Our Furry Babies in the Snow...

It's cold, 4 degrees this morning, and we are expecting a high of 23 degrees today, but at least the sun is out.  Izzie and Emmi have differing opinions about the snow.  Izzie LOVES it, she runs through it, rolls in it, and isn't in much of a hurry to come inside.  Emmi, in her little coat, HATES the snow.  She stands at the door, looking up at me like she's asking why she has to go out there... She stays inside the path that is shoveled for her, or at least very near the path, and she rushes back inside as quickly as she can.  Although, as I've said before, if she sees a squirrel out there she would run after it and not pay any attention to the snow.  With her ears flying in the breeze and her feet kicking up the snow, she tries her best to catch those squirrels.  It's funny!!  The other thing she likes is when daddy is outside with them... They both love it when he tosses snowballs, they run and try to catch them as they break apart in their mouths, it's cute.  Emmi doesn't pay any attention to the fact that she's in the cold snow when she's playing with daddy!!  When it's this cold outside though, they can't be out too long, their paws can't take the cold snow too long.  I know they have doggie boots, but neither of our dogs would like that very much! lol!  Emmi is a good sport about her coat, but that's about all she would go for!

Snow!

A snowstorm came through here beginning on Thursday evening and ending mid morning on Friday... We got about a foot of snow and because of all the wind, we also got some pretty big and deep drifts!  One of which was right in front of the garage door, delaying my drive to work.  George shoveled me out and off to work I went.  Once the storm passed it was beautiful, the sun came out and the snow glistened as the sun shined on it.  I love the look of a blanket of untouched snow, especially when the sun is out, so pretty... So peaceful.  

One of our dogs, Izzie, LOVES the snow.  She lays in it, rolls in it, pounces like a puppy in it... But Emmi, she HATES the snow, and the look on her little face when she begins to walk outside and sees snow that's taller than herself... Well it's priceless, makes me smile!  So, just like every winter that Emmi has lived with us, George shoveled a nice path for her.  She's been sick, poor Emmi.  She got some kind of virus and is just beginning to feel better, so it surprised me that today she veered off her path and jumped right into the snow to join Izzie in play!  We were so happy to see her wanting to play.  George threw snowballs and they ran and jumped after them, it was so cute!  So I ran in the house to grab my camera in hopes to capture the moment...
 Snow...


  Izzie LOVES it...




Emmi HATES it...


I swear she looks like she's asking, "What is this crap?"



But sometimes, like today, Emmi plays in the snow!




...And then Emmi hightails it back to the warm house!

Zehnder's Snowfest 2013

We lucked out this year at the Zehnder's Snowfest, the sun was out and it wasn't windy, so it was very nice walking around enjoying all of the snow and ice sculptures.  We have gone every year since I've lived here (2009) and each time I froze!!!  We went on Saturday and I thought we were going too late in the day because the sun had been out all morning but was disappearing on us.  As soon as we got to Frankenmuth, the sun came out and stayed out.  Yay!  There were some great sculptures this year and I took lots of pictures, here are just a few.

This one was titled 'Windblown' ~ 
We were commenting on how our hair never looks this 'calm' in the wind.



 This Sailboat had so much great detail, 
difficult to capture in a photograph...


 I thought they did a good job on the little Planter's Peanut Guy


 This Dolphin was one of my favorites!



Star Wars...


This one also had a lot of great detail... 
Couldn't get the whole piece in the picture though

Which one is your favorite?

A Winter Wedding!

A Custom Made Cake Topper I created for a Winter Wedding!  Instead of holding a bouquet of flowers, this bride has her hands in a warm fur muff, decorated with a little white bow.  The little Puggles are dressed in their little winter coats, each with their name on them.  The base is made with white clay with glitter added, and it sparkles like beautiful snow.









.¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)
(¸.•´ (¸.•` ♥  This topper is listed in my Etsy Shop as an example of a Cake Topper that I can customize and personalize just for you!  Click HERE to see more about this Wedding Cake Topper in my Etsy Shop.  And, of course, no two toppers are ever the same!  Each is lovingly handmade by me, they are made to be one of a kind toppers and keepsakes to be enjoyed for years to come.  :)

The Snow Has Arrived!

Well, last week was a snowy week... We had our first snowfall.  Our dog, Izzie, LOVED that the snow was back, she looked at us with BIG happy eyes and ran and pounced and even rolled in the snow.  However, our daughter's dog, Emmi, didn't like it at all!  She's so funny, because you have to shovel a path and drag her outside, but as soon as she sees a squirrel she runs through the snow like it's summertime grass!!  LOL!  It rained over the weekend and the snow is mostly gone now, but I thought I'd share a few pictures of our first snowfall of this season.

Our front yard, I took the picture as I was leaving for work.
The roads were very slippery!

Our back yard looking toward the creek...

This picture isn't very good, taken at night, but Izzie was having a 
GREAT time!!  You can see her on the left...

A Snowy Season!

I was hoping that this was the last of the snow for this winter season!  But as I write this, I see that snow is in our ten day forecast... Wow!  I think spring is going to show up sometime in May or June this year (possibly July! LOL!).  As you can see in these pictures, the creek that runs along the back of our yard is frozen solid.  Our dog, Izzie doesn't quite understand why she can't get good footing in some areas of our yard.  She looks at me as if to say; "Fix this problem Mom"  ~  And I tell her I wish I could, because I find it difficult to walk outside right now too, especially when I have her on the leash.  She's 50 plus pounds and sometimes I feel like I'm skiing or sledding behind her as she pulls me, trying to get to wherever she wants to go with such excitement.  She really needs to learn to 'heel' better!  It's quite funny to see, I'm sure!  In fact, George was pulling into the driveway, coming home from work one day, while I was "walking" Izzie, and she began to run and I began to slide... And of course George began to laugh.  Yes, it is a funny sight!









.¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)
(¸.•´ (¸.•` ♥ Above is a picture of Izzie. I took that picture right before she decided to take off running, and  when she did, I dropped my camera in the snow.  She really didn't care at all, she just wanted to run and play!  I'm still too nervous to let her run free when I take her outside right before I go to work, so I keep her on a leash... I can just picture her chasing a squirrel or a bird ~ And I would be chasing after her and then I'd be late for work.  She is still learning her boundaries!  It's a slow process... Too many distractions for her out here in the country!

(¸.•´ (¸.•` ♥ The only flower in our yard... An ice covered metal sunflower!  It added a pop of color, which I most especially appreciated on all the dreary winter days!
