BRRR

It's freakin freezing in Denver. What they hey. I'm contemplating not walking the mutt today. She got 3 walks yesterday as Mike and I both walked her when we got home so maybe that will count for today. It's just so bitterly cold it is unbearable.




Here is a picture of mutt dog. She is so big and as is typical her one ear is standing up a bit and the other is completely floppy. We wonder if the other ear will flop up but it's not very likely. She is so big now!

Dukes is learning lot of new tricks. She is trying to master (almost but not yet) roll over and crawl. Below is a sequence of her roll over attempts. She still needs some guidance from the treat.





Starting position

Off we go


Almost there


All done!

She is brilliant I tell you. I hate that stupid carpet and we have decided to get a new one once we move into the new house. Her coat is also changing color on her back which we are not pleased about at all (but we still love her)


Work is buys, busy. I'm trying to host client house warming parties this year. The first one was a "Trading Spaces" party on Saturday. It was fun and neat to see the clients on TV. They redid the basement by putting in this fantastic "sexy lounger/couch" and it worked out great. I set all my goals for the year, etc. and I have no idea how I will reach them (especially with the weather preventing any open house activity). Oh well; I'm going to try and not worry about it.

    She's so cute! Still tough to tell what size she really is because Mike is kind of behind her in that picture. Do you know what her weight is?

    I don't want to walk the dogs today, either, but I don't have as good of an excuse - it shows it's 23 degrees in Portland and 1 degree in Eaton (close enough to Denver). Eek! I don't envy you and that cold, but I'm jealous of the snow.

    are you injecting her with growth hormone??! I can't believe how big she is.

    I can't believe you are even CONTEMPLATING walking the dog. Super impressive when it's "feels like -4 degrees" per various online sites. Well, either impressive or insane. :)

    Maverick is a prince(ss) and will only roll over on a carpeted surface with LOTS of space. I had him roll over once on Christmas. I had to command him 14 times before he would actually do a full 360 (the previous 13 were lame-ass 90 degrees up and back). My dad recorded this on video; that's how we know it's 14. :(
