A Butcher shop opened up downtown, so we can now get locally grown grass-fed beef. And the kids love fresh marrow bones.
Stella somehow ended up with two bones.
Must have been Jaime’s. She got tired of gnawing, and decided to rest her jaw on a soft pillow.
Hard to believe there is still snow on the ground here. Stella says NO MORE!!!
Yahtzee says NO MORE!!! The ice was scraping up their legs. Yahtzee was adopted a couple of weeks ago, and is now happily living with her new family.
We tried to make the best of it by sliding down our driveway in the plastic pool we use for the kids. It didn’t work very well.
At least it was pretty to look at.
Until we lost power for the weekend. We got out the lantern (for light and heat), covered up all the kids, popped open a bottle of wine, and got lots of reading done.
We took them for a walk in the Winter Wonderland. Looks like a search and rescue team.
They stayed still just long enough for a family portrait.
Is that why we lost power? I guess we’ll walk the other way.
Freeze, thaw, freeze, thaw makes for pretty icicles.
This past weekend, we went to the Pet Expo in Richmond to get more fleecy beds since they kept stealing Parker’s. Stella looks left out.
For those of you who love to drink wine and are within driving distance to Virginia, please check out Grapehound Wine Tour Virginia. We had a great time last year at the Grapehound Wine Tour at the Finger Lakes in New York. When you register, $5 of the $20 registration will go to your sponsoring greyhound group of choice. See you there.
Those are some very comfy hounds! The fleece beds look really nice.
ReplyDeleteI envy you having all the Grape Hounds tours to attend. We don't have a lot of fun stuff going on here by us!
Uuuuggg... I wouldn't want to manage greyhounds during a winter power outage. Looks like you guys handled it gracefully though.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about the snow as Stella does!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I knew you had lost power, but I didn't think it had lasted this long. Great news about Yahtzee. :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back....you poor things...Hurry up spring!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely ADORE the family photo!!!
our butchers don't cut them as short. drives me nuts having the femur divided into three. i get 2 enormous knuckes and one loooong middle. whose got a tongue for that outside of the adult dog industry?
ReplyDeletepoor stella. the drama. oh, the drama.
Those bones look great - the butchers here are not very forthcoming about parting with their bones, probably due to the fact that I never buy any meat being a veggie.....! Gorgeous snow pictures.
ReplyDeleteThose ARE "some very comfy hounds!" 4-hound 1-dog nights, nice you two had them to keep you warm! Hee hee. Their drowsy eyes from getting their sleep interrupted are SO cute! Your beautiful shot of your road and the search and rescue pic are really nice winter shots.
ReplyDeleteGreyt to find your blog! I am just going to pick up a Costco dog bed for Frankie. Hope he likes it! Your pack is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYou were brave to walk them in the snow...but what else is there to do in a power outage. See you at Grapehounds (well...I will see you before that but we will definitely see you there!)
