Frosts the Nose and bites the Toes!

Cuddling with Mommie
Have you ever heard of a dog taking a cat nap?
The weather for the month of January has not been unreasonable.  We have had mostly above freezing conditions during most of the days this month.  As we move into February, we should see colder weather with some snow that will lie around for awhile.  The snowfall in January couldn't have been better.  With an opportunity of maybe at the most 2 inches during the month. We were threatened with up to 12" + last Monday (26th) and we nary got an inch.  It was lovely seeing a couple of feet land in New York and above.  Can't even fathom the snowfall Maine received. 
Anyone asking about our Pixie... we're happy to say she is well and very lovable!  She knows the time for snackies (about 9:30-10 PM) and we rush to the kitchen to spoil her.  We have re-immortalized the red rubber plaything she adored many years ago.  We fill it with a couple of her tasty snacks and roll it toward her.  She'll slobber all over it until those two candies drop into her mouth and then it's time to gather some more. Sometime last November Pixie became a late riser so we usually wait until 9 or so in the morning to wake her.  When we get up, one of us takes a article of clothing and covers her with it to keep the light from her eyes and to have her feel a closeness to us.  Our little girl is feeling fine and we are so happy to have her with us!
