Currently,the Winter Olympics are on and like most people I have a favorite event/sport.  Do you?  Mine is Curling.  I know, I know.  Most people watch curling and say it’s either not a sport or that it’s just plain boring.  Well the 70 year old shuffle boarder inside of me begs to differ.  I found a love for Curling when Derek was laid up with his broken leg about 4 years ago.  The 2 weeks he was out of work were the exact 2 weeks the Winter Olympics aired.

Since we were stuck inside ALL DAY…EVERYDAY there is not much to do but watch TV.  During the day is usually when they air the less popular sports like Curling.  I don’t enjoy the anxiety that the other more physically demanding and competitive sports bring.  I’m a worrier.  I don’t really understand why I love Curling, but I do.  Just watch this video about how addictive it is and maybe it will help you non-believers understand.

The dogs really love playing in snow.  Cohen likes it a bit too much.

So, Christmas day was the big reveal.  Derek and I thought it would be a great idea to record our family’s reaction to the news.  We figured that we would all be so wrapped up in the excitement of it all that no one would remember how it all really went down.  This is the video from my in-laws house.  We’ll the two videos from their house.  Derek started up the camera again when they checked out the ultrasound.  ENJOY~

For my parents house we used my dad’s video camera to film. However, the file he gave me of the day’s events is in a format that I can’t upload to the web. So, once we get that little hiccup fixed I will then post that video.

If you were like me, and didn’t catch the Tournament of Roses Parade this year….just look at what we missed.  Snowboarding Dogs!  I usually don’t care to watch parades unless I know someone in it or I’m actually standing on the side of the street watching the thing with my own two eyes.  However, for snowboarding dogs I would have made an exception.

Here is a video of the pups in action.  I think this was a demonstration they put on before they hit the parade route.

Love It!

Wrigley has a love of tennis balls.  She doesn’t like to play fetch or anything like that, no this little girl just enjoys the gum like chewiness of those little yellow fuzzy circles.  She looks so freakin’ adorable when she does this.  It keeps her entertained for hours, or at least until it rolls our of her reach.

I was looking through our home videos the other day and came across this one of Wrigley’s 1st bath….her 1st bath as our dog anyway.  She is being such a good girl.

Now, she R U N S past the bathroom door with her ears pressed flat, and her head ducked down between her shoulders as if to say….IF I SCURRY BUY THE BATHROOM DOOR ALL CROUCHED DOWN MAYBE I’LL BE INVISIBLE, AND THROW ME IN THE TUB.

Look how tiny she is in this video.  She’s a healthy 70-something lbs today.  When we adopted her she had just weaned a litter of puppies.  This caused her to have a case of the droopy boobies.  (that ’s the best thing I could think to call them)  If you look closely you can see them dangling in the video.  You will be glad to know that today you would never have guessed that she ever nursed puppies….7 puppies to be exact.
