Socks

Somebody went and stole Mom's socks.  Wonder who it could be?  

Mom got some new socks the other day and had made a pile of the old ones.  If any of you know me, I love socks.  So, I thought that big old pile of socks that Mom was getting rid of was the best thing ever!

It was so cold today (or cold for a So Cal puppy).  I was shivering in my coat, and even needed a blanket.  Out of nowhere, it started raining this evening.  Then we got hail...lots.  And boy was it loud.  That was followed by quite the show of lightning and thunder.  I was curious, but luckily I was no chicken about all that noise.  Hope you are all staying warm and cozy.

My New Bow

Look at my new bow from my friend, Julie.  She made me a super sweet Valentine bow.  I have been loving my visits with Julie....I even ask her to hold me now.

Can you see how bright it is outside in this picture?  After that super cold weather, the winds have been persisting.  They get a little bit calmer during the day and then kick up at night.  And, it has been warm (almost hot) outside.  Mom had to open the windows...not just for fresh air...it was getting too warm inside.  Mom prefers the cold, gray weather...anyone want to trade for some sunshine?

New Friend and It's Freezing

Last night, Mom and I went over to our friend, Julie's house.  We got to see her working on her awesome bows.  Last time I was there, I met this cute little kitty, Abbi.  We were both interested in each other.  This time, we actually got nose to nose and sat for a picture together.  Mom is still in shock about this because the first time I saw a kitty, I barked and then ran in the opposite direction.  Now, I like to scare the kitties off my back wall, but I am still scared if they want to come to me.  But, Abbi is different.  On our short walk home, the winds were super duper strong and made it feel icy.

 It turns out it actually was icy.  This is the fountain out by the pool.  Can you see the icicles?  Those lions look pretty angry to be that cold.

This is not the norm for So Cal.  But, I didn't get to see the icicles because there is some lame rule that says that doggies can't go by the pool.

Luckily, our yard is a little sheltered from the wind, so I can go out and soak up the sun there.  

Sunshine

So, yesterday the news was all over the cold weather and light rain. . . didn't feel that cold to us.  Now today, we have this...

It is nice and sunny and cool.

Ditched my warm coat for some cool shades.

Winter in So Cal

Mom made me go out in the rain and pose for a pic right after it hailed.  Is she nuts?  But I am a pro and got it done in one try.  That patio was a little cold on my tush though; so, I refused to sit down all the way.  Good thing we don't have snow.

We are both fed up with the news...they go on and on about this being such a huge storm.  It's called winter, get over it, we need the rain.
