Snow!

Yes, we actually had snow today.
Ellie wasn't too sure about it. When we first went out, she sniffed it and tried to hop over it.
She did run through it and headed straight for the back door! It was fun to watch her hop around like a bunny.


Her little feet were ice cold. I didn't think she'd need doggy booties here in TX.

Guess I need to knit her a sweater!










I didn't think I'd see snow again unless we went back up north.
This snow is the best kind. It's beautiful falling and such a joy to watch. It's light and fluffy. And best of all... by 3pm it was all melted!!

Meet Ellie Mae

A Silky Terrier (cross between an Australian Terrier and a Yorkshire Terrier)
She is 14 months old (so she is house broken, yea!) She is sweet and lovable.

We brought her home late Friday night. She was calm and shy. Saturday she mostly laid on the couch watched us. I did get her to eat a little treat.

Sunday she ate a little and played a little with a toy monkey (actually she ate the ears off it!) She followed me everywhere. By the evening she was getting use to us and her new home.

Today.... she is currently tossing a busy bone around and chasing it. She has poked her nose into all my yarn baskets and thought the blue yarn (my favorite) is mighty tasty! and fun to chew on the yarn band!! I'd say she is coming along nicely.

p.s. the monkey bit the dust... found stuffing on the floor and gaping hole where the ear should be.
