November 11, 2012

Here’s today’s beginning weather report...13° with several inches of very fluffy snow, under a clear blue sky.  It was such a beautiful thing to see.

There is a new dog in the Dane family.  Her name is Maddie.  She belongs to Natalia.  Or maybe I should say Natalia belongs to her.

Anyway, she is an adorable, scruffy, tiny two year old sweetheart and Natalia loves her.  

So now our dog family is all sizes.  Willie is our great big giant lovable guy about the size of a small horse.  Everyone loves Willie.  If you don’t believe me, just ask him.

Next is Joey.  He’s big and strong, and very smart.  I’ve tried to teach him to talk.  He responds in a variety of tones, depending on the situation.  And he has a lot of patience, especially when it comes to...

...Hapa, his little sister, and can be quite a nuisance, including chewing the hair off the tip of Joey’s tail.  She looks like a fox, has one blue eye and one brown, and likes to be in charge.

Tucker is a small black Schnauzer who loves Lori dearly and would just as soon have Lori all to himself, thank you very much!!!

I’ve already told you about tiny Maddie.

So you can see that the Dane dog family members come in all sizes, from very big to very tiny.

It didn’t get above freezing today.  The temp tonight is already down to 18°.  We are certainly enjoying our new electric blanket!
