Izzy Update

I just received an E-mail this morning from Izzy's dad along with a couple of photos. Doesn't she look great! She's fillling out and growing up and is still as cute as ever. What a sweet, special dog Miss Izzy is.

In this picture the little Texas transplant is experiencing her first snow and her dad said that she was less than thrilled with the stuff.

Here at our house the dogs are also having a little snow time. Frodo doesn't mind it and actually likes trying to catch snowballs in his mouth. Bess just acts like nothing has changed but Tilly is a little primadonna and doesn't like her toes to touch the snow. She tries to get away with peeing on the doormat so she doesn't have to move away from the door so now I get to bundle up and carry her across the yard to where the big Douglas firs have kept the ground clear of snow. Then I get to stand and shiver while she takes her sweet time marking every plant in the snow free zone and trying to find the perfect spot to poop - you know the routine - sniffing every spot and then circling in ever narrower circles, spiraling down to the perfect spot. The temperature is in the teens tonight so by the time we come back inside my teeth are chattering and I'm frozen.

Stay tuned for an introduction of our newest foster, Rocket, who will join us here after he has knee surgery on December 29th.
