The big chill

We Californians are experiencing a bit of a cold spell. Temperatures have been dipping into the twenties for the last few days so this morning when we were walking through the park we noticed this frozen leaf. Daddy had to take a picture because this leaf was so sparkly it looked like it was encrusted with diamonds. How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

Loving the cold weather

When we got home today the temperature was 57 degrees so of course Teddy was in heaven. Some like it warmer than 60 degrees in the house and some like it cooler. What temperature do you prefer?

Happy Tuesday everyone, it's Sierra! Mommy and Daddy have been worried about me. I've had a pretty bad cough for the past few days. I am enjoying cozying up by the fireplace and laying underneath the blankets. Mommy thinks I might have caught a cold...but l'll never tell.

It was...

...fifty nine degrees in our home today. I guess that was cold to the pawrents because out came the blankets. I thought I'd give the blanket thing a try. It was good for about .5 seconds and then I got really hot. I don't think I'm a big fan of blankets. What about you?

Snow trip FAIL!!!

Mommy took the day off today so she could spend most of the morning getting ready for our trip to Lake Tahoe. We were more than happy to have the day off from work too. Daddy went to work a half day without us. Fast forward a few hours to us pulling into the driveway of our cabin. Daddy noticed that the lights were on, panic set in, and the phones were pulled out to look at our cabin schedule. Mommy has been so busy with work that she got our weekends mixed up. We enjoyed our dinner al fresco in the pawesome frigid weather. It was 17 degrees tonight. We played in the first snow of the season before heading home. See you soon Lake Tahoe. We hope the snow is here to stay.

Sierra's Scoop

We received an award from Haopee at My Dogs Love Me.

The Illuminating Blogger Award required us to share one interesting fact about ourselves and for it to be forwarded to others. 1. Sierra loves to be scratched. Anytime. Anywhere. She could be scratched all day. 2. Teddy loves the cold, especially the snow. It can be the dead of winter and he wants to be outside...even if it's ten o'clock at night. 3. Daddy loves snowboarding. He wishes he could've been a professional snowboarder...doing what he loves all day long. 4. Mommy loves animals of all sorts. She wishes she would've went to school to be a Vet. We want to pass this award along to all our friends who want to pawticipate. It's always fun getting to know each other better.

Happy New Year Take 2

We spent the very first day of 2012 with Mommy's side of the family. Look at this feast. Grandma really outdid herself.


After dinner, it was time to go outside and sit by the fire. The humans roasted some marshmallows.


And ate some ice cream. I guess there is something magical about eating ice cream when it's cold outside.


We can't imagine a more pawfect day than being with family...and spending it outside (that was my favorite part).

Happy Tuesday, everyone! It's Sierra. It was so cold today that I just wanted to sleep on the couch and snuggle with a blanket. So far we have only used the heater once this year and that was on Black Friday. Tonight it is down to 58 degrees in our house. I think I need a thicker coat cause it feels like 20 degrees right now. I wonder if the heater will get turned on again? How warm...or cold is it in your house?

Sierra's Scoop

Happy Tuesday, everyone, it's Sierra! Today we were dreaming about

about cooler temps (this was at the end of Feb.).

Because it was THIS hot today.

How hot is it where you live?

Guess who...

...is in the snow? That's right!!! Sierra and I are here at our snow covered cabin. There was a lot of traffic on the drive up so I was able to leave some pee-mail on the freeway.

This is my kind of weather. I think minus two degrees is the coldest Mommy's truck has ever seen in the fur.

Sierra and I are surrounded by snow everywhere we go!!!

Cousin Andrew's friend brought her fur baby, Rocco. Sierra and I are having a ton of fun playing with him.

Sierra's Scoop

Bbbuuurrrrrrr. It is feeling really cold right now. So cold that I needed to wear a scarf today. Plus I wanted to look cute for my photo shoot. Tonight is going to be the coldest night this month so along with my scarf, I am definitely going to sleep with my blanket. Is it cold where you live? If so, what are you doing to stay warm?

Look what Mommy...

...made. I mean, knitted. She knitted a headband to keep her head and ears warm. Sometimes she gets really cold. She wanted me to model it for all my friends. I think she did a great job. She's been learning how to crochet too. As she gets better and better I expect to see lots and lots of knitted/crocheted toys for Sierra and me. My first request will be a squirrel or a mouse or a bone. Doesn't that sound fun?

A New Neighbor

We have new neighbors moving in next door to us. We met them tonight as we were coming home from our walk. They have a 4 month old Akita named Raiden. Mommy and Daddy thought he was cute. I wasn't sure about him though because he hasn't had his big boy surgery. Maybe after that happens, we will become good friends. Mommy didn't have time to take pictures of Raiden. I'll make sure that she gets some soon though. I hope everyone is staying warm. It was 58 degrees in our house this morning. I loved it but Mommy and Daddy thought it was way too cold.

Sierra's Scoop

It was so cold today! Daddy had to give me an extra blanket before he went to work. Tonight we went to Grandpa's birthday party. It was really a crab feast and I could barely eat my boring food after the smell of crab and butter filled the air. Grandpa made me kiss my Uncle Bey Bey, and to top it off it was on the lips too. Yucky! I don't even kiss Mommy or Daddy on the lips. I think my Uncle Bey Bey has a secret crush on me. Eeeewwwww!!!!!!!!

Sierra's Scoop

It was a little cold and very windy at our house today. Teddy kept me warm during my nap on the big bed until Daddy came home. Then we went for a walk, and thank goodness for our leashes because we felt like we were going to blow away like a cow in a twister. Here is a secret... underneath all my hair I have spots like a cow. I'm too modest though and I blush just thinking about my skin being photographed through my hair. I'm a lady you know.
