It’s amazing how I always know when it’s the right time to head outside…usually when it’s pouring rain (why can’t I ask to go outside before it rains?) or for instance last night, I asked to head outside and was surprised to see it snowing…really really hard. We were in the middle of watching the Browns lose to the Steelers (knew that would happen) and I had to go out. Silver dollar sized snowflakes started piling up on top of my head, back, and tip of my tail, until I shook, then in seconds, they were back on top of me. That snow lasted for only about an hour or so, but it blanketed the ground so nicely. Even while watching the Browns game, we noticed the snow starting to fall on the field and players as the weatherman predicted it would. Today, we are supposed to get hit with more snow to make the morning commute to work really bad, so buckle down Cleveland, we are finally going to get the snow that we have been so lucky to miss so far.
We had to laugh one day while driving around, when we came across this snow blowin sign near the side of the road. Snow blowin? Really? Come on! Isn’t it called Snow Plowing? We laughed none the less.
I had a really super great Christmas with lots of toys that I found under the tree. Remember the little round bally thing I kept watching under the tree, well, it was for me and I knew it. I remember when Mommy was wrapping it and it accidentally squeaked, so I knew it was for me. (I knew it was for me because Daddy does not get gifts that have squeakers in them, ha ha) I actually did better this year because I unwrapped my own gifts – yep, I just ripped into them, played & chewed with the wrapping paper, then picked up the new toy and squeaked it. Ah, I was in doggie Heaven with all my new found toys, one happy puppy! 
The snow is starting to come down now really hard here, so we are going to get ready for some all day shoveling, or some grueling “snow blowin”.
Stay warm & bundle up when you head outside! I will for sure have my sweater on when I head outside today to play in the snow.
Love,
Snow Doggie Nikita

Hey Nikita!! Yeah, SNOW!! I LOVE playing in that white stuff!! Wish that we would get some of that white stuff again!! It has only flurried a little since our BIG snowstorm during Halloween weekend. That was SOME unexpectedly EARLY snowstorm for our area! It is supposed to be VERY, VERY COLD here for the next two days, but I don’t think that we are supposed to have any snow! Now, about your Christmas presents…Sounds as if you got some pretty COOL toys!! I LOVE your new lion!! Isn’t opening your own presents a neat thing? I LOVE ripping off the wrapping paper!! And, some wrapping paper tastes better than others! My Family thinks it is so FUNNY when I can sniff out my presents from the pile of presents and open them by myself!! We are supposed to take turns opening our presents, but I just can’t wait for my turn. So, when I find my present, I open it! My Family also lets me help them open their presents too! Doggies know how to have LOTS OF FUN!! MY Daddy went back to work today; I MISS HIM SO MUCH!! Christopher went to visit a friend for the day in Feasterville; I MISS HIM TOO!! I AM GLAD THAT MY MOMMY IS HERE WITH ME!! She MISSES Daddy and Christopher too; she said that our house is TOO quiet today! She has been giving me LOTS more hugs and kisses than usual; I think that SHE MISSES THEM LOTS AND IS GLAD THAT I AM HERE WITH HER TOO!! Well, I got to go for now; I think Mommy needs another hug and kiss! ENJOY YOUR SNOW!! And, don’t forget to make your Snowdog from the snow! I can’t wait to see it and all the snow pictures! Love, Harmony XO
HEY HARMONY! WE ARE GETTING DUMPED ON OVER HERE WITH SNOW! MOMMY HAS TO KEEP GOING OUTSIDE TO SHOVEL AS I WATCH HER FROM THE FRONT WINDOW IN THE WARM HOUSE – – POOR MOMMY, I KNOW THE WIND CHILL IS REALLY BAD OUTSIDE AND I FEEL BAD FOR HER, BUT THAT’S HER JOB TO KEEP THE DRIVEWAY CLEAN SO DADDY CAN GET IN THE DRIVE WHEN HE GETS HOME. I AM MISSING DADDY TODAY TOO, AS THIS WAS HIS FIRST DAY BACK TO WORK. I KNOW HE DID NOT WANT TO GO, BUT HE HAD TO HEAD BACK TO THE OFFICE. I ENJOYED MY TIME WITH DADDY WHILE HE WAS OFF, BUT MOMMY IS KEEPING ME COMPANY TODAY AND I’VE GONE OUTSIDE TONS OF TIMES TODAY TO PLAY IN THE SNOW WITH HER. OUR SNOW IS THAT FLUFFY KIND, SO WE CAN’T MAKE ANY SNOW DOGGIES YET, BUT I AM SURE IT WILL BE SOON. I WILL DEFINITELY GET SOME GOOD PHOTOGRAPHS OF OUR SNOW DOGGIES FOR YOU TO SEE THOUGH. KEEP WARM! I MISS YOU! WOOF WOOF WOOF, LOVE NIKITA
We got a very light snow this morning. Just a dusting. Hope you’re not stuck!
Nope, we’re not stuck over here…..Mommy knows how to use the snow shovel! LOL
