We took Savannah to meet Santa Paws this afternoon. We had originally planned to take all three of the dogs, but (wisely) thought better of it. Savannah went into overdrive when we got there. She barked quite a bit in line. Then came the picture taking. She refused to look at the camera and kept flopping on the fake snow in front of Santa. After several tries, we got one really good picture of everyone. It was pretty fun even though Savannah left her manners at home!

Grass??

Our new straw yard. Hopefully the grass will grow and replace our mud pit of a backyard.

Timberrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

The largest tree in our backyard started to fall and then just hung there at a 45 degree angle for around 24 hours. The weight of the ice was finally too much and the tree fell. Luckily it didn't hit anything other than our chain link fence.
