This year is my first white christmas!!! So far, we have about a foot of snow. I have been having a blast with all of this! Snow on christmas is the best 'card' to have! "Lets go for a walk at midnight-because its christmas and there is snow on the ground!", "you don't have to drive in the lines-because its christmas and there is snow on the ground!", "lets eat candy all day-because its christmas and there is snow on the ground!" You get the idea.
Charley wasn't amused at first:

Family photo:
It was pretty cold, but Boomer was dry under his blanket and seemed fine, other than a few icicles in his forelock! My goal had been to take out my old 35mm camera and get some great shots of Boomer galloping through snow drifts. Well, the negative wind chill, lack of batteries, and the fact that Boomer wasn't sharing my enthusiasm all led to the above cell phone feeding time photo sequence. Better luck next time.

Awww - what nice pictures! I'm glad you could save Boomer and I'm with you on the snow and Christmas thing! Fun! Sounds like all is well and Boomer is doing great...
The lesson is just around the corner now too. Stay warm!
