NW Okie Corner

Here it is Saturday afternoon by the fireplace in the valley of southwest Colorado -- trying to keep warm.

Friday afternoon in Southern Oklahoma a friend told me that it got a bit warmer there during the day, but when the sun went down, it got really cold. They also tell me that by Sunday afternoon in parts of Oklahoma that it will be back up to 60F. AND... Alva will probably be a bit colder in the Northwest quadrant of Oklahoma.

While we were rearranging things to find a place for our christmas tree and decorations this year, Duchess found herself and her suspicous looking twin lurking on the other side of the mirror in our little office area off of the living room. It wasn't "Alice" through the "Looking Glass." It was Duchess!

Sadie has been a bit nosy around the christmas decorations this week. With "bad dog" being shouted at her on numerous occasions. So... Duchess' and her mirror-twin-self were hired to keep and eye on Sadie. Notice Duchess keeping an eye on her twin. AND... Sadie knows she has done something wrong. She takes that reclining, posture of a pup on her backside and knows she has made her human being upset with her. BUT... she's just a pup and will hopefully, quickly learn.

Here is a glimpse of the Wagner's Christmas holiday decor this year (December, 2005) for the holidays! Notice the two sleeping, snoozing Pugs in the recliner next to the tree. Well! You can't really see that black pug (Sadie). BUT... she is to the right of Duchess. It is just one of those reclining moments of NW Okie's two pugs after a day of decorating (or un-decorating for some)!

Yep!... Just two weeks before Christmas! We are still wondering where the month of November, October and September have gone! AND... Where is the snow! In New England, we suppose! Here in SW Colorado we are (probably) about two months behind in our snowfall for this year.
