Now, it is raining!!! All the pretty snow is turning into dirty slush-yuck!! the icicles are all dripping constantly and the snow that is left on the driveway is still frozen-so much so that we cannot walk on it. I hear that the weather for the rest of the week is more rain, snow and wind. When a guy has to pee outside, that is NOT the kind of forecast he wants to hear about!! But then I heard from Carol that the temperature in Ft. Worth was 83 the other day and the wind was really blowing-so there ya go-the weather is weird everywhere. I DO have a warm chair to lay on and Kim sent Carol the softest blanket I have ever felt (she is sharing it with me).
We did get to take one last walk around the hotel before the "thaw" began and Barney got a good shot of the Eagle out by the river-bet he is cold!!
I got a Christmas Eve bath-and did it ever feel good to be clean!!! Jenny and Nathan came over Christmas Day for blueberry pancakes and we all had a nice visit and lots of good petting for me!
Kim called Christmas day with good cheer and Susan told Barney that she and Michael are expecting a "new one" sometime in August-that was the best present ever!!!
Since we have to stay indoors most all of the time, I don't have as many adventures. Maybe next time I write I will reveal some of the many dreams that a gorge dog has when he is sleeping away the winter-not today though-I think I see someone getting their boots on, and I hear the plow removing the rest of the snow, so I'll just go see what the plan is.............maybe we can get the KIA out-it has been 10 days since we have gone anywhere!!!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas.......and be safe on new years eve!!
love ya

IT IS SOOOOO COLD!!! I'VE DECIDED I LIKE TO LOOK AT SNOW MUCH MORE THAN I LIKE TO WALK IN IT!!!!
I mean it- this is getting so ridiculous!!! all it does is snow, snow, snow. It is a bit much!!
I cannot even walk in it anymore!! At least the driveway gets plowed, plus the sidewalks, but to find a place to pee anymore-well-that is just out of the question. Now days, Carol sweeps her boot over the top layer and flattens it out and says " pee here" and I have no recourse-I just pee!! Same thing with the poop thing, then wham-we are up the stairs and the outing is all over. If I try to walk in the yard-EVERYTHING below my nose gets frozen-real fast!! So I now stay out of the yard. Things are getting pretty boring for me, since I don't read books, surf the Internet (heck, I am privileged to just be able to get some time to do this!!) or cook!! But Carol keeps my blankets all clean and I don't have to take a bath as much while it is so cold-so that is great!!
Since Carol and Barney are a lot taller than I am they get to go out and play in the snow. Just tonight, they walked over to the hotel and had a meal (they brought me a small tid bit and it was sooooo good). I think they are getting the hang of this "retirement" thing, although Carol would like to get out more-"soon" Barney tells her, "just enjoy this quiet time", so she does-today she made bread and a few cinnamon rolls, while Barney stays on the computer.
Well, it is time for still another nap, so I'll pick out a few pictures for you to gaze upon and I will write to you real soon!!!
love ya and Merry Christmas!!
