I went outside in a sleeveless shirt to decide how to dress to walk the dogs, and ended up tidying up the yard instead! Won't my neighbors be relieved, LOL.
Yes, the dogs eventually got their walk, but first I fed them. Sasha decided not to eat tonight ... until I explained that we'd go for a walk only after she ate. She ate it right up and then did her time-for-my-walk dance!
Hope this weather makes it up north soon.

Hes gorgeous!!!!
and it looks like he feels really at home in his new home.
On another note, watched a bit of the "animal talent show" on Animal Planet earlier today (caught the tail end of it -- no pun intended), but they had a dog on there who would literally hop on the door of a running dryer and retrieve tennis balls -- blew my mind!!!
WOW!!! That is gorgeous. nm

Up. Fake but gorgeous! lol (we think so at least!)

My Stars! He is GORGEOUS! sm
wow! I would snap him up in a minute! I cannot imagine anyone putting that beautiful dog up for adoption, but you are so lucky! If your DH is not into showing, perhaps putting out for stud? there is money in that too, and he would make some beautiful puppies!!! I cannot imagine your other dog rejecting him, but maybe more than one visit would be a good idea. Good luck to you! ks
He's *gorgeous* with a pedigree to die for. sm
I'm jealous! ;o) BTW, the win he had under judge Kathleen Kanzler (Innisfree Siberians) is very impressive. She and her daughters are very well known and respected in Siberians. It was her dog that won Best of Show at Westminster (in 1984, I think it was). Try not to get bitten by the show bug.  It's a whole other world.
I hope Sasha likes him so he can live with you!
She is just gorgeous. You can see the gentleness in her!!! NM

As I said - they are gorgeous creatures
I watched one eat a mourning dove but usually try not to watch. They pluck and leave a great pile of feathers. Great Horned Owls can get cats - in case you have one - but their favorite food is skunks - a bird of prey expert told me that the white stripe makes a good landing strip at night!! I too keep the camera close by, got a couple, but usually by the time I get focused he has moved on.
What a gorgeous horse!! sm
I am sure he is just as happy where he is now as he was with you! You saved his life once and he won't forget that! Bless you both!
your baby is gorgeous!!!! sm
I have three bassets, 12, 11 and 8 years old. I love my dogs! I'm a huge animal lover, they are like my kids. Bassets are very stubborn. It took a while to train our first basset. Our second basset (Lucy) we got when Flash was 1 year old. Lucy wasn't as hard to train as Flash was. Our third basset I got when he was about 5 years old. He was used to being outside, and he wasn't hard to train either. I'd giver her some time. They are such loyal dogs!!! Great with kids too.
I think she is gorgeous...congratulations!
:)
What do you think of the quality of clothing today. What I looked at shopping today in nice stores
the stuff wasnt even sewn properly. Do you have to look at everything you buy or just hope it lasts a year.
Gorgeous kitty! Will pray it all goes well! :) nm

FRED is gorgeous!!!!! Thanks 4 sharing...nm
GORGEOUS pet-collars! Check this out.... -sm
To all of you pet-lovers out there:
I've seen lots of websites offering fancy dog and cat collars, but nothing like this one! There are pages and pages of lovely sparkly rhinestone collars.... it took me forever to finally choose one for my new little princess-kitty!
If your pampered pet could use a little "bling", you'll love this site!
They are gorgeous, and he is just too adorable for words!!! NM

What a gorgeous colt! From your description - sm
of his temperament, and liking to do 'interesting' things, I'll bet he'd made a great police horse, or be fantastic in trail-horse competition at shows! (Not to mention excellent for actual trail-riding!) What a cutie!
I've had horses in the past; my last one, a dark brown thoroughbred, was a Hunter/Jumper. I got him when he was just 3 years old & unbroke, and he finally died at age 25. Can't afford them anymore (live in an apt., so have to board...) but I do miss it!
Weather
It's 27 degrees here in Upstate NY with a lot of snow. It's a heat wave for us today. LOL.
Weather in NY
This coming week in Upstate NY it's going to be 95 and possibly above. It should get a little warmer in Lake George, I would think...possibly? It's always a lot of fun in Lake George. When I was young, we went there very year on vacation for many years.
yeah but...Mexico is gorgeous. Hey, I went to Cancun. I look at sm
it this way: If more of us were to vacation and spend our money there enjoying their gorgeous wild life and pretty beaches, that would give them plenty of tourist money and they wouldn't have to leave their country! I respect those hard-working Mexicans who stay in Mexico (like the ones who courted us at the resort), and I support the likes of them. They work hard, stay in their country, and I will give them good tips and help them to help their families as I enjoy snorkeling, deep sea fishing, and great food.
I wouldn't put all Mexicans into a box and say that you wouldn't give them a dime. Yes, there are illegals here who have no morals and I certainly don't support them! But, like I said, I do support those hard-working ones who are staying in their own country. I don't see a problem in that.
These are gorgeous! Now what to pick for my chipmunk-chasing

