Happy New Year!

The girls were party animals last night. After dinner we danced to hits from the 80s. The girls each enjoyed a yummy rawhide treat from their Aunt Jen. Then at midnight we banged pots and pans on the porch. At about 1AM, Aunt Nikki and Uncle Mike packed up to head home and we all watched from the window as Mike brushed the snow off the car. Once again it was a winter wonderland.

This morning the girls were up at 6:30AM for breakfast. As soon as they finished, we all went right back to bed. I've taken Presley off of all her supplements. I'm just giving her dry food, a combo of her food and Diesel's, because she turns her nose up at anything else. Presley didn't eat all of her breakfast but she has had a bit of gas, I'm sure from the rawhide. At dinner she cleaned her plate.

The girls have taken quite a few naps today. Scott played with Diesel and Bristol outside while he shoveled. Presley was too tired so I petted her while she lounged on her bed. A little later I joined the girls for the late morning/early afternoon nap. I forgot how much I love to take power naps. I think those girls are on to something.

Later in the afternoon, the AT&T repairman had to fix the wire in front of our house. A branch had fallen overnight onto the wire and it was sagging terribly. The girls were having a field day barking at the repairman as they watched him from the front window. He was out front for about an hour and each time he moved to a new spot, they barked as if it were the first time they had seen him. Surprisingly, Presley was the worst offender. She did not like that man on our lawn.

Once again the girls are taking a nap. I'm sure they'll be up in the next hour or two for their last hurrah. We might have to shovel one more time tonight because it is snowing again.
