Worst Of Winter


We are working our way through the worst of winter.  -25F and windy.  Too cold for me outside, but the pups seem to still like sitting out on the deck.  Even at night, when it is REALLY cold.  Dhali doesn't have a very thick coat, but he will go outside at 5am and lay in the dog bed on the deck.  The frozen dog bed.


Last Sat., before the temp. dropped to depressing levels, we went with my Mom to a race.  She got first place in her age group!  Again ;)  While they were running the race Dhali and I hung out on the beach and walked on the lake.  It was still pretty chilly, so we also waited in the car to warm up.
Dhali was very suspicious of the small boy wearing a spiky hat with a tail, goggles and carrying a round sled. Also, yelling, "Puppy!  Puppy!"
We walked the other direction on the lake away from that kid!


This is a castle that they build out of ice chunks from the lake.  It has a big sledding hill built into it.  Down the hill and out on to the ice.  It looked like fun!




Another suspicious child with strange ears......

Frozen 5k 2011

My Mom (Tibby's Grandma) ran in the Frozen 5k today.  She runs in it every year.  This year she got 1st place in her age group!
It was -13F when they ran.  Last year, 2010 it rained and in 2009 it was -40F.

-13F is still cold. 




A tiny piece of my Mom's head is in this picture.


It was so cold that the time clock stopped working.
Because of that, some people didn't get their time recorded.


Here she comes!


There she is! 
Yes, her coat is unzipped.

Cold?

Lake Ranger

Tibby and I walked on the lake again.  We should have just stayed on the lake, but I wanted to go up a few hills like we did yesterday.  I was trying to get Tibby tired out, because we have our agility class tomorrow.  Anyway, we went onto the shore and the Park Ranger caught me with Tibby off leash.  He was really nice about it, but I felt like an idiot.  He was driving a PT Cruiser and they are (apparently) very quiet cars.  Tibby was a good girl.  The Ranger's car was behind us and I thought Tibby would run at it, because 1-it was a car and 2- it was SILVER (aaaah Tibby's favorite color).  She just stood and waited until I caught up to her and I put on her leash.  The Ranger waited until he saw me put on Tibby's leash and then he waved and drove away.








This is the ice we are walking on.  There is a little snow on top.  Every once in a while I come across some deep cracks - freaks me out!!


Same spot.

Freeze That Bee!

Tibby wanted to take her Bee outside.
I"m not sure how the Bee liked it.


Bee says, "It's cold out here!  Brrrrrr!"
Tibby says, "Can't hear yoooou!  Now we'll see who tattles on me!"

Bee Bum.



Bee - "I'm flying!"

Tibby - "Hmmm, Bee head's are pretty tasty..........when they're frozen."

Pup-sicles

When I want to keep Tibby busy for a few minutes I give her one of these.
Recipe here  on my other blog.
These have salmon and yogurt in them.
Tibby loves them!



"Yarm!"

"Gulp."

"Mo pweas?"
