Okie's NW Corner

Oakie and I were trying to figure what to write, share with you all this week. We have been snow-bound in the Rocky Mountains for a few days. So... I used all my cute little puppy ways to entice Oakie into letting me write this weekend's first issue of January, 2004. It doesn't take much to get my way around here. I can always get a smile, laugh out of Oakie with the simplest things. I have her wrapped around my paws. So... here I am sharing some of our Snow Mountain Retreat (SMR) experiences, photos. We just love this soft, fluffy, white stuff they call snow up here in the mountains. And... We love being snowed in for the first few days of the New Year 2004. We are making the most of each day into January, 2004.

I was hoping to talk my friend Daisy in to adding a few lines of thought -- BUT... it's really hard getting arise out of her sometimes. You see... she is an older dog than I am -- more set in her ways. Us young pups can run circles, haul-ass around those old dogs sometimes. BUT... I have the upmost respect for Daisy -- in awe of her years of experience, knowledge. I still like to see if I can get her to play, chase around the house, though.

The wind does not blow up here like it does in Oklahoma... so you do not feel the cold chill to the bones at our snow mountain retreat. Yep! That is "moi" in the upper left corner trampling through about a foot of snow to find a place to take care of business. Oakie scooped a perfectly good "Dog-path" for that purpose, but I just love to jump and prance in this fluffy, dry, white stuff they call snow. Just makes me smile all over. That picture to the right is my friend Daisy in the blue sweater. She is showing me the ropes up here. Did you know that she single-handedly scared a big bear out of her backyard in the Summer of 2002? WOW! Daisy barely escaped his clutches and ended up being rushed to the Vet for stitches in her left-front shoulder, leg. She was the famous Bear-dog that summer. That other picture in the lower-left is me standing out in the roadway like I own the place.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
