Maine Millers

Not as much as we thought we would get but still plenty.  It was mixed with some sleet so that kept the snow total down a little bit.  Scout did find his ball today buried almost to the top out in the back yard.  It took him about twenty minutes to dig it out and start playing with it, but once it was out he had a heck of a time playing.  He couldn't decide between playing ball and eating snow.  I am afraid that he will make himself sick with all the snow he eats.  Just going out to go potty becomes a snack session and if he can, he will sneak a chunk in to the house and jump in his dog bed and chew away on the ice ball.

We are expecting a foot of snow today and tonight and this morning Scout had a field day with the 3 inched we have at this point.  I hope to try and get some photos today and I will post them later today.

We just completed class #4 which was called “A Cure for the Winter Doldrums” and it was a lot of fun. We had a mix of things from Freestyle and Rally-O to Agility. Scout did well in most areas with the exception of needing more focused attention on me during down time between exercises. We now have a couple of weeks off and we’ll see if we can learn anything on our own during this time.

I guess I was up at about 3am this morning to put out Scout. I have no recollection of getting up putting on boots and going outside in sub-zero weather at 3am but I guess it happened. We gave him a smoked pig's ear last night for the first time and he did drink a lot of water after finishing it so maybe that was it? I have no idea, kind of scary I guess…

What’ that sound? Scout is standing in the kitchen cocking his head from side to side trying to decided it that sound coming from the white box on the counter is more interesting than the dinosaur toy in his mouth.

Mmmmm, it smells really good…

Dino is fun, squeek, squeek…

I think the popcorn will win in the end as he is just hovering around Emma right now.
