Whoa, snow!

Snow day today so no school! I went to go take Elsie out with the sled and some weight but ended up coming right back in! I went out in my pajamas, boots, coat, and hat. I went to go step in the backyard snow only to find that the snow was well above my boots! Elsie looked at me sadly as the snow started to bunch into her fur and I took her back inside. I hope the snow stops tomorrow so we can actually enjoy it's presence. This past weekend my mom got me up at 8am to go drive to the camera store to get a brand new camera! I've been wanting to use it outside but it hasn't stopped snowing yet.

So the other night we went to go visit a family members boxer litter :). I think they're about 5-6 weeks old-almost ready to be shipped off to families! Here's some pictures we took with the new camera. nom.. nom.. nom..
Whuzzat?Favorite activity.. ripping up the newspaper..
They were SUPER playful and wanting to chew my camera strap off so LOTS of close ups because they wouldn't leave me alone for a second! For some reason they kept trying to slam their heads into the big lens.. Dumb puppies.

I've been wanting an athletic dog. Elsie's turning 9 this spring(!), and Odie has absolutely NO want or potential to do stuff. Oh well.. I was talking to my dad the other day when I was fitting Elsie for a real recreational harness my dad was telling me how she's getting old but I said, "Yeah, I know mom's not gonna get me a dog so it's the best I can do for now" He totally got my hint of "as soon as I move out I'm gonna get 5 dogs! I don't care what you guys think!"

I might be crazy. But it just runs in the family. So I think I'm starting to come down with a cold, I'm heading out. Hopefully no school tomorrow!
