Double Digits

Today is Zodiac's (assigned) birthday!  Unbelievably, he's 10 years old (we think).  Jerry and I are both home from work today due to weather conditions so we are celebrating with some homemade Peanut Butter and Bacon cookies (dogs seem to like them, sound gross to me but were easy to make) and later we will be playing in the snow! 
Since Zodiac is 10 I thought it would be nice to list 10 things I love about him so here goes...

1.  He's beautiful!
2.  He is the epitome of the versatile Border Collie.
3.  He's gentle with kids and puppies.
4.  He was a fun agility dog.
5.  He was a reliable obedience and rally dog.
6.  He's a natural therapy pet.
7.  He's fun to watch herd.
8.  He loves to snuggle and can keep your feet warm.
9.  He will try anything I ask of him.
10.  He has funny quirky behaviors that make him unique.

Happy Birthday Baby Z!



Meanwhile...

We are definitely getting snow here, but not sure about a "blizzard."  Because the wind is blowing the snow into drifts it's hard to say how much there is but the grass is covered and I don't think we are done yet. 

Po seems better today.  He's still acting fine, has not vomited since about 8PM last night and has kept down a small breakfast today.  I may give him another snack in a little bit.  Hopefully all foreign objects have "exited."  And here are few pictures of the little cutie pie from this afternoon.

What a fun birthday for Zodiac! Nothing like spending a day at home cuddled up with your pups :) That little puppy is such a fluff ball, too cute! Hope you all are staying warmer than we are- it's a whole -19 degrees here in Colorado- BRRR!

Happy Birthday Zodiac! I'm sure those biscuits are very yummy to a dog. Glad to hear the pup is doing better, maybe a lesson has been learnt.