Gorgeous night walk in the snow.....
Walked the dog last night around 8 pm. There are about 12" of snow on the ground, covering the pines, the roof tops, and blanketing the side street where I live. It was breath-taking, which might have been due to it being 23 degrees, but more so because the sky was inky black with a few clouds here and there, and the stars were so bright. The tress without their leaves were silver, contrasting against the black sky, stars twinkling through their branches. The pines were still bent with the weight of snow and snow-covered Christmas lights on the trees glowed dimly. My footsteps crunching on the packed snow was the only sound heard, with the occasional snorting pig imitation my moronic dog does when snow gets up her nose from sniffing too strongly.
I hate having to dress like Nanook of the North and looking like the Michelin Tire Man, but walks in the night like that make me forget about the insanity I endure M-F, at least for a little while.
Technically it is still fall, this is Maine, so I might have a different take on the snow come March.
Lucky, you! I am sorry I got the spelling of this gorgeous breed SM
wrong. I study dog breeds, know every one in the dog shows, etc. and then made that fo-pa. Not intentional, I assure you. They had the Pembroke and Cardigan. You would have loved it.
Yes. You must make a point to see this next year. It is so adorable and a change of pace for those of us who don't watch the football game. They have them on what looks like a football field with lots of toys and they are all running around, and they play a sound track in the bakground that sounds like fans cherring in the crowd!
Squiters ain't as bad as the below 0 weather..sm
guess I just can't take the humidity and the heat though. I had been to VA beach and it seemed fine to me..not dirty or ugly..I liked it. The women there will steal your husbands if you ain't lookin' though...lost my husband, my home, and had to go through Isabel all alone. Came runnin' back home to WI as soon as divorce courts would allow. bad memories, I guess. some people like it...some people don't. I am one that don't. sorry. but I did love Shenandoah Valley...gorgeous area! Love the mountains!
Could it be cooler weather? - nm

Hello, how are you, nice weather - that's it.

how's the weather? 20 below with windchill here.

bad weather in Atlanta
My sister lives there but they just got a lot of thunder and some rain, northeast of Atlanta. I hate to even hear the word. I hope it quietens there soon for you.
Are you WA state? I am and you just described our weather!
My kids keep asking me to put on the heater but I don't want to because this is when I'm supposed to be SAVING money on electricity. I wonder if the mountain snow is a record of latest lower-land snow? This year has been CRAZY weather!
It's been in the low 70's. Beautiful weather. Come on down!

You can get your local weather

She is gorgeous, and a twin to my niece's beautiful cat, Nina! NM

Doesn't Shemar have the most gorgeous smile you've ever seen? nm

Sunny, gorgeous October day in Cali - (guess that's
It is hot upstate, definitely swim weather, sm
You tend to have cooler temps over there. Upstate and across the river, much warmer.
Hmmm, rather than warm weather, could it be
menopause? I don’t have the sweating during the night. As far as the weather, my grown daughter told me one time if she had been born where there was snow (as you are talking about) as soon as she grew up she would get outta there- it is just what you prefer. I have only been snowed in twice in the past say 15 years and that is fine with me. Oh, I do enjoy the soup and salad at Olive Garden- and eat without sweating.
Where do you live that it is snow weather?
It's been close to 90 almost all week here in central PA. My DH loves snow and is ready to move north.
could be a weather balloon; they were orange
nm
LOL! If you don't like the weather in Georgia, just hang around SM
a while and it will change soon!
How's the weather in your neck of the woods?
Mid 70s here in the Northeast with bright warm sunshine! Woo Hoo ! It's a doozy of a day.
What is the weather, What is the price, size, etc. sm
I am freezing up here. Would love to be able to buy and not rent.
Added fresh chives today. to the egg today.
and a SMIDGE of soy sauce.
Gorgeous! Very nice coat! Does she have a bit of corgi in her? Looks like our corg/shep. mix. nm

