Hooray for the Terriers!

Favored Scottish Terrier Wins Westminster Title

Well it is too bad that an Airedale didn't make it into the Best in Show competition at Westminster (the Airedale came in 4th in the Terrier group).  But it is nice that a Scottish Terrier did win Best in Show!  Sadie is very nice looking but my person reassures me that she thinks I have a sweeter smile!

And then there are the Lakelands.....

Some thought that my predecessor Tucker was not a Welshie but a Lakeland....

Welshies aren't Airedales...

But they sure are cute!

Look at all of those Airedales!

Look at all of those Airedales!

Once again, it has been a while since I posted to my blog but I've been busy.  We've had a few snow storms, which have been a lot of fun (even if my people are tired of snow).  In between storms I went to the groomers where I had my hair done.  I didn't get clipped since I love to spend time outside but I did get this nice fluffy hair doo (and pink bow!) that everyone seems to like.  I've also been to the vet where I learned that I have a thyroid condition and will need to take medication for the rest of my life.  On the upside, with every pill comes a serving of cheese!  This thyroid condition also explains why I keep gaining weight.  I'm currently 93 pounds!  My people have put me on a diet and exercise regimen.  I'm not too happy about this.  However, I have been watching the Airedales being shown in the Westminster Dog Show (which I have linked to on my blog in a separate post) and I do see that compared to them I'm a bit out of shape.  In my next post, I hope to report that I've lost some weight...

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!  I've been enjoying the holiday season and the cold spell that we are in.  My person spent a week in warm and sunny Costa Rica.  I missed her but I don't think I would like Costa Rica--it is too hot for me.  I'm happy that she is back now but can't figure out why she won't spend hours outside with me in the snow.

Here you can see me with our Christmas tree, I thought it was great that they brought into the house a tree for me to take naps under!   I was very curious about all of those ornaments so they had to make sure that I didn't try to steal any.

I've also been going for walks in the snow, which is great fun. Here you can see me on one of my hikes.  I've also posted a photo of the beach in Costa Rica.  I don't know why everyone thinks it is so great, it looks pretty hot to me, I prefer snow!

Snow, Snow, Snow!

It snowed this past weekend and my people learned how much I LOVE SNOW! I've spent the weekend playing in the snow, playing hide and seek, catch with snowballs and racing around and having fun. Yesterday, we went for a walk in the woods, it was great to go exploring through the woods and snow. In the summer, I would get tired really quickly and want to go into the house to rest. Now, I want to spend the entire day outside. I've grown a heavy winter coat and I can't wait for the next snow storm!
