…..and a guinea hen up on the roof!
We’ve been having a fun pre-Christmas week and here’s some more proof of the dogs’ silliness:

Oh what fun it is to play in all of our snow, and we got some of their new West Paw toys out there as well!

The ruby red Hurley came in handy as toys are easily getting lost in the snow! While Cricket prefers to chase balls, she’s been known to chase Hurleys in the past, and she loves searching the snow when toys go missing. That was happening a lot since we’ve had over a foot of soft snow on the ground (it’s packed down now from playing and a short warm spell that melted it down some).

As planned, I kept the West Paw mitten* inside my glove (to get my smell on it) and then put it in my pocket to see if Luke would try to steal it.

You can see that he did. Unfortunately, he also wanted to destroy that mitten. Duh…that’s what he tries to do to my gloves when he steals them so I should have known! As soon as I saw what he was up to, I got it away from him to take the squeaker out.
The mitten might be a better toy for a smaller, less destructive dog (like Cricket!). He had fun anyway, romping around with it, and it kept my gloves dry! Also, as I predicted, Rudolph went from the red-nosed reindeer to the no-nosed reindeer.
Other than that, he’s still intact, so he’s living up to his Ruff-n-Tuff name so far! With all this pre-Christmas fun, will we have any left by the time Christmas gets here? Oh, I imagine there are more goodies in store for our two silly dogs!
Luke, the mitten thief! Silly dogs.
You guys are silly, thanks for all the fun photos.
We’re happy to oblige! 🙂
Luke is too smart! I hope y’all have a very merry Christmas!
Such cuties, I hope Santa is good to you.
I love your silly dogs. I’m so happy to see Cricket and Luke playing together in the snow!!!!
They have fun, even though Cricket gets frustrated with her brother sometimes! 🙂
Rudolph the no-nosed reindeer made me laugh! I’m glad you’re all having so much wintertime fun. Merry Christmas.
We hope you and your family had a very Merry Christmas as well, Raven!
We love our WestPaw toys, but they all stay inside. Bailie knows that rule and actually follows it. She races to the door with it in her mouth and without being asked to, she drops it as soon as the door is opened and she leaves too. Merry Christmas.
What a smart girl Bailie is! Our rule is usually no stuffie toys outside, but they still try to sneak them out! One of them snuck Boogie out last week, but luckily Dad caught it right off.
We have ice from the storm here in Massachusetts. I wish we had gotten some snow, at least you can play in it. Merry Christmas!
We had snow, then ice, then snow again, all over Christmas weekend! I’m just glad it ended with snow so we can still play in the yard. There’s nothing good about ice!
“And a guinea hen up on the roof!” I bet most people can’t say that!
Luke … were you playing keep-away with the ball? You only get one sister, you know!
{Don’t buy it … my Momma told me for YEARS that I only get one sister and finally when I let my guard down, she came home with another one!!! ~Bear Cat}
Merry Christmas to you all!
Yes, Luke was playing keep-away! Eventually he does give in and give it to his sister though (and I don’t think he’d buy that either, about only getting one sister!).
They’re so cute together. And that snow looks like so much fun to play in! Rita is so jealous!
Hope you and your whole crew have a wonderful Christmas!!
I can’t believe how much snow we have! It’s kind of crazy. I’d be happy to ship some of it to Rita. 🙂
What a beautiful winter wonderland. Fun!!!

There’s no doubt it’s winter here! 🙂
Rudolph the no nose reindeer kinda has a ring to it too 😉 BOL Looks like lots of fun in da snow!

Matt (& Matilda)
We were messing up a whole bunch of Christmas carols there, weren’t we? LOL
We love seeing you two have so much fun!
Looks like they’re having a blast! Ducky’s pretty happy with just about any toy, as long as it doesn’t talk back to her. And Shadow’s like Cricket – just throw the ball already, Mom!
Some girls just don’t have much patience! 🙂
they are having a good ‘ol time!
“Rudolph the no-nosed reindeer…” Looks like everyone’s having a blast in the snow!
We try to make the best of it…might as well, because we’ve got a lot of it, so I don’t think it will be going anywhere for a while!
