Leo went a playin'
After being cooped up for about a week because his evil responsible parents didn't want to go out and play in sub-zero temperatures, Leo had some pent up energy. And it was getting ready to come out in a way that would probably not please his humans. Thank goodness the once-a-month playgroup got together today. To say Leo was happy about going would be an understatement. He was thrilled, excited, wound up, ecstatic, energized, and on cloud nine! The yard still had lots of fresh snow for him to plow through and some other dogs equally excited about the snow. And Leo enjoyed this session the most of any! There aren't a lot of pictures because it was still rather chilly for me and I wasn't taking my gloves off.
He did get a chance to meet another Great Pyrenees, which was pretty cool. It was very interesting to see the difference in the two dogs. Leo is much more outgoing and social, which is totally not in his breed trait. Must be all the places he has been going since he was a tiny puppy. Enough of my talking, let's get on with some pictures.
Leo racing toward the organizer of the group simply because she called him. Look at that smile - think he was happy boy?
Somehow my special boy managed to find dirt/twigs/leaves/crud even in all that snow
And then once he got home, he was still all wound up and ready to go. So, Rocky reminded him who was boss with a little wrestling match (and Leo is still smiling).

A doggie Christmas
Better late than never is the fun of Christmas for the boys. Of course they had to get new toys and treats and special yummy food. That is what the Mr and I get, so they are not to be left out.
Leo got a new stuffy ball
"How do I make it squeak?"
"Why won't you squeak?"
Leo really wants the ball!
Leo even tries to catch the ball in this video.
Then Rocky shows Leo how to properly squeak the ball toannoy, I mean, entertain the Mr and I. Poor Leo doesn't quite get is, but sure does try.
Then after all the fun with toys, Rocky stars to chase a reflection on the wall - crazy lab! Notice how Leo is not amused with his crazy brother.
"Oh wait, the spot moved!"
So, after all the fun with new toys, we are trumped by a reflection on the wall. It figures.
But after all the holiday fun, it was time for a yummy dinner (at least to the dogs). Not that you wanted to see dog food, but I thought it was funny that Leo, who is rather indifferent to food, had his nose practically on the counter while I was putting this together. Needless to say, he inhaled his food for a change and was a happy guy.
And please try not to laugh too much at the Star Wars movie on the TV in the background of the pictures. If you know the Mr, you know we have to watch it anytime it is on TV.

Mid-December Snow Storm
One of my New Year's Resolutions is to be better about keeping the blog updated. So, the next few posts will be posts of things that I have been meaning to post.
So, we had a big snow storm in mid-December. And today when it was 50 degrees and all the snow from it and all other storms after it has melted it occurred to me that I never posted the pictures of it. We ended up getting about 8 inches from this storm and then it got frigidly cold after so it stuck around and snowed a few more time (like it tends to to here in the great white north).
Leo is supervising the snow fall
"Please can I go back outside, Mom? Please?"

So, we (meaning the Mr) worked hard to shovel the deck and clear the driveway. And this was the view 4 hours later.

Whose blanket is it?
Shortly after the boys woke from their Saturday nap, that question was posed and answered very quickly.
Rocky is still sleepy
Now he is trying to get comfortable and find just the right spot
And he found it!
I love that during the yawn, the finding a good spot and then settling in he managed to keep the blanket in place.

And now a Saturday afternoon
I am beginning to see a theme here. Here are the boys resting up for tomorrow's predicted big snow storm. I love that all you can see is Rocky's head peaking out from the blanket. He tried to pretend that he doesn't like it, but they had all been like that for almost an hour.
A Sunday afternoon
This is a typical Sunday afternoon at our house during the colder weather. All the boys work hard 'watching football' as it is called at our house.
Rocky turns 9!
Our puppy is no longer a puppy and has celebrated his 9th birthday. Not that Rocky knows he is 9, but according to the calendar he is.
Rocky and his birthday pupcakes
"Can I have one?"
"How about now?"
"Please?"
"I really want one mom."
"Pupcakes are yummy!"
* believe it or not I kept all my fingers - it just looks vicious
Rocky even shared with Leo
And Rocky got new toys too.
Got a big fish stuffie
And it grunts!
And the old man can still play catch!
Happy birthday to our 'old man' and perpetual puppy - Rcketmnonster!

The boys went to play
I had a dog food delivery to make to a friend yesterday and she told me to bring the boys to come play with her plott hound, Brooke. So, I did and fun was had by all the dogs.
Brooke playing with the jolly ball we brought
Brooke wearing her Leo slime proudly
Rocky, Leo and Brooke wrestling

And my favorite one, Leo chasing Brooke - I love his crazy face
Thanks to Brooke and her mom for letting us play at her house.

Just a quick laugh for you
I laughed out loud when I saw this picture, so I had to share!
Halloween
I am not even going to try to apologize for the lack of posts. I am just going to bribe you with cute pictures of the dogs in their Halloween costumes.
The dogs were supposed to wear the opposite costumes, but Leo did not want to wear the hat. So, instead he looked like a sausage stuffed in the shirt. Silly dog!
