And for those who managed to stay awake...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008

Looking through the window

My human travelled a great many places prior to my arrival into the world. Here are a few...looking through the windows of Peru.

Machu Picchu and the Andes.

Cusco, Peru

Ollantaytambo, Peru

Christmas in the great north-wet

Before it started to snow I played outside with my new toy that Santa Paws brought me. I love balls on a rope. Will see how long this one lasts. Now I'm curled up infront of the woodstove watching the snow fall.

From my family to yours a very happy Tuesday.

Merry Christmas to all...

And to all a good night.

Season of lights

Even snowmen need lights.

They come from afar (to be said in southern accent)

And if you "don't get it" you ain't putting enough sylables in the last word.

ding fries are done

We who are in the "know", know who to blame for this one. Now I can't this out of my head...Someone will pay...probably w/fries

Quiz time...

And if you can guess what this is...

you win the most wonderful prize I can bestow upon anyone...a wet cold dog nose kiss. Now I don't give these out to just anyone now...

I spy with my (little) eye....

The weather outside is getting colder while I'm curled up in my bed dreaming of cookie bones. While it is not snowing outside now my human and I did get snowed on while traveling on her job today. And with winter starting tomorrow, here are some photos from August when the weather was warm, and sunny.

driftwood and water

A while back my human and I were at the Oregon Coast and took these photos. They have not been touched up so pardon the color and such. With my human's work being so busy lately it is hard for her to update the blog. but she hopes to do more over the weekend and holiday.

A restful weekend

It was such a long week and I needed my rest. And my human caught me napping at her feet, One of my favorite places to nap. After my nap we went to the park and found birds. So thought we would share.

My human and I were very busy this week and didn't have much time to add anything to this blog. So my human was playing with Photoshop and this is what she came up with on short notice.

The December 2007 Flood, Lewis County

My friend Ken, who works with my human, took these photos while down helping his family who was flooded out of their home. So many pets, livestock and humans were injured, displaced and or died in this storm. During this holiday season of giving, it would be good to help those close to home by giving to one of many relief agencies or by giving your time to volunteer.

6 to 8 black men

Now time for a little education...

These are a few of my favorite things...

Raindrops on mosses, and cold dog nose kisses, to chase after "bunnies" and find neighbor kittens. To sleep on down blankies, to run and to dig, these are a few of my favorite things.

Waiting for the mice to start the parade

It has been a very, VERY wet couple of days. Many animals and their human friends have been displaced from their homes because of the rain. I just hope that all are safe, and warm. Many humans have put their own lives on the line to safe their animal friends and help to find their humans. I've been very blessed to have a great human who has been looking out for me to make sure I'm safe, warm and have food. We carry extra in the car in the emergency kit. And I want to thank my human friend Dee for moving my bed before my human and I got to the office. If she had not, my bed would have been really wet and I would not have a comfortable place to sleep. So for her and others out their helping their human and animal friends here are some photos of things when it was sunny and warm.

Last of the weekend snow

There was just enough snow to make my paws cold. But it was wonderful to warm up in front of the woodstove with my human drinking hot tea and reading. I slept much of the day which is not bad for a Sunday afternoon. Hope everyone had a restful weekend and a good week ahead.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

It wasn't much but enough for me to explore. I didn't want to put my coat on so I went back inside pretty quickly. But I did have fun seaching through the snow. I just can't wait till there is enough in the mountians so I get to go snowshoe with my human. She wears the snowshoes, I have my own boots to keep my feet warm.



Hope all are safe with the snow and it getting dark. Stay warm, dry and drink cocoa. I get chicken broth instead.

Only the best of bones,

Nigel