I don't bring my dog anywhere around food, unless it's nice weather and
the tables and chairs. It is allowed where I live. I have never seen anyone bring their dog into the grocery store unless it is an assist dog, I do bring my dog in her stroller into the mall and I have yet to have gotten kicked out over it. Children LOVE to look at my dog in the stroller. It is the type of stroller that has a screen on it so children can look and parents are not fearful that my dog would bite. My dog doesn't bite but it's an added precaution.
In comparison, my dog is friendly, is not a yapper, is well groomed, and potty trained. I have seen many, many children who are ill behaved, running around uncontrollably and I've several times passed by babies in strollers who smell like their diaper hasn't been changed in a week.
To the person who supposedly has the severe allergy, I say this...If you have such a severe allergy to dogs, then you most likely have severe allergies to a bunch of other stuff, too, and like the other poster said, you could just as easily be allergic to passing by the perfume counter as you would my 4 lb. chihuahua.
Lastly, to the OP, you need a lesson in manners. Even if you don't agree with the dog being in the store, you shouldn't have gotten ugly with the owner. She was minding her business, why didn't you just mind yours?
"Baghdad" update: crummy weather!
Our weekend in SF was unseasonably crummy - even for San Francisco! I was in Golden Gate Park on Sunday: Fog, drizzle, & wind. Bah!
I hear ya! I am waiting for at least sweater weather.
Doesn't look like it's coming soon.
Wow talk about extremes! What wacky weather! nm

Putting cold weather to good use.
This morning I made home-made chicken stock in my pressure cooker. It's now been strained and is sitting on the back steps in a metal pot. It's only 18 degrees outside, so it shouldn't take long for the fat to come to the top and solidify, which is something I usually have to do overnight in the fridge. I should be having some nice soup for dinner or late afternoon snack today!
We have very changeable weather, lots of extremes.
It can be blazing hot and humid in the summer, and well below freezing in the winter. I'm also a backpacker and am very used to hiking and sleeping in the winter woods, down on the ground with snow all around. I love that, but I'm always prepared for it. At home, I keep the thermostat at 62 during the daytime when I'm home alone. I wear fleece pants and wool sweaters and vests, and I'm usually comfortable. It's 18 outside today, but my heater hasn't come on once except for the morning wake-up when it automatically goes up to 70 for an hour or so. At 3:00 it'll kick up to 68 until 10:00 p.m., and then we sleep through the night back at 62. I couldn't do that if DH were home during the day. He likes the house much warmer than I do.
My office is next to the kitchen, so I'm keeping the chill down by making soup and baking bread today. I get up for a break, knead the dough, let it rise. It's about ready to bake now. Yum!
I'm enjoying this, but I'm sure glad it won't last here for more than a few days.... I hope.
Stay warm!
Normal wear for warm weather is
cutoffs and a T shirt, cold is sweats OR my flannel PJs.
You have fresh peas, too, in that cool northern weather of yours? :) nm

I'm starting to hate this southern weather, seriously. It was in the 90s this week. I don't kn
keep my tanks out. The other night I went to bed in sweats and woke up drenched in sweat. EGAD!!
I used to live in Upstate NY/VT and I miss those winters something terrible. Don't go on and on and on about how lucky I have it, because believe me, I MISS THOSE WEATHERS!! I owned my own John Deere snowblowers and LOVED every minute of it. I loved being snowed indoors. I loved making snow angels. I loved actually being able to eat soup and not sweat like a hog.
I miss it, miss it, miss it. I'm really beginning to resent my husband who has never left the south. I fell in love with him and we've never left. He won't even go up there to visit. He'd live in the Miami keys if it weren't for me. I haven't seen snow in 10 years! Please, someone send some my way.................
South AL is where I live - look up Orange Beach..
