usual focus and impulse-control training, there’s not much to report.  We’ve all been suffering from the winter blahs lately.  To help cheer everyone up, here are some new photos!

Zeke is so cute with his stuffed toys…When he’s not shredding them!

And here’s Ms. Daisy looking prissy, as usual…

And it’s snowing like crazy again today!  This was earlier–now there’s even more inches!

And here’s what the dogs like to do on snowy days!

So, Daisy and Zeke had to spend Christmas away from Mom again this year, but it paid off in the end… Mom brought them back new “Margaritaville Mutt” collars from Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville in Key West, FL. They look very cute, and Mom took photos to send to Margaritaville for their pet wall.

And Mom also brought home gifts from Aunt Vickie and Cousin Candy. Yum!

They wait so patiently when food is involved.

And here’s the video of them opening their gift and chowing down…

And here’s Zeke eating his cookie:

And here’s Daisy watching Zeke eat since she finished early:

Let it snow! Right–who can actually “let” it snow… Here are photos and video of Daisy and Zeke during their afternoon playtime in the yard. You’ll notice there’s much more snow now, and it’s still coming down!

Daisy is cold.

Can you smell the snow?

Mom, I want out, please.

Pretty please…

Zeke’s paw is cold…

Daisy: “Hmmm… Between the snow and the fence, I won’t be able to carry out my plot of world domination. At least not until the snow melts…”

And here’s the new video:

The snow’s coming down heavy in the D.C. Metro area today, and there’s no hint of stopping until later this evening. Daisy and Zeke braved the snow earlier today–when we only had about a foot! Here are a few photos and a video–more to come!

Hmmm… There used to be a jump and tunnel in our yard…

Look, Mom! We found our tunnel!

Look, Mom! I’m digging and not tearing up the yard!

And here’s the video:

Snow!

The snow is coming in fast and heavy in the D.C. metro area. Daisy won’t go outside, and Zeke is ignoring my calls to come inside. It’s going to be an interesting day. More photos will come when the ground is covered!

Daisy and Zeke recently visited Grandma and Grandpa for Thanksgiving. They had a great time visiting and enjoying the larger house to run in, spoiling from Grandpa, and long daily walks with Grandma. They also had turkey and sweet potato Kongs on Thanksgiving and enjoyed grain-free treats from the new dog bakery…

All went well overall, except for Daisy eating Grandma’s chocolate, Zeke’s bully stick, and a muffin. Zeke did really well with the kids, which was also a great relief since he isn’t around them much.

And here’s our Ruby:

And here’s “mouse vision” as Grandma calls it:

And our handsome, yet anti-social Ricky:

And images from a beautiful, fall day:

Here’s our precious Paco’s grave–may he rest in peace:

So, Zeke greeted his midday dog walker at the gate yesterday, which means he got out of his crate.  This is the second time this has happened.  We’re not sure if he’s an expert escapee (a little Houdini perhaps), or if Daisy is his accomplice…

Also, we’ve  had some very exciting news that Berdina has been sighted multiple times–and Sam and Salsa (our amazing tracker team) tracked a fresh scent in the exact area of the recent sightings!  That means our girl is still in the area!  Read the details at http://findberdina.wordpress.com!

Team Berdina is desperately seeking volunteers to do a variety of things to help bring our girl home before the cold weather arrives!  We need help hanging fliers, contacting businesses, doing Internet research, posting lost dogs ads, and spreading the word in the community.  You can help even if you’re not in the MD/DC area.  Please e-mail Lori at lruk@hotmail.com if you’re interested.

PawFest 2009

Sunday was PawFest at the Washington Animal Rescue League (WARL). I spent the day working as an adoptions counselor, and I stayed VERY busy. Despite the rain, tons of people wanted to visit with dogs. I hope they get lots of good applications!

On a side note, here are photos of the darling Jack Russell puppies (No worries; I’m not bringing them home!):

All of these animals are available for adoption. Visit http://www.warl.org!

Today Zeke turns 2-years-old! He’s a very big boy now… Here are photos from his birthday celebration, complete with a new toy and baked goods:
