trail time tuesday

hi every bloggie!

Not much going on today, so I thought I'd take you on the trail with me.

Be careful on the this agility course, the log bridge is delicately placed on top of a mud pit. It's load of fun when you fall into it.

And now.. some artsy views of the trail!

Abandoned home.

Ice balls .... not harry this time and these are not fun.

A winter sky... it'll be here for a while.. ho hum.

Finter is Here

hi every bloggie Oh.. I almost forgot it is fall. Well not so much here in MA. We had a blast of cold weather. Look everything is frosted.

But the frost doesn't keep my devil dog ears from getting a rise. In fact I have a bit more zip to my zap in the cold weather.

Okay I have to appease my blog assistant with another... snooze.. leaf photo. Yep frosted leaf. Yippeedo dah.

I think the snowflakes that came drifting amidst the friday morning weather were captured better on my peanut head.

Whoa.. looks like a blizzard but not that bad. Had to defrost the car before heading to day camp. Mom had to bring out the mittens. Glad it did not necessitate my mittens yet-Whew!

See.. I was dusted with the flakes.

I think it means a new season has ushered in.

Yep.. I'm calling it FINTER

New Year's Day Fun

Brrr.. New Year's Day was frigid.  This poor boy's toes kept freezing up so I brought out the mittens. (aka-boots) An initial struggle was soon over followed by a nice prance. (trying to figure out how to walk in them)   Here he is, so fancy, with his fleece mittens.  I know.. I know.. it really isn't a fashion statement in this case it is function.  For those owners who need to use boots, I use the cheap ones that the iditarod dog use... give it a try - at $2.50/pair it is a good investment.  Go to www.dogbooties.com.  And, if he loses one, it is not a costly loss and they fit good too.

    

Now we are ready for the trails.  We headed to Ghiloni Park in Marlboro.  Oh yes! We had the park and the trails to ourselves.  Norwood took full advantage of it.  The ice cold gusts blowing against our face. The snow draped pine trees.  Fresh tracks in the trails.  We had a great time... expect I could not keep up.  I wish I had a furry face and four legs some days.. today was one of them.

        

It was a beautiful clear blue sky mitten wearing kind of day!

A GOOFBALL HAS MANY JOBS

I am such a good helper.  I went to the grocery store today to help.  First I made sure we were going the right way.  

Next I checked the bags before we left the store. Yep got everything!  

Then I checked the bags when we got inside!  Yep lots of things for me! Opps got caught... look cute for a picture. 

Then I was a blanket for my mommie.  I am tired now.

Thanks fun aunt dee for showing us how to mobile blog from our iPhone:P

Today's Walk

Today we took a long walk through the Northboro neighborhoods and park.  We haven't been there in awhile- we forgot how much we liked that route.  In the field there was a hole in the snow,  Norwood didn't know what to do about it. He slowly moved forward but chickened out to look in it. It was only a sewer drain.  Geez! Norwood then picked out the best decorated house.  He liked this one the best.  And took a minute to pose for a snow photo at the elementary school. Next time we are going to bring our sled and hit the hill behind the school.  Quite a fun walk and he was a good boy.  We didn't even know we were being followed by his cousin Tula- that's how much fun we had. 

Doggie Day Care -Winter Solstice Party Photos

As promised, I am posting Norwood's BEST KISSER award from the party.  He really embraced the staff person.. not sure who he is in a lip lock with.  And his snow globe photo- ears down for a change. Doggie day care sure is fun. Thanks Best Friends in Sudbury!

Working from Home

This morning it was a crispy 3 degrees for our walk.  It didn't seem to bother Norwood...I guess chasing a ball will always keep you warm. We ran into his friend Zoey who is a mini dachshund/Chihuahua mix.  She was wearing her new blue parka but still was not happy about the weather.  I wish I had my camera handy.  A pouty little girl- all dressed up and mad.  

Today I worked from home.   Norwood's version of "work from home" is a little bit different than mine.  Good thing I earn the pay check. :(  

Snow Tracks

Norwood had fun in our first major snow storm for this winter. We love the snow!:) Chase the ball.... lose the ball in the snow. Dig the ball out and start all over. We made lots of fun snow tracks. We have 7 inches and more to follow-track the storm here.  More snow heading our way!  Good thing he has long legs for a little guy. Here we are walking along the Assabet River.  He thought about going for a dip, but fortunately stopped.
