Sirius has just dumped his soggy wet, snow covered bead in my lap following his evening walk with Derek!! Oh my goodness he looks sooo cute covered in snow (Sirius not Derek! LOL) ...I was going to get Sirius a doggie coat but Derek objected because of his breed which is a bearded collie/Briard mix, but I think he is more Briard becuase of his size (big). Briards come from France and are herding dogs, but like beardies they have a double layered thick coat specialy designed to keep them warm herding cattle in cold conditions! Derek recons a doggie coat would make him too hot!!! However, Sirius adores the snow and when he first saw it last week, he rolled around in it and ended up absolutly covered in snow!! His paws were a mass of snowballs!!
This is Sirius after his walk...aka "Pud, Pud!"
a little fuzzy but he was having a jolly good shake!!...and this is a snowcovered Derek!
The snow is coming down in bucketfulls here at the moment and its set to continue, but it does make it feel so Christmassy!!! Well everything is done....cards sent, presents wrapped, decorations and tree up, the only thing that is left to do is sorting the Christmas dinner! for which preparations wont start untill Christmas eve. But its so cosey snugged up in front ot the TV, all warm and fuzzy feeling while its blowing a veritable blizzard outside! I realy apprieciate my hot nightly bubble baths when its like this...But I wouldent be caught stuggling to the pub in that blizzard for all the tea in China! Absolutly nothing beats a lovely, homely Christmas! Even if this home is just for the next month or so...
I am realy looking forward to an early night, cuddled warm beneth my super tog duvet with a warming bowl of stew for supper, some Port and feeding Sirius, my "Pud, pud" his nightly special treats! :)
