Shhhh Lucian.....shhh Lucy , Chandler and Daryl,.....don't tell Merry Myrtle and Frankie your humans shovel paths for you! They have to forge their own way! Now if I coukd just teach them to clear off my steps and my vehicle!

Okay, some snuggle pics first. Frankie the "lap dog fuzzy blankie"

When Merry Myrtle sleeps "with" me, she literally lays across me and just snuggles. She's a very heavy blankie though! And if I stop letting her she pla ts her foot right on my face! She has a very heavy foot!

Awe Sally I'm sitting here with the biggest smile on my face.  Wow Frankie is fast!  And Myrtles bling surely looks good on her. Rene does beautiful work.  The love between you and your furfaces is truly something to behold and so special to see.  You three are so tuned in to each other.  Thanks so much as always for sharing.  Always love seeing your pics and videos!

Love,

Yeah Frankie is one fast fella in the snow! !! Loved the snuggle pics...snuggles with the fur kids is the best. Lucian is quite the snuggle himself in bed. No need for lots of blankets when he's in bed...he's like a little furnace. 

And Myrtle ' s collar is very attractive! !

Take care and stay warm! 

Sahana and her Angel Leland and Lucian too

WOW... all these great snow photos and videos!!! Jasper and I might have a touch of snow envy! I hope Bonnie posts a video of the maze she made for her kids. Seriously.. aside from being in the mountains to ski, I've never seen that much snow in a city! 

So Jasper and I spent our weekend at the beach but we won't share photos... it just seems mean! LOL 

They look great and I am so glad you all are safe and warm and cozy!!! Hugs!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

OH MY HOLY COW!!!!!! That is a heck of a lot of snow for you guys.  Frankie is super lightening fast.  Myrtle I love it.  Takes her time but she is so cute.  I can't believe that the snow hits her in her arm pits. 

That is so awesome great pictures.  I love the bling reflection in the snow.  So pretty. 

those are the best kind of blankets 🙂

Aww Sally, your blankets are soo cute.  I adore Miss Myrtle May's kissable mug.  And don't show the girls that collar or they will be hocking me to get them their own.

Thanks for sharing.  Stay warm my friend.

Karma, Adelaide and the pack, and always with our angel Brendol

Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury.  Her amp was on 10/1/12.  She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera.  We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.

Oh Sally, all these pics and videos are fantastic !!! Frankie has so much love and enjoyment of life, he reminds me so much of Zuzu, nothing gets her down !! Even with her serious heart valve issues, she plays hard, lives hard, and loves hard....... And Myrtle is a bit more sensible like Pearl 😊 All this snow can be a P.I.T.A. For us, but our pups absolutely LOVE it !!

Much Love,
Bonnie, Angel Polly, Pearl, and Zuzu

P.S. I adore Myrtle's beautiful collar designed by Rene, it is perfect for her 💜🐾
