Shall We Dance?

Tess and Ali ready to dance.

Tess is learning to walk upright. Maybe soon she'll be bringing me coffee in bed!!

Our speed weave. The dogs just love doing this. They energize one another. Of course, if one goes over the top, then they both go. It's still fun though.

Let's do the twist!!

Two pooped pups after a good session!

Will that be "Fluff" or "Delicate" Cycle?

I'm sure everyone has heard the expression "curiosity killed the cat." I never fully understood it until having lived with a cat. They have to check out EVERYTHING. And it gets them in trouble sometimes. As I was folding laundry last night, Rooney decided to check out the inside of the dryer. He was quite fascinated by the light inside and kept starring at it trying to decide if it was worth eating or playing with.

After the Feast

I caught both Sportz and Rooney trying to sneak in a workout to work off some of the Christmas goodies. Of course, a cat's idea of a workout is more time on the couch. Gotta love that.

The festivities are over for another year. The feasting is finished and we can all get back to normal eating patterns. If chocolate were a vegetable, I'd have it made. So, I am going to use the cat's workout idea and hit the couch for a snooze. ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Merry Christmas To All

Sonic and Tess are going to make me pay for making them do this. Who can resist putting the old antlers on the pups though? Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas and health and happiness in the New Year!!

The Run Must Go On

Was it worth it? Check out the goodies. Lots left over even after sending everyone home with a doggy bag and delivering some cinnamon buns to a couple of friends.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Nothing can keep the Ground Pounders from a feast. Here we are, a small, but hardy group of runners braving the elements. I'm the one with the red nose and fat knee. It took good drugs to get through the run. I'm really hobbling right now though. Probably not the most intelligent thing I've ever done, but I've been leading this run for 20 years. I'd really hate to miss one.

This is what we woke up to this morning. I was expecting a bunch of people for the cinnamon bun run. I was freaking out, worrying that nobody would show up and leave me with 10 dozen cinnamon buns.

Oh, I'm Such A Klutz.

This is the boardwalk through the bog. The small shrubs are covered with hoar frost. Notice the metal grating for non-slip(?) footing.

Another of my favorite views in the bog. The Alex Fraser Bridge looms in the background. On a clear day, the north shore mountains are visable. It's a spectacular sight.

This is what happens when you don't watch where you're going on the boardwalk. Fortunately, I was wearing long pants and don't require stitches like the last time I fell in there. Knee is now purple and swollen. I'm going to be leading a bunch of antler wearing runners tomorrow. Looks like the head reindeer is going to be lame.

What A Couple Of Mugs

Just checkin' out the new border collie mugs that came in the mail this week. I think Sonic and Tess approve, but wishing there were cookies inside!!!

So, did you get us anything else, huh, huh, huh?? More cookies please??
