House guest

Yesterday was one of those perfect winter days in Colorado.


Sadie is here for the weekend.


She likes her vacation home....

keep away

As previously mentioned BB and Sadie are non-stop.



Sadie's favorite game is keep away.

Which normally devolves into a boxing match.

dog jam

They start in a line....

Then they get in a circle of barking frenzy...



Then they just mill in a "dog jam" a loud dog jam....

Our house guest

Sadie is visiting for a few days while her people are on a trip out of town. The crew started at dawn by waking up the elk. If you look up the road you can see the elk crossing. The elk were not thrilled about their early morning barking alarm clock. I'm pretty sure my neighbor on the other side of the road is even less thrilled. The elk like to eat the hay he puts out for his cattle.


Sadie and BB just play non stop.


Ginny tries to keep up best she can.

That's quite a bit of snowplow action she has there. We're lucky it's not a wet snow.


The whole crew got crazy.


All through the day.




Right up till sunset.

Why am I the only one who's exhausted after all of this? They should have slept like little doggie logs but I got my 5 am wake up licks as usual.

3 black dogs

Sun today but cold. Not super cold but cold enough for squeaky crunch snow ....



Sadie came over for a visit. Sadie is a pound puppy lab (mix?) who was rescued by a friend. She's about 2 1/2 and still full of energy. Sadie and BB tear the place up. They met when BB was just a little hellboy. Sadie had her first trip pheasant hunting this fall and has decided that is the best thing in the world. I doubt she'll see any pheasant out here and the snowshoe bunnies are too fast for anyone to catch.

We all had a nice little snow shoe walk out in the meadow.



Ginny finally caught on that it's better to walk behind the snowshoes and have someone break trail. She was panting pretty hard there for a bit but once back to the plowed drive she was fine.

Of course nothing stops the hellboyz.
