Has anyone else ever noticed that Lucy is always sticking her tongue out at me? I know I’m not making this up, I’ve gone back through the old pictures and it’s true. My husband’s dog, Lucy is always making faces at me.

We finally got snow today. Not that I want snow, I hate winter, but I know we need the moisture. Anyway, before it started snowing today it was the most miserable windy morning, so we decided to stay inside and play where it was warm.
I thought it would be fun to play a game that our friends over at A Dog’s Journey had posted about a while back. I don’t remember what she called the game, but she did a fun video of her dogs playing it and you can find the link to the video at her site: http://adogsjourney.blogspot.com/
It’s pretty simple, you just need a muffin tin, some tennis balls and treats, and you’re ready to play. My dogs have played a few times before, but when we first played the game, I put treats in each of the muffin holes and put the tennis balls on top.
After they’d played a few times, I only put treats in selective muffin holes, and let them dogs use their wonderful sense of smell to find the right ones.
It’s fun and easy to play and gives the dogs something to do on a stormy day. Here’s some pictures of the dogs playing…
This is Rogue, patiently waiting till I tell her she can start. Isn’t she a good girl?

Everyone got to play…


Even the foster baby! She is such a smart little girl, figures new things out in no time!!!

She couldn’t figure out why I had to keep taking pictures though…that wasn’t helping her find the treats any faster. LOL

Twice this week when we were walking in the hills by our house we’ve seen a small herd of deer. Both times it’s been between 10 and 20 in the herd. I had my camera the other day, we didn’t get too close, but you can still see them.


We also got to see birds, and of course jack rabbits. Those are the dog’s favorite! I’m not fast enough with the camera to get a picture of them though. LOL
Here’s some shots of the dogs enjoying the walk.



I wish this nice weather that we’ve been having would continue. Sure has been great for walking!
Thought we’d throw in some black and white shots this week and next.
