More Snow….

Saturday, February 6, 2010 5:59 pm Posted in For Fun!, General - Dogs

Well, it seems “the lady doth protest too much, methinks,” aptly fits my current state given my prior post.  I complained, you see, about having to run on the treadmill due to our constant pummeling of snow this winter.

So, the God of Nature showed me – she dumped 30 inches of the white stuff upon me and now, alas, even the gym is closed.  I believe I’ll stop complaining.

I ventured out this morning but conditions were so nasty and the snow so deep, I didn’t stay out long.  Here are a few from inside my snow globe.

After shoveling all day, my husband made a tiny dent in our driveway. Niles and Lily were grateful.

Snow

Thursday, February 4, 2010 11:00 am Posted in For Fun!

It’s been an unusual winter for us here in northern Virginia.  This is my fourth winter here.  And though it’s only the start of February, we have had more snowfall since December than in my past three winters combined.

I’m not much of a winter person. I like warmth. The older I get the more my joints really appreciate those balmy temperatures! Plus, I’m a runner. I’m a runner who prefers running outdoors to a treadmill – a  million times over.  This snow cramps my style.

That said, there is sometimes such beauty in this white stuff.  It is so breathtaking at times that even I, hater of cold, am lured out into its wonder.  With my camera of course…

So, though it’s only the start of February and the luscious warmth of spring seems so very far away, I’ll stop for a moment and enjoy the beauty of winter.

In Memory – “Boo”

Wednesday, February 3, 2010 11:40 am Posted in In Memory

We had the sad news yesterday that our dear friend Marjorie said goodbye to her sweet boy Boo. We photographed Boo last May at Marjorie’s daughters house as a surprise birthday gift.

At that time Boo was just weeks away from his 15th birthday. A spry, alert fellow, we fell instantly in love with this little character. That he had charmed most everyone he met, most of all Marjorie, was clearly obvious.

Boo, it seems, had always been quite a personality. Marjorie told us that one of Boo’s favorite past times was to watch TV. Whenever an animal was on-screen Boo became the performer – jumping, pirouetting, and barking. It seems, for reasons which shall remain unknown to everyone except Boo, Diana Ross’ hair evoked the same response….

He loved children but was totally devoted to his dear human, Marjorie. She tells us towards the end of his life Boo really only knew where he was when he was in Marjorie’s lap. And he would sit there for as long as he could keep Marjorie in one place.

Finally, after 15 1/2 years, Marjorie said goodbye to Champion Hollybriar Sweet Baboo. He was a champion on so many levels. Our deepest sympathy to Marjorie on her loss of this sweet, sweet boy.  We know he is deeply missed.
