First Snowshoe

This is the first chance we've had to go snowshoeing. B really enjoyed it. The snow was so fresh and soft, it was like walking on clouds. It's so nice to just be able to go into the backyard and then hit the trails from there.

Sorry for the blurry shots, I only had the phone with me, and it was getting dark.

B: "Hurry up and get those things on so we can go!"

Is that a bear coming? So we turned around
and headed for home.

"Therapy Dogs" Spreading Christmas Cheer at Hospital

These "Therapy Dogs" were spreading Christmas Cheer to the patients in Med/Surg.

It was very kind of these dogs and their people to take time out from Christmas Day to visit and cheer up patients.

Their people said these dogs are "American Labrador Retrievers". Both dogs weigh 125+ pounds and are apparently normal size for their breed.

They visited my father, along with other patients, and both dogs were very gentle and sweet. 

Sorry for blurry photos, taken with phone. 

 

Guess Who . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . .  B went to visit today?

B had a wonderful time, and passed out this evening from exhaustion in front of the fire in the fireplace because she was so excited to see Santa Claus and other dogs. 

B gave Santa her Christmas List, which I'm sure had tennis balls and treats on it. ;-)

Enjoy the photos of B with Santa.

Saturday at Work

A quiet day at work. B does very well, and is content to hang out under the desk.

Dog Get Together

Today B and I met a CCI Board Member that is local, and her two CCI Therapy dogs.

We hiked at Paige Meadows. After the hike, we went to the local high school to use their tennis courts for the dogs to play.

At the tennis courts, we threw balls for the dogs. B really was having a lot of fun. Then this man from California Fish & Game comes up to us and requests that we put our dogs away, as they are about to release a bear back into the wild. So we run to the cars, put the dogs in the cars and run back hoping to see the bear go by, but we missed it.

It was great to meet her and her two CCI Therapy dogs.

What a beautiful girl!
