Santa Strikes !

Glad Chistmas is over & New Year starts tomorrow . Somehow things went horribly wrong . Christmas comes & Santa drops off a trip to London & a load of dog food ! Yeah ! Then cheap Santa sends me the bill ! I'm glad Santa didn't give me that red bike I wanted at 10 , I'd probably still be paying interest ! Hope everyone has a safe & Happy New Year !

Early Garden Seed Starter .

Hope non-LED rope light generates enough heat to start seeds of peppers & eggplants . If not I'll switch system to protected light bulb under a wire mesh base .

Guinness Break !

Guinness planning how to ease more treats .

Big Boy Harry's First Christmas & Birthday !

My Three Sons celebrating Big Boy's birthday & Christmas . George ( Blue Merle on ramp ) , Big Boy Harry ( Black & White at foot of ramp ) & Ricky ( Black & White beside ramp ) are excited !

A Merlin Christmas !

Plus today's Merlin's first birthday !

Beauty & Brains !

Aiko graduates from kindergarden !

Santa is Attacked !

Another needless Pitbull attack on Santa ! Santa may be old but he's still quick . Not so for one of his elves . All that was left was the cap that the attacker ran off with . Santa knows it was Merlin & put him on the Naughty List .

A Katie Khristmas !

Katie getting ready to enjoy her first Christmas !

A Pint of Guinness !

Oscar , now Guinness , stretches out in his new home . Interesting to see Cardigans like to crawl under things as well as seek high places .

Last of the Summer Puppies !

Oscar was the last to find a home but he found a good one . He'll share his new human buddies with two Pembrokes !

Reports of Dog 'Napping !

Rosemont with dog 'napper ! Police warn dog owners to beware of this not so jolly fiend . He's known to leave coal & not deliver bikes to good boys ! He's known to panhanle outside stores & hang out with crying children in malls .

A Sunny Winter !

Sunny enjoying the winter . So much from a long history of farmwork . Slacker ! Truth is Cardigans can work , play , & loaf with equal intensity !

He's Got The Look !

The guilty look ! Seems Waldo will swipe scotch tape . What's next Waldo , gloves , hand tools , or credit card numbers ?

When Cardigans Fly !

Maybe Rosemont can't fly but that doesn't stop him from trying !

Packing Christmas Gifts !

 Who wouldn't like a cat in the box for Christmas ?

Unless it's an evil cat with radar stare !

Battling Maine's Snow

The Latest In Snow Shoveling Fashion !

Guess it's true , You can take the gal out of North Dakota but you can't take the North Dakota out of the gal !  Kate loves snow shoveling . As a good husband , I can't deny Kate what she loves . Kate starts in our yard & stops after the neighbor's ! Now if I can drop her & her shovel off in Schenectady , I'll make a fortune !

Yo-Yo Battling The Snow Storm !

What courage !

Winter Quarters

Big Boy Harry & George take the carpeted ramp to explore their new winter quarters . Cardigans enjoy both outdoors & indoors , but on bitter cold days I limit outdoor time . Wind chill was minus 5 this morning & might break 20 degrees before the heavy snow falls . They might be able to take it but I can't !

Summertime , When Liv'n Is Easy

 Erin stretched out on the ramp .

" Oh , that feels soo good ! "

Oscar Today !

 Took 14 shots to get this one ! Oscar would jump up for the photo & just as it clicked , drop down !

 Still life shots are easier .

A nice close up .
