It's a Happy New Year If You're a Dog!

We are dog sitting this dog in the center of this Happy New Year post my husband created for my friend.  We took our dog and her dog snow shoeing today and they spent much of their time noses buried in snow digging for field mice which they never found.  The snow is probably a foot deep, frozen over and hard to walk in but we all managed.  Northern New England is expecting another big storm tomorrow with another 12" predicted and brutal sub zero temps and wind chills.  

Hoping you had a grand New Year's Eve and are ringing in 2014 with happiness and a warm puppy!

Yup, that's my dawg

He's older now.  He can't jump as high as he once did (scroll to bottom of the blog).  But his spirit is willing and his heart is strong.  He shadows my husband, Alpha Dog, with an almost pathological demeanor.  He jumps to attention every time the truck keys jangle.  He cries when we go away leaving him in the hands of his granny and our sons. He's happiest riding in the truck, head out the window, barking as cars go by.   He is probably 9-10 years old now, once a runaway pup, about 6 months old, when we took him in.  

His name is Dewey.
