Chilly Dogs!

Wow! it's been a while since we posted. Mom has been watching the weather a lot which means she isn't helping us with our blog. It has been REALLY cold (for Houston) and wet the last couple of days. That means that Mom won't leave us outside for long. She stands out there with us to make sure we do everything we are supposed to do but sometimes she has to guess what is going on if we run behind the garage or under the magnolia trees. In that case, once she gets cold, we all go inside.

We were really lucky. On Monday night, it never did rain so nothing got icy and slippery. It started raining Tuesday night so Mom was a little more concerned. We aren't used to walking around on ice or in icy weather so we were outside only a short time after she got home from work. That usually isn't a good idea with the boys and sure enough ... Mom was glad she had stocked up on paper towels.

This morning was still very cold so, once again, it was a quick trip outside. We just don't understand how the huskies can like cold so much. OK, that isn't true, we can take one look at all that fluffiness and we understand completely. We just aren't fluffy like they are. Half the time when we go outside in cold or rainy weather, at least one of us runs in to the little doghouse and won't come back out until it is time to go back in to the big doghouse.

As you can see, the weather is the big news around here. Fortunately it is supposed to start warming up again today. It needs to warm up a little bit because we are going to the country house on Friday. Mom and Aunt Bec want us to run around outside but only if we aren't going to freeze.

In case you are wondering about the title of this post, that is what Mom calls us during the winter - her little chilly dogs! We are hot dogs in the summer. OK, so it's not THAT clever but give her a break; she's getting old and she's the only mom we have.

Just a Quick Note ...

Sammy wants you to know that he went to see our doggie doctor on Saturday and he has lost 1/10 of a pound! That is proof that Mom is starving him. Mom says it probably has more to do with the fact that she didn't feed him breakfast until after they got home.

Maggie and Jake and Aunt Bec came over to visit last night. They got here before Mom got home from work so Aunt Bec fed us our dinner. Somehow Mom knew that we had already gotten our dinner so Mom didn't feed us again. Rats!

Aunt Bec gave us each a snausage. That was wonderful but we had to share with Maggie and Jake. Mom said we wouldn't even notice. It really is okay because we love our cousins. It's the best fun when all five us run and bark at things together. For some reason Aunt Bec and Mom don't like us to bark at things when we are in our back yard. They say the neighbors are not as appreciative of our fun.

Mom let us outside a little more tonight. She says it's going to get cold and rainy and we won't want to be outside tomorrow. We hope it doesn't get cold and rainy because we don't like cold and rainy! Huskies need to keep the cold up north and out of where we live. Mom says she needs to buy more paper towels.

We didn't get any snausages tonight. Mom says she would give them to us if we would get off of her but we like to lay on top of her. We would rather do that than get snausages.

That's all. Life is still boring. Mom is working a little late each day which means we have even less time for something interesting to happen. If something does happen, we will be sure to tell you all about it.
