Great Pyrenees

I’m still on the dark side.

Maybe Lily, too…

Or maybe I’m just projecting…

This morning the deck is damp and cold and Lily was the only one who wanted to stay out there…

Lonely Lily

It could storming with lightning and thunder and Lily would still want to be outside.

The Minikins is a whole other story.  A storm is coming?  Hold me.  Hold me so tight I’ll come through the other side of you!

It’s Saturday.  And wet.  I plan to do a lot of reading today.  And holding Mini.

…put this together last December.  Lily is much bigger now.

Grace is my son’s dog.  She is a whippet/shar pei mix about seven years old.  She came to us as a stray…

This is really a fun new hobby!

…when you’ve just finished one and you’re already thinking about another one.

iMovie, that is:

Surely I’ll soon be able to smooth those transitions…

…that I am not, I was pleased to find an facebook message invite from S to meet at the cemetery and let the dogs play.  You want me and my dog to come?  I’ll so be there!
 
I only took Lily because Gracie and Mini get cold and want to go home too soon. 

S’s Dash, a min pin mix, is quite playful and likes to fetch.  Lily is not a fetcher, but she does love to play tug-o-war!

Anyway!

S is here to do a clerk position with a local judge.  She and her fiance (another "E") are staying with his parents while they get this year under their belts with local jobs (I think he may be an engineer) but they hope to settle in D.C. someday.  And it just so happens that these parents live nearby — we kinda met up through E’s mother.

S had told me that her E was hoping to get a Great Pyrenees someday.  It turns out his grandfather had one when E was just a boy and he has happy memories of playing with that Pyr.

And the point is — I may have talked his ear off this afternoon with all kinds of Pyr info. 

Lily was her usual shy self and would never get close enough to let S & E pet her.  Not even when they tried to tempt her with the cookies I’d brought along.  Oh, she’d approach them, but as soon as they would make a move to pet her she’d back off.

I swear, sometimes Lily looks like she is laughing at you for trying to pet her!

Still, I can’t blame anyone for trying:

 Who wouldn’t want to get their hands into that gorgeous warm coat!

…has been abundant.  Lily and I’ve been in heaven for the most of it.  (I had a nasty cold for one bout.)

I can’t remember ever having so many snows in my parts of Kentucky.  Snows that covered the ground completely and then hung around for a while. 

Having it snow and stick around so much this winter only confirms my desire to move to Alaska!  Or some other snowy place…

I don’t like driving in it, but I can walk and play in snow with no trouble (unless it’s icy — then I stay in). 

Lily and I have had some fun this winter.  She’s comes to the back door often for cookies, but doesn’t want to come in.  She can open the back door herself (unless it’s locked) and she’d keep it open and lay in the threshold all the cold day long if we’d let her.  I’m constantly getting after her to keep the door closed until I finally just have to lock it.

I think she does it to be with me and outside at the same time, but I can’t know for certain…

The cemetery in the above video (our new favorite place to play) is the old Episocpal Burying Ground and Chapel in our neighborhood.
